One of my best old lady friends, Dolores Newell insisted that I use goatskin gloves if I work on the 🌹🥀

Thank you! I just bought these 2 types of goatskin and glad that I watched this video first before going on at it

I just got my Bible rebound with goatskin. Has a great look and feel!

This was a very nice surprise to see this morning! Great video as always Philip!

Excellent analysis. I’m about to make an iPad case and will be using goatskin as the interior with a cowhide exterior. The two hides will be contrasting colours and so was thinking about edge paint as the only option. I will now go through some of Philip’s video courses and see how I might be able to use a turned edge as a solution.

Well done Phil. Love the course...! You are an incredible teacher. Wish I lived in England... I would volunteer to clean up for a chance to learn even more from you! Thank you!

Question

I am looking to make a leather cuff bracelet. Exterior regular cowhide veg tan, interior goat skin. Would the top grain of the goat skin need to be finished with some form of water resistant product (resoline, atom wax)?? In order to resist sweat and dirt from direct skin contact? Sorry I am new to this, I know the unfinished natural cowhide veg tan needs to be finished with one of these products after dyeing, but what about the goat skin which will actually be in contact with my skin? The goat skin seems to be finished in some way already in your video.

Thanks

How effective do you think Goatskin would be for a leather jacket? Does it scuff/show marks as easily as Lambskin, and how water resistant is it, would it survive a spell of rain? Thanks.

What do you think about Goat Skin Leather that's Washed & Waxed?

I have been searching all over looking for tips on dealing with lambskin leather as I find it impossible to skive and punch chisel holes for sewing as the whole are not easy to see to get the needle through the correct spot as the whole almost disappear even though I push the chisel completely through multiple times. Also find it very hard to cut as it stretches so easily while cutting.

Is goatskin that much different from lambskin? And if so any advice on dealing with sheepskin?

The fact you opened with 'use your google-fu, I'm getting into the specifics' made me a subscriber. I'm not here for 'what is goat leather', I need the advanced lessons.

Hello! Thank you for Video. What can you advise to use for inside part of trifold wallet? Is there goat skeen with Hard temper

[williamconnock]

Interesting video, thanks. I have been looking for veg-tanned coloured goatskins for sometime. AA Crack do a lovely natural russet but all the coloured I can find are either chrome tanned or buffed, removing that lovely grain texture which is what I am looking for.

Where could I buy a good skiving knife like the one shown in the video?

[muimui-gx]

Can burnish the edge of the vegetable tanned goatskin?

[mpark]

Hi, Philip. I really enjoy these short videos where you share these tricks and tips. Quick question, what would be a good thickness for goat skin or kidskin as a liner for a card wallet or laptop sleeve?

[augustbinderybespokeatelie]

That's actually one of the nicer looking English style paring knives I've seen. You don't happen to sell those by chance?

[dmitriyobidin]

Is there a big difference between goatskin and lambskin?

[DEN]

Do you think goatskin is sturdy enough for men dress shoes?

[keyboardwarrior]

Goat skin vs crazy horse what is tougher and strech resistant??
