In the past few months, I worked hard to take the ColdClutch from the state of project to product.
I'm now happy with the quality of the product and my capabilities to reproduce it with consistency.
Here's a small run down of my process and materials.
The first ColdClutch's used 2-3oz leather (really thin and light) from a local larp shop. The leather was cheap but of lower grade.
I've switched to sepici natural veg tan which is a lot less dry and softer on the flesh side.
I now use a 3-4oz for the inside and outside layers offering more weight to the whole piece and an amazing feeling in hand.
I will let my supplier and expert give you a presentation of the leather

Each clutch starts from this blank canvas. I dye and finish the lesther myself.
Dying is a process that dries the leather. To ensure it keeps its softness for as long as possible, I replenish the dyed hide with its naturals oils using neatfoots oil for the inside panels, pockets and strap before sealing with 3 light coats of resolene.
For the outside layer, I use a creamy leather balm and thoroughly infuse the piece with it before I apply resolene.
Each steps here implies a long waiting time.
12h+ for the dye to dry
12h+ for the oils to set in and dry
24h for the resolene to dry
The pockets and panels are carefully hand sewed using the saddle stitch method.
For the pockets, i use a linen thread Fil Au Chinois. A reputable french company operating since 1847. When it comes to linen thread, there is no second best.
For the panels (exterior stitching) I use the premium Itza Tiger polyester thread. The highest quality when it comes to polyester.
I go through great lenght to offer a quality product that will last in time. I don't consider I work for just anyone. I work for the highest members of society. La crème de la crème. The sovereign individuals. And you deserve work that respect that.
Making these comes at great sacrifices. I now need some market signals and help to continue crafting them.
