A good test is to be able to skive reliably to 0.5mm without tearing. I think I have been able to accomplish this by flat filing my inexpensive presser feet, polishing, and then using Nitto tape.

great. Freudenberg is a great company and the Vildona is like a miracle material

reading your post I saw some problems encountered in the past ... what I can advise you is to glue in steps ..... if you have to glue the lining to a flap with the curve, start from the flat part, and put a sheet in between between the two parts to be glued in correspondence of the curve ... first glue a part with the help of your hands ..... proceed by step .... the sheet will help you so that everything will not be glued immediately making bubbles 😉

@Eero Arte @atelierpeternitz yes a 50mm feet! works fine now.. one thing tho, the last part to skive always tear by the knife like those in the attached image.. any idea what causes it?

Okay awesome, thanks! I assume we should buy a pair of birkenstocks with the genuine leather upper in that case. Would it be possible to cover the uppers with python (around 0.7 mm thick)?

I have no experience with leather zipper wallets like this, and I’m really no expert! But it seems like at 4:11 they only stitch the ends of the zipper so not all around yet, and then at the end the thread/stitches that’s on the dark blue exterior looks like the same beige thread on the interior. So that seems to be the final stitch to assemble everything together

Hi Avihai, Thanks, I am glad you like it. This is a hardware I have developed myself and had custom made. Its not something you can find anywhere or make from something else. p
