Suitable Leather?

[Suitable Leather?]

Im looking into making leather Satchels etc... and Im stuck between what type of leather would be suitable. Im not talking about colour or pattern, I mean the thickness of the leather to use. I have no idea which would be best suited so I'd like opinions from anybody who could help if possible! I dont want to get an unsuitable thickness of leather and waste my money so you can understand why im asking for help

Thanks

[Leather On Ebay]

Hi all,

Im looking to start learning to work leather and make my own items out of it, however since im pretty much brand-new to the idea im not sure what to look out for. I dont want to spend a massive amount of money on leather at the moment because I simply dont know if i'll be any good or want to use an expensive piece knowing that it would well get ruined by me.

I was wondering what your experience was with buying leather on ebay I found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10sq-ft-SUPPLE-NATURAL-VEG-TAN-LEATHER-1-5mm-thick-POUCH-RE-ENACTMENT-LARP-/130955394938?pt=UK_Crafts_Leathercraft_LE&hash=item1e7d8cbf7a and I was wondering what your opinions are on it, I was looking to make a fairly simple biker style wallet - or atleast attempt to and would appreciate any help or thoughts anybody could give me on this, thanks!
