Schneider Tool Belt

I'm developing a Tool Belt that will stand up to the toughest abuse.  The belt portion is almost done.  It's super thick 14 oz hot stuffed harness leather and lined in 1/4" merino wool felt.  The buckle is stainless steel.  Just waiting for the tubular rivets to arrive.

This was part of a limited run...of one.  Just finalizing the details before grading into other sizes and making some serious quantity of 20 or so.

Denim work vest

This is round 2 of the QCwork vest. Adjusted length to allow sitting at sewing machine and I've been playing with some new pockets. The zigzag tool loop is for keeping those scissors accessible.

CUSTOM WINTER BOOTS
I just finished making the ultimate boots for winter in Vermont.  
The liner is 100% Merino wool felt which I hand stitched,
                                      gusseted tongue construction to keep the water out,
 Vibram Big Horn sole, speed laces, and quilted
side panels.  The leg is lined with nylon and 
the heel lined with a thick leather heel counter to 
stand up to years of wear.
Bring on the snow!

Queen city wallet


 
This is the first in a series of raw edge wallets Queen City will be offering.  Since it is constructed of only 2 pieces of leather and contains no synthetic linings,  it will last a very long time, and break in beautifully.  Distressed water buffalo, one bill compartment, 4 card slots.
