steveb leatherworks: the blather

I work with a wide range of customers, really keeps things interesting for me…and alot of fun…OTR Drivers, Dr’s, Lawyers, Bikers (in all their glorious flavors), Criminals, Oldsters, Cowboys, Soldiers, Cubicle Jockeys, Cage Drivers, Construction Workers, Line Workers, Car Mechanics…ah, “auto repair technicians, sorry…..I just never know.

Anyway, it was requested I craft this wallet for a special customer. I am not usually asked to come up with graphics that are so specifically “lifestyle”… as sometimes this iconography is not appropriate for future stages of the bearer’s life and I generally suggest we do something less overt, as this wallet is going to be around for a real long time…. Nope, not in this case.. and with the Special Customer showing proper identification..I got to work and came up with what you see here.

Found a real old extremely genuine 60’s era patch to use as the template for the type treatment. Seems back in the day, this particular piece had a thinner, reedier type, as opposed to the fatter, more bold look we see on cuts today. It will look great with wear and tear, really show some class in time. This is a piece I hope to get to see once its broken in.

Just realized, I have a numerical theme running here with the past entry..curious indeed….need to look into that….
