chrisash Report post Posted August 5, 2022 I woukld suggest very thin Chrome leather maybe from goat, lots of stretch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
