Northmount Report post Posted December 20, 2014 That is a really great job. Very smooth, precise. Selling price $600 or more? Direct competition against the high end fashion purses. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avgvstvs Report post Posted December 20, 2014 That's a really nice design and a really clean piece of work too! Like thefanninator, I'd like to know what's the leather you used - if it's not too much to ask? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeykspiky Report post Posted December 20, 2014 The leather is just regular pebble leather. The exterior is 1.2mm, and the interior is 0.4mm. It's difficult to find 0.4mm leather in the U.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avgvstvs Report post Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Is it a chrome tanned leather? Regarding thin leather - I recently stumbled upon Pergamena (a tannery specialised in bookbinding leathers but that also has a couple of lines for fine leatherwork). https://pergamena.net/shop I have not purchased leather from them yet but so far they have been helpful with all my questions and they will split leather to your specific thickness (as long as the leather allows it). I bought their swatch book - their leather looks really nice and they have a lot of color choices. They specialise in parchment and leather, from calf, goat and deer skin. Relatively small skins (5-11 s.f.), decent prices, and affordable shipping! Edited December 20, 2014 by Avgvstvs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill46 Report post Posted December 21, 2014 Hockey -------------- Extremely Nice work ! It somewhat reminds me of a very expensive Bikers bilfold. The extra inside pockets are a nice touch. Merry Christ mas Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
