Leather collars
14 years ago
General
Are there any people out there who make leather collars that aren't crap?
Every once in a while I'll see someone posting a journal here pointing to someone who makes collars, either because they just bought one or they're pimping their services for some reason, or whatever. I'll spend maybe 30 seconds looking at pictures of their work and just close the tab in disgust.
Honestly, there's a lot more to leather work than just cutting a few strips and sewing or riveting them together onto a backing.
Has the entire world completely lost the art of scything and rolling the edges so that the raw cuts aren't sticking out like a sore thumb? Is it too much to ask for a bit of shaping around buckles and d-rings so they don't look like they were just accidentally snagged in between two layers while the collar was being assembled?
Does nobody take pride in their workmanship anymore?
Furries, I am disappoint.

They look nice to me, but I know little about leather. . .
