RidgebackCustoms Report post Posted June 26, 2022 The original pattern for this duffle came from a vintage Harley bag in the mid-70s. I remade the template and made my own custom bag. Went with a theme to show off some extensive tooling. Leather process: Tooling, oiled using Neatsfoot oil compound, tankote, antique apply with damp towel cleaning up the excess, then another layer of tankote. All brass hardware and no stitching anywhere on the bag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredk Report post Posted October 1, 2022 Another late reply. I dunno how I missed this until now That is really some bag/holdall (we call a different style of bag a 'duffle bag' ) I'd be afraid to use it out in the real world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
