King's X Report post Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Beautiful. Machine or hand stitched? I have a bet going here. Edited January 31, 2012 by King's X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop Report post Posted January 31, 2012 thanks Kings x it is stitched with a cobra 3 machine. i got the cobra 3 because i normally just holsters and other small concealed carry gear, but now i think i'm gonna have to get the cobra 4 so i have more room to do bags.

troop Report post Posted January 31, 2012 thanks, i used to hand sew everything, but had to get a machine to keep up with orders. at first i thought i wasted my money, but after a few weeks of practice i couldn't do without it. Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 31, 2012 Great job...........I won! I hand stitch all of my work, but you have some great lines going on that bag with that machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramrod Report post Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) sweet! that's a real nice piece, troop. a nice heavy divider and it looks like a couple of pockets, too. you used some upholstry leather for the lining it looks like. i'm dying to make an attorney's briefcase with a divider like you've got. i'm thinking maybe two dividers for the one i want to make.

wnkleather Report post Posted March 23, 2012 built my first briefcase. much harder than i thought, but well worth it. Tony WOW! That's the kind of bag I like to steal ideas from (sorry). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop Report post Posted March 24, 2012 WOW! That's the kind of bag I like to steal ideas from (sorry). not a problem at all. i looked at several different bags and cases and took a little from each myself. kinda hard i would think you own a copyright on a rectangular briefcase. lol would love to see pictures if you do one. i'm working on my second one right now. it's a little different from the first per my customers order.
