You can use about any kind of leather on it depending on the desired out come. Quote
Members chrisash Posted August 5, 2022 Members Report Posted August 5, 2022 I woukld suggest very thin Chrome leather maybe from goat, lots of stretch Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted August 5, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted August 5, 2022 Goat would be good, but I'd suggest Sheep Nappa That's if the OP wants to just recover the box with any new leather Quote
Members Handstitched Posted August 6, 2022 Members Report Posted August 6, 2022 I have a antique typewriter in my shed...somewhere, it comes with a wood carry case ( a bit rare to even have a case I think) , similar to the case in the pic. The case needs to be recovered , so this would be good for me to learn as well. It's been on the ' round-to-it ' list for a while now. Some old cases once had a ' leatherette' type material . It would be good to see the finished product. HS Quote
