08. Attach lacing

Take three lengths of 4mm (3/16in) leather lacing, one to go over your neck and two to tie around the waist. Give yourself more than you need. Use a lace-making tool to prepare your own or use bought lace. Making your own will give you more colour options, and you can use thicker, stronger leathers if you have them. Take the shorter one and tie a knot at one end. Pass it through a button and then through one of the top eyelets. Pass back through the other one and tie off at the desired height. Take the two longest ones, knot at one end and pass through the sides.

Tip: If your leather seems a little stiff or firm, place it on a flat surface, fold it in half and then roll it slowly backwards and forwards to loosen the grain and soften the leather. This will make it more flexible and comfortable for the initial wear-in period.
