Some times I just want to try something and start making stuff with no finale design or plan in mind. What will they be? 🤷🏽‍♂️ A codpiece? A mask/muzzle? 🤔 something else completely? I’m gunna to think on that. If you have any suggestions I’m open to hearing them 😁

I started this helmet a while ago. I got it cut out and all the holes punched before it sat on the shelf for about a year 😜. I’m really pleased with how it came out. I a variety of techniques in this project including wet molding the brows, tooling and antiquing the sutures of the skull. 💀

One of my big projects for the summer is this short bar vest. I’m really happy with how the pattern turned out and the first few vests I made. I currently have the pattern in L and XL. When I finish grading the pattern down for smaller sizes you will see it in the store at messrs.ca #meninleather
