FloridaLeatherCo Report post Posted Saturday at 03:24 PM As the title says, I am looking for possibly a pattern or help with how to make a leather Fez case. I am currently a Master Mason and a Shriner. When I was accepted into the Shriners, I got initiated with a good friend of mine. When we ordered our Fez they did not come with a case and I didn't want to buy a cheap one you can find online. For rigidity, I was thinking of using a large cylindrical paper mache hat box and then building the leather case around it, but I am having a hard time finding one that would fit the actual Fez. Most cases I have seen on the internet that are made from leather are either zipper style opening top or have some sort of clasp. I have never built anyting cylindrical like this so it would def be a challenge without help. Also, I noticed that most cases have sort of interal center piece that I assume helps hold the fez in place during travels. I did do a bit of searching and found some examples here, but nothing I could find as far as instructions or guides to assist me. I have included some photos of leather cases as an example of what I am looking to do. Thanks in advance! fezcase2.webp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted Saturday at 10:45 PM If you look at the little center piece of the middle one . . . it shows you how to lace the back to make the cylinder. Personally I would not opt for the zippered case . . . zippers and leather generally are a pain to get lined up and working. I would do the bottom style . . . two different sizes of cylinders . . . undoubtedly veggie tan . . . molded over wooden or metal cylinders . . . hand stitched on the edges. Have fun . . . looks like a challenging project. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
