SpecialAdvisor’s Mad Labs - Mars Leather Mods Plus

I know this probably looks like a raccoon on crack did this but on short notice it’s all I got.

With one line of perforations this is what I see that makes any sense.

OK...well this is the reason for my weeks of head scratching and procrastination. I keep looking at all the photos of Mars Jordans online and then looking at my Crater and back and forth and back and forth. I kept asking myself how are they achieving this stitching pattern with one line of perforations? I was thinking they used some elaborate stitch pattern that went under the back of the leather on the face side but could see no thread buldge under the leather. Thus I got the Stunt Double to test on. This morning I took off one wing leather and 'tada'..."two" lines of perforations. Now...I'm keeping in mind that the stunt double is definitely not identical...such as the lack of an split at the usual C-Ring location. I searched and searched and could not find a pic of a Mars Jordan with no leather on it. But...if the stunt double is accurate? Then all Craters have one line of perforations and Mars Jordans have two lines of perforations per side? Well...if so time to get creative! Bring on the carpet tape!

P.S. Yes...I did scratch the Carp out of the Stunt Double on the inside getting the leather off...thus I'm glad I ain't initially tinkering with my Crater!

Those were probably the guys who stitched the new lux mars

Had to take a break from Oakley Gear this AM and make the Wife a new watch band.

Hey @Yo Flawch! I finally used the Salmon Leather. So far…it’s probably the perfect thickness for wrapping sunglasses. Thin as onion skin but still looks cool

…now…back to the Oakley Shenanigans

The salmon leather looks great on the watch band. I thought it was a different color in your original photos. Happy Thanksgiving!

Right back atcha Brother ()!

It is a sorta rose gold with a brown Fall like feel. Looked very different in the pics when I bought it. It looked more steampunk bronze. This is not for me but the Wife loves it.

I think your procrastinating. Let's see you finish up that crater!

Ahem….yeah. That’s the Croc.



Course…now the “Hard” part…

Dude that’s badass.

Many thanks!

Amazing what one can accomplish with zero training, sharp blades, and lots of bandaids

How do you make the cuts, are you doing them manually with a knife or scissors?
