When we sold our last lace cutter several months ago, we discovered many people still wanted to purchase one. We found The Thomas Company, a local Seattle company, to make a new lace cutter based on the old specs.
This leather tool is a favorite of magician and whipmaker Louie Foxx. Louie has told us he’s tried a lot of the other lace cutters and prefers this one for comfort and durability.
Made of beechwood, it holds an injector blade that adjusts the lace width from under 1/8 inch up to about 1/2 inch. Two razor blades are included with each cutter.
Although the lace cutter is adjustable, we find it easiest to use multiple cutters set to each width we routinely need. For more information on using the lace cutter, please see David Morgan’s book Braiding Fine Leather.

David Morgan has added several new Drizabone products to its catalog. All are fabricated with the same 12 ounce oilskin cotton used in the traditional Rider’s Coat.
The Brumby Jacket is a shorter, bomber style coat. Lined with flannel, with corduroy collar and cuffs, it’s great for a stormy night.
The Bush Hat is made of the same oil cloth as the rest of Drizabone products. It’s tough enough for the Australian bush, so you can depend on it in a thorny patch. Water repellent, with meshed side vents for breathability.
Drizabone’s Travel Wallet will stand up to the toughest adventures. It’s large enough to carry all of your cards, cash and checks. The dry waxed cotton doesn’t have a greasy feel.

Our panama hat supplier sent us a series of photographs that document the making of the Panama Hat. The finest hats come from Ecuador where the climate makes it ideal for growing the toquilla straw used in making the hats. Ecuador is also home to the world’s finest hat weavers.
The straw is first chopped down and transported. 
The fiber is split into narrow strands from the stem.
The straw is dried and then bleached, if necessary.
The straw is woven and blocked into shape.
