Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 9, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted October 9, 2011 Here's an oldie but a goodie - http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=14759&hl=%20indiana%20%20jones&st=15 That should give you a starting point, if you want a simple style bag. You can also use the search function with the terms 'MESSENGER BAG' for some other options. Yes, chrome tanned leather is a good choice, as it will be a little more resistant to the environment (rain, scuffs, etc.) and won't need as much finishing work to the leather. A note on using chrome tanned leather- the edges should probably be turned to hide the edge, as it doesn't burnish well. Quote
