Thank your for all the help! I will probably go with 5oz. then since I want to put a liner inside. What size are the leatherpieces in your pictures? Sadly I didn't find a specific tutorial on how to make this kind of bag yet so I don't have the dimensions for every pieces I will need in the end but the pictures you sent look roughly big enough to fit everything

Would you recommend this weight in general for this project or just for this leather?

Hey, sorry i didn't know about that! Here are the pictures in question for the bag! Thank you for the detailed answer, i will definitely check them out!

Hello good people! I'm kinda new to this and was looking for helpful information which led me to this page, so I'm hoping someone with more experience here can help me! I made a few smaller projects up until now but wanted to try and make something bigger this time: the bag in the pictures. Sadly I'm not quite sure what type and thickness of leather to use for this project? I read that cowhide / calfskin is mostly used in making bags, would that be a good option here? Since in my mind the bag needs to have some kind of stability to it and from my experience cowhide seems to be kinda soft? Also which thickness can you recommend for a project like this? Since again in my mind it needs to have a firmer body to stay in shape and not get distorted while wearing it. I hope somebody here can help me and I'm thanking everybody who answers in advance!
