Brilliant idea, thank you.You should see if they can make you a belt or wallet with the “waste” that would be really cool and save on the “waste.”

Or a nice cardholder6-oz is kinda thin for a belt. I recently got 12/13-oz blanks and will try to make a belt myself - that is the thickness worthy of this jacket. 6-oz might be good for a nice wallet.

As far as a belt goes they could use the Horween leather on the outside and bond it with another backing leather to make it more substantial.Yeah maybe not a belt. Wallet for sure. But something. My thinking was simply that it’s your leather you paid for it. Since there will be waste and they are the professionals and have the skills to make something you should definitely ask. If you get the leftovers back that’s fine but you’re not a skilled tradesmen and if you send it someplace else you’re just paying to have another company do what I imagine they can do anyway. Figured you might as well ask while ya can. Then you could have some awesome cardholder or wallet to match your jacket!
He also included this leftover piece so I can make some extra zipper pulls myself.^^ cool, I'm happy the excess shinki aren't going to waste

I might have an even better idea. I see a Shinki Batman mask

Of course you can use it. Just use it in a hide that a manufacturer can work with. Your original concept just wasn't doable.so it turns out this company can't do it, the machine won't take it.
I paid over $300 for lining and zippers and now I can't use it.
I paid my tuition and learned something in a hard way. I hope my failure experience will be helpful to TFL.
just let them skive the seams to a workable thickness, having too thick of seams with too long of threads running through it doesn't add strength to the construction.so it turns out this company can't do it, the machine won't take it.

Wasn’t there a gut who saddle stitched his own jacket awhile back? I think a bag maker is a good start- or a saddle maker or shoemaker.
