The Hidden Rivet: Leather & Oddities

Truthfully, despite it being so simple, this is my new favorite accessory.
So far I've worn it with Renaissance Faire garb, outdoor wear, as well as casual classy goth styles.
Comment style and color ideas below, and you may just see it happen. 😉

This scavenger bag stays out of your way until you need it. If I'm honest, this is genuinely my new favorite addition to my daily adventure kit.
On sale for a limited time for early adopters! Click here to view more details!: https://www.thehiddenrivet.com/shop/p/scavenger-pouch

I use this as just an additional hand when I need it. Whether it's for carrying small bones found, pretty rocks, or foraging. This one is simple and clean for the most versatility in outfits.

Handmade from Veg tanned leather, and cotton canvas.

*Pic for Attention* or *Basking* --- I'm reinventing a lot. Life has many curveballs, and in the current social climate, there's so much uncertainty. I want to take a step back; listen, learn, and move forward with how I can best bring people together, and serve the needs (with maybe some "wants" thrown in) of my community.
----So I'm curious: What are some ways you are remaining grounded and positive? Have your spending habits or priorities shifted to be more utility over recreation?

‼️HELP ME CHOOSE‼️
One of my biggest pitfalls as a maker is knowing what to make next -- What is that perfect balance of fashion, utility, and cost?
I want to lean into some men's harnesses, fashion and utility combined. These are my first 3 design attempts. A. Which one should I make and advertise? B. What additional features would you look for??
Let me know below!
(Included black shirt version for stylistic choice, but red to clearly see the harness!)
#1 - Mostly for fashion, would utilize thicker leather, engraved details, and comfort lining.
#2 - Fashion harness with adaptable utility. The idea would be to allow attachment of holsters, pouches, etc. No engraving, simple, clean.
#3 - Stylish utility harness featuring two holster bags. There will be at least two compartments, can be used to conceal self defense tools, or just carry around emergency art supplies :p - The chains I think would be removable for more versatility in stylistic choices.

Custom Leather Helmet + Gauntlets. Constructed of 8-10oz veg tanned leather and padded for comfort. I'd love to invest more in headgear construction. Anything from hats to huge headdresses.
(Will share WIP and detail shots soon, but you know me, I always gotta be dramaatic first. p )

Latest work: Leather Jacket adaptation.
Starting with a plain leather jacket as a base, the goal was to make something that is a statement piece that is welcome in any club, stage, video. This one was fun, as I don't work with garments very often. This allowed me time to study the construction more, and strategize how to tackle certain issues. Working underneath the lining, and restitching it once completed.
Definitely would be down to do more stuff like this!
