AS TIME PASSES . . .

Happy New Year to y'all!
2016 seemed to slip by so fast. We're hopin' that 2017 might slow down a bit.
It's been awhile since The Missus has posted the happenin's of Mr. Legendary
Leather, but truth be told, I didn't realize that time was passing so quickly.

Mr. Legendary Leather has continued to create several more of his unique leather
treasures - mostly for repeat loyal customers, but every now and then somebody
new comes along and poses a new challenge. 

Most recently, a fellow merchandiser from the The Cowboys of Norco requested 
a set of double bandoleers. Now Mr. Legendary Leather has created bandoleers 
before, so this wasn't something new to him. However, this customer was female
and she wanted them to be black. What made this a conundrum, you ask? Well,
a female fit would require a little different configuration and I think I've 
mentioned before the problems that black dye creates. 

While taking into consideration the overall fit for Miss Lily, Mr. Legendary
Leather was a little unsure since he didn't have Miss Lily available for fittings.
The Missus suggested creating an "adjustable" bandoleer. Since this hadn't 
been in his realm of thinking, it provided Mr. Legendary Leather the means
to create another unique leather item.


By adding a belt-like fitting to the shoulder of each bandoleer, Miss Lily would be
able to make adjustments to fit her costuming. If she chose to wear the bandoleers
over a jacket, she could adjust the strap. 


Mr. Legendary Leather also added a heart concho that he attached to a chicago screw.
This allowed for movement at the bottom of each bandoleer which would allow
it to sit more comfortably on its owner.

Now we really wish we had a picture of Miss Lily wearing her new set of bandoleers,
however because Mr. Legendary Leather made these unique adjustments to his creation,
it allowed him to "test" the set by wearing them in a costume contest at Calico Ghost Town's Calico Days. Oddly enough, Mr. Legendary Leather placed third in his category. 


Thank you very much to Miss Lily for puttin' her trust in Mr. Legendary
Leather's creative skills!
