I guess done better is a subjective thing. I look at it differently in that I can make dang near anything I need out of leather. I could even make the leather if I had too.
No way could I make a batch on Nylon if I needed it!
One of the first projects I have in mind is a scabbard for my new Marlin lever guns.
Something to protect the full length of them while riding in the tractor or pickup and such.
