Skinth Mondo Shield In Burgundy- Review

[Finnegan]

I’m not crazy impresssed. And I indicate in the review as to why. Craft has to be meticulous, and you have to be very careful what you put out. Any leatherwork I showed on the review was not put out for sale by me, because I didn’t feel the work was ready for sale. My tobacco pipes, however, I worked very hard at, for years, until I felt I was ready to sell one. And then the pipes did well. I’m not totally dissing the Skinth work, just sharing my experience.

Ps

If you watch this on Youtube you’ll see I’ve expanded on a few things in the description section, including identifying the little stainless tube I use as by Gusmade, a fabulous American company.

First, regarding the nick in the fabric, did you contact Skinth about it to give them a chance to address the issue? Second, regarding the extra snaps to snug the top down and the fact that the flap is higher than you would like, the Skinth website tells you what each pouch is designed to accommodate. The fact that you are choosing to put smaller items in there, thus leaving extra room at the top, doesn't mean there is a problem with the design. Third, I have three or four Skinth products. I think they are well-made and they do exactly what Skinth claims they will do. Fourth, if you have suggestions on how the products could be improved, have you shared them with Skinth?

First- no I did not. It should not have been sent out in the first place. Second- I’m quite aware what the website says. I simply state in my review that a better design choice would be to offer extra snaps. Third- I’m thrilled you’re happy with your Skinth product. I’m not happy with mine, though I give a measured and balanced review. Fourth- yes, I did share my ideas with Skinth, in this review. Fifth- thanks so much for your profound insight. I’ll study your words of wisdom daily for the next year, and one day I too might know-it-all. Sixth— my review, as I reiterated ad nauseum in response to reader response to my theatre reviews, is my own. Yes, that’s right, it’s my opinion. Take it or leave it, I really could care less. I’m simply trying to assist my fellow members with their decision, not get into a long ponderous argument about what your opinion of my review might be. And I think I have done that. I’ve interacted with some great folks here, and the review is for them. I think they’ll appreciate it. Bye now.
