Hello my friends.
After 15 min walk in rain my bridle leather briefcase made from Sedgwick bridle leather looks very bad.
I would like to ask, this is normal or not?
after 24 hours:
Thank you for reply.
Thank you very much! I worked on that briefcase about 1 month but I work only few hours per night, because I have a full time job as a administrative worker in Hospital :D
Thank you very much for your words.
Yes, I skived this leather by edges.
After I took the pictures I made another two extra holes in the straps.
I bought this leather by www.aacrack.co.uk Very good contact and realy fast shipment.
Ps. I'm realy sorry for my English language.... :/

Yes I do that. In my opinion it is very important. Otherwise leather could tear at this place.
I don't use them I use a overstitch wheel in size circa 6 spi.
Very thanks for this information. I will use them in the next project
This is how look this briefcase after one year of use.
Thank you very much for your compliments. This is the price of the tannery, of the whole double bend, not for square meter. without shipping cost (+10 euro). I thought it was not a big price when I look of the prices of Sedgwick's leathers. I bought now one Sedgwick shoulder (10 sq ft) by Abbey England and included the shipping cost (30 GBP) and taxes (20% VAT) i paid 164 euro.... :/
