considered slicking the edges? just a thought. . .
Bah? that would be?
Have never done leather work before, so this technical term is beyond me. Could you please explain.
I am only going to wear this on casual and informal occasions.

There's a little tool that you can use that has what I can only describe as a groove/lip on the edge, and if you rub it against the leather when slightly damp it will smooth the edges and give it somewhat of a slick look. Not sure what the tool's called, only used it once to make a canteen strap under supervision from someone who had done it before.
