After ....... fastening straps replaced and marked/stamped with proper case length, leather cleaned and rejuvenated, good for another 50 years, or so.









I'm thrilled with Kevin's work. If I ever need any more resto/repair work done on leather cases they will go to him.

Learned to hand stitch leather in the CG late 60s. Since have made and repaired a lot of dog leashes and collars and made a bunch of belt knife sheaths. I would say my work is about 80% of a good saddle makers quality, if I can get to both sides of the work. Leg of Mutton most of the stitches are blind inside side and a missed aligned stitch is very obvious when it comes out on the outside.

Work Stan posted is very very good way better than anything I could do. Alignment is perfect you can't see any flaws.I have a couple of LOMs that need repair and would not work on them myself. Anybody that thinks you can watch a you tube and turn out good work is misinformed

Thank you for an unbiased opinion, Boats. Like you I can stitch leather, too, if I can get to both sides of it. But, I knew this work was beyond my paltry capability and was plumb tickled when Kevin agreed to do them.

And, I know it's not brain surgery, Justin, but to paraphrase Harry Callahan, a smart man knows his limitations.
