I made this for a colleague at the office. It's made from a 4-5 Oz. veg tan. The lining is a full grain pig skin. Dyed in a Fiebing's British Tan. It's all hand-stitched. It is actually my 4th leather project ever and unfortunately, I know where every single mistake is.

Thank you everyone. Very nice of you. You are all too kind.

Craftsman: yes. I put on three coats with an airbrush. Then a top coat 50/50 mix of acrylic matte and water.

Monica: I only do leather working as a hobby in my spare time. And my full time job takes up A LOT of time. So, I only work a little here and there. I didn't exactly keep track of the time, but all in, I'd say I put in approximately 90 to 100 hours.

Yeah, I guess I can see that. The lining itself (which I have not attempted yet) probably adds a fairly large extra time percentage, and you have a lot of little details all over that thing.
