Members Oliver Posted December 21, 2009 Members Report Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Hi all, New poster here - first I'd like to say thank you to everyone contributing on the website, I've found a wealth of information here going through thousands of post over the past few weeks. I am a new enthusiast leather worker. Finished my first project only yesterday, a hand stitched ring binder portfolio. fun fun I am looking to make a bag next: the design I've chosen is a fairly heavy wet moulded gentleman's bag similar to a doctor's bag. The problem is I do not know which type of saddling leather to choose from the top retailers: Hermann Oak and W&C sell: tooling, skirting, harness, latigo etc. I am looking for the best veg tan leather I could use for the final bag. I was thinking 2 mm thick. So my question is, which type of saddle leather would i buy to make a big wet moulded bag, and which colour corresponds to the natural blonde colour that I can dye and antique myself? Many thanks & happy holidays Oliver Edited December 21, 2009 by Oliver Quote

Members Oliver Posted December 22, 2009 Author Members Report Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Here is a picture for more or less to what I am trying to achieve. The difference is that it will have a brass frame instead of a zipper, and the sides will be moulded up to the frame, not slouched as on the photo. am i just asking a stupid question? :S Edited December 22, 2009 by Oliver Quote
