Hi,
I'm a newbie here & I'm an RV technician. To be efficient at my job I need to carry several small tools around. I used to buy and use the small nylon camera bags (that attach to your belt), but since I'm a pretty active guy (often crawling around under RVs), these things would typically tear out after only a couple months. About 15 years ago I went to a custom leather luggage maker in Portland, OR and he made me one of these out of leather.
This was the answer! The bag was awesome, but like anything else it eventually wore out. So over the last 15 years, I've had 3 of these made (about 1 every 5 years). Now I'm ready for another bag, but unfortunately the luggage shop is now closed. I came here hoping to find somebody that can do a job like this. I don't need custom art work, I'm mainly interested in quality construction that's heavy duty & functional. If you're interested in this sort of job or know somebody who might be, I could send an old bag to use as a pattern. If I like the end result I may be interested in 2 or 3 of them. The approximate dimensions are 9" H X 5" W X 3" D. Here are some pictures:
