Welcome to the ARMADILLOMAN'S LEATHER STEEM SHOP! Wear Your Steem! Handcrafted Leather Goods.

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Have you been waiting for some real world cryptocurrency purchasing options?  You may not yet be able to buy your shredded wheat and yogurt with STEEM, but you can cover your head, hold up your pants and tote your ID in items purchased with your favorite cryptocurrency.   

And here they are...handcrafted, embossed and painted leather goods with the Steem symbol and Steemit name you can purchase today!  Check these out...

All prices below are quoted in USD.  I will quote a Steem or SBD price (depending on what the loopy market is doing on that day) if you wish to make a purchase.

The STEEMIT HATBAND

LOW CROWN LEATHER TOP HAT



The hatband is 1 1/8" wide with a gold buckle and rivets embossed with "Steemit."  EXCLUSIVE...I am only selling this hatband here.  OR I can make one with Steemit AND the Steem symbol OR I can make one with just the Steem symbol all around the band.  $25 USD equivalent in Steem or SBD.  Hatband does not come with a hat.

The hat is made of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned cowhide, hand colored in mottled browns.  5-6 oz. rolled brim for a casual feel.  I recently did a "How I did that" leather hat photo blog on this hat that you should take a look at.

Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large hat size.  Medium, Dark Brown, Solid Brown or Black color.

$129 USD on Etsy.  See this Etsy listing to purchase a hat like this with USD.  Hat does not come with a hatband.

The STEEMIT BELT

1 1/2" wide vegetable tanned cowhide belt, hand embossed and dyed.  30-52" waist.   
I can color these in...

  • Solid dress belt black (to wear you Steem to church)
  • Solid brown, 
  • Antique (red, yellow and brown tones...the same colors as the wallet below) 
  • Brown Burst (pictured above) 

With your choice of either an antiqued nickel plate or antiqued brass (dressier) buckle.

$65-95 USD on Etsy depending on size.  See the Etsy listing to purchase this belt with USD.

The STEEM Buckle

 

2 1/8" X 3 1/8" Vegatable tanned cowhide, hand embossed and colored.  This buckle will fit any 1 1/4 - 1 3/4" belt that has snaps to remove the buckle.  I posted some process shots of making this buckle you might want to check out in this Photo Blog

$25 on Etsy.  See this Etsy listing to purchase a buckle with USD.

The STEEM Card Wallet

All hand embossed, sewn and colored.  I recently posted a "How I did that" card wallet photo blog of making these that you may not have seen.   Each is made with vegetable tanned cowhide and hand colored with an antique look with red, yellow and brown tones.  The pictured card wallet is a 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 inches sized one, perfect for 6-8 cards and slightly oversized ID cards.   Please let me know if you would be interested in a money clip version of this.

$40 USD on Etsy.  See this Etsy listing to purchase a wallet with USD.

CUSTOM MADE ITEMS MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE AS EVERY PIECE OF COWHIDE IS DIFFERENT AND ACCEPTS COLOR DIFFERENTLY. I TRY TO TAKE PICTURES THAT TRUELY REPRESENT THE ITEM. THE ACTUAL ITEM MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN COLOR DUE TO LIGHTING, PHOTO PROCESSING AND THE MONITOR YOU ARE VIEWING.

  

If you wish to purchase an item for USD on Etsy and live ouside of the USA, Sorry... I am not taking  international orders from my Etsy shop.  Nothing against shipping internationally, its just that I can scarcely keep up with domestic demand on Etsy, let alone global. So I limit the Etsy market to the USA.  

I will certainly ship items sold from Steemit intenationally (allow 2-4 weeks delivery) BUT international buyers will be responsible for their own customs duties.  Sorry, no, I won't lie on the form to say it is a gift, so please don't ask me to.  

  

All of the items in this post can be purchased with SBD or STEEM

Here is the deal.  These are custom, made to order items.  If you would like to purchase using Steem or SBD, let me know in a comment below and we will chat about it.  If you wish to talk via email, give me a shout on chat or discord and I will send you an email address.  I will give you a Steem and SBD price (plus shipping) for the item you desire and that number will be valid for 12 hours when you contact me below, via discord, email or on Etsy.  If you are an Etsy user, and would rather, we can negotiate payment on Steemit and exchange shipping info privately through the Etsy message system.   

  

This little leather shop is my power up project and all the Steem received will stay on the Steemit platform. Selling within the Steemit environment is still an experiment for me. If something does not make any sense, please let me know in the comments below.  Thank you for your kind attention!

Good work here partner!

You're onto something. I think you should make a phone case/sleeve if you haven't already. Will be sure to get many purchasing. I'll check your Etsy out. Good to have your skills on steemit though.

Thanks! I avoid making phone cases because there are just too many phone configurations and over time I just don't make money with them.

Yeah that's true.

OMG, your art is so dopeeee!! do you sell masks?

Like a plague doctor mask?

No I never have done a plague doctor mask although do have a design for one in my head. Some time when I have nothing else to do maybe. Follow the Etsy link and see what I have in the shop now. Anything in the shop now I will consider making a deal in Steem or SBD or as always USD. Or just stop to look around if you have the time.

Thanks for the kudos, @pluspower!

Cool!
Never even knew armadillo leather was a thing
Any armbands coming in future?
Edit:
I checked your shop, the cuffs are neat, but I am looking for something smaller, and free of nickel, do you take orders?

Armadillo leather, real armadillo leather isn't a thing, which kind of a joke. I have thought about getting a shell and making and helmet of it though.

What kind of armband are you looking for?

That leather top hat 🎩 👌🏼

Hi, hello, hola, guten tag, howdy, chadoin, sup, top of the mornin to ya.

@armadilloman, you're work is amazing! What got you into leatherworking?

Thanks! A Jr High shop class a looooong time ago can be blamed for my lifelong fascination with leather.

Haha, I guess catching the bug so long ago is what's made you the artist you are today! Do you find it challenging to work with leather?

Thanks! Yes. As I say in the post, its unforgiving. Concentration wanders a bit and you do something that you hadn't planned on or that cant be worked around and it start over.

You're welcome. Haha, I have a wandering concentration myself. I've done some wood working, and that can be unforgiving at times. Your leather hats are sweet by the way!

Hi! I like your leatherwork a lot. Really nice stuff.

Hi! My wallet is falling to pieces so I would love to win / buy one of these.

Oh cool I missed this post when it came out, just arrived here from your contest post to say "Hi" :) I am seriously considering the hat...

And I bet you would look good in that hat, carlgnash :)

Hi

Sweet! I love the top hat!
