Value in Vintage: Part III/III

Value in Vintage: Part III/III

            Quality, character, and durability. Every machine and piece of equipment we started with was vintage. Starting with older machines was where we began because it’s all we could afford.

 

In 2012 we were notified through friends in the business that there was a bag maker in Jersey City that was selling his uncles entire workshop. Located in a basement, there was a ton of equipment and supplies. Scissors, rulers, wooden boxes, metal storage drawers, seam rippers, old webbing, a leather press, sewing machines and more. We drove a huge truck up and filled it with all we could. Anything he had, if we thought it could be put to use, we put it in the truck. There was a small leather press (still heavy as hell) we had to take apart to get out of the basement. Even apart, it was incredibly heavy (at about 800 lbs) and required a multiple-man carry. Some how, we got it out of the basement, loaded it up, got it home, and came to realize- it didn’t even work.  These old black singer machines were wonderful to start with, producing an incredible stitch, but we needed a different machine to make the heavy-duty bags we dreamed of. We have stored a lot of our original machines away for a rainy day but sold a few in order to afford newer machines capable of sewing through thicker fabric and leather.

 

            These older machines though… it’s hard to explain, but they have a beautiful stitch and feel to them. Think of it as how it feels to start up and drive an old car around town. It cruises differently. It still gets you from point A to point B, but the experience is not the same. For this reason, most of our most loved pieces of equipment remain vintage, being used on a daily in the shop.

 

Although we never used that original leather clicker press from the old workshop in Jersey City, our current press is probably the oldest machines in the shop. Dating from the 1940’s this clicker is massive and powerful. Holding our custom-made dies, this piece of equipment cuts every strap, bottom, and small detail from our veg-tanned leather. Many of our sewing machines are 1970’s-80’s walking foot machines along with our brand-new Juki machines. Our skiver (thins leather down for easier sewing) is new as well. Our fabric cutter, button press, iron, and most hardware hammers are vintage from the Jersey shop as well. We also have a unique combination of new and old: our heated stamp press. The stamp is brand new which creates all of our branding patches while the base and structure are an old drill press, customized to become a stamp press!

 

            Our machines mean everything to us. We have become more selective over the years, choosing what we enjoy making with, which a lot of the time is something old and well made. Training our team how to use each one with care and skill, we service, inspect, and rely on these machines. We often joke that Aaron (our owner and head seamster) has a magic touch with these things… a machine can be acting up, not one of us can figure it out- yet he will give it one touch and it’ll go again.

 

            Our daily tools and trusty machines prove to us time and time again that there is a value in vintage that cannot be reproduced, one we do not take for granted.

USDT RECOVERY EXPERT REVIEWS DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION

It’s great to hear that you’ve found a way to recover your Bitcoin and achieve financial stability, but I urge you to be cautious with services like DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION Recovery." While it can be tempting to turn to these companies when you’re desperate to recover lost funds, many such services are scams, designed to exploit those in vulnerable situations. Always research thoroughly before engaging with any recovery service.

To protect your assets, use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and consider using cold wallets (offline storage) for long-term storage. If you do seek professional help, make sure the company is reputable and has positive, verifiable reviews from trusted sources.

While it’s good that you found a solution, it’s also important to be aware of potential scams targeting cryptocurrency users.

My recent experience with CyberGenieHackPro through Telegram stands out as the highlight of my life. I hit a major low point in my personal and professional life. I suffered a significant setback in my business after foolishly putting all my faith in a crypto platform I was completely unfamiliar with. I was tricked into investing in what seemed like shares of tech giants like Meta platforms and Tesla. It all began with a small investment, but as my crypto investments grew, I was astounded by my profits, which encouraged me to invest more. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. I had only put $504,000 at risk, and my return on investment was already in the millions of dollars. Their responses to my emails became increasingly distant as I started to initiate a withdrawal to use my funds, and that’s when it hit me, all of this was part of a sophisticated crypto scam, and I had been duped. I refuse to let this fraudster ruin my life. I have lived my life with integrity and hard work, and I won’t let some dishonest individual take advantage of me. I reached out to a few friends in law enforcement, but they all said the same thing: it would take a long time to track down these scammers, and I didn’t have the patience for that. I decided to take matters into my own hands and came across a group of exceptional cyber security and ethical hacking experts, Cyber Genie Hack Pro. After several sessions, I was convinced they were the right team to help me recover my stolen investment. Their skills and determination were clear as they worked through the complexities of blockchain transactions and cryptocurrency protocols penetrating these scammer’s systems. Their exceptional abilities throughout the process were impressive, and I was able to reclaim my stolen funds in just 13 hours instead of the 8 hours they had promised. They successfully recovered my funds. The feeling of relief, trust, and hope I experienced working with Cyber Genie Hack Pro was incredible, and that’s what the world needs more of. Once a victim, Cyber Genie Hack Pro turned my situation around, and I am now a winner. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Cyber Genie Hack Pro team for their outstanding work.

Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.
