Joseph ★★★★★

The stitching guides on the leather pieces are printed right on, which made cutting everything out way less intimidating than I expected. I've had the finished backpack for three weeks now and the waxed thread has held up perfectly through daily commutes.

Richard ★★★★★

This was my first leathercraft project, and the kit had everything I needed to get started right away. The pre-punched holes on the leather pieces saved me a ton of time and frustration. Overall, a solid purchase for someone wanting to try their hand at making something unique.

William F. ★★★★★

The leather-cutting templates fit perfectly with the stitching holes already marked, so even my first project came together without a single miscue. I've already got two pieces planned out for this weekend, and the whole kit feels like it was built for exactly what I wanted.
