FROM OUR WORKSHOP

How Every Piece Is Made

From hide selection to final burnish, every Mocgoods piece is cut, stitched, and finished by hand in our Da Nang workshop. Here is a look behind the bench.

Step 01

Reading the hide

Not every part of a hide makes a strap. The belly scales need to fall straight - centered, regular, no skipped rows. We walk the template across the panel until the rows line up under it, then mark where the cut will go.

Step 02

Drawing the pattern

The pattern goes on kraft paper at full size. Tail length, buckle end, taper, pin holes - all set on paper before a blade touches the leather. Mistakes here are cheap; mistakes after this point are not.

Step 03

Cutting

The kraft template is traced onto the back of the hide with a fine awl, then cut by hand with a fresh blade. One steady pull per line. If the line wavers, the piece goes to the scrap pile - we never try to save a bad cut.

Step 04

Stacking the layers

Six pieces make one strap: top exotic, a calfskin underlayer, closed-cell foam for the curve, the lining for the wrist side, plus two thin strips for the keeper loops. Everything is dry-fit first, before any glue touches anything.

Step 05

Skiving

Each edge runs through the bell skiver - a small rotating disc that shaves the leather down to a fine ramp. Hold the piece wrong and you cut through. We have been over this machine thousands of times; the hand finds the angle on its own now.

Step 06

Glue and assemble

Latex contact glue, brushed on both sides, left to tack. The layers go together once - the bond is permanent, so the alignment has to be right the first time. The strap takes shape between two thumbs.

Step 07

Trimming the blank

The glued blank is trimmed back to the pattern line and the edges flattened with a fresh blade. This is the first moment the strap looks like a strap - one clean shape, ready for the stitch line to be marked.

Step 08

Marking the stitch line

A brass pricking iron is struck with a poly mallet down the edge, walked forward one tooth, struck again. Every hole is set in advance - so the needle never has to guess where it is going next.

Step 09

Saddle stitching

Strap clamped in a wooden pony. Two needles loaded with waxed polyester thread, both hands moving in opposite directions, locking each stitch in place. Hours per side. The result is a stitch that cannot run - cut one and the next ones hold.

Step 10

Edge painting

Edge paint is mixed to match the strap colour, in small batches. A fine applicator lays it down in a thin pass. The edge is heat-set, sanded back with very fine grit, and the next pass goes on. Three to five passes - until the seam reads as one piece of edge.

Step 11

Boxed and shipped

Last check: stitch count, edge finish, leather grain, buckle alignment. Anything off goes back. The strap is laid into a Moc Goods box with a handwritten thank-you card, sealed, and shipped from Da Nang to your door with tracking.

Small batches. Slow hands.

Every Moc Goods piece is cut, edged, burnished and stitched in our Da Nang workshop. We don't believe in factories - we believe in the time it takes to make a single strap properly.

What you get is leather that gets better with every wear, every scratch, every story.
