cjdevito Report post Posted August 10, 2013 Pretty basic. Based off the pattern for Tandy's old Dispatch Rider briefcase, but I've changed the handle and removed the strap closures and replaced them with a clasp. Leather is a kamali pull up leather I bought from springfield leather a year ago, over a layer of bontex as stiffener. Case is fully lined with a black and white canvas fabric. The first briefcase I made ( http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=42919&hl=dispatch ) I punched the holes with a rotary punch. This time I used an awl, though clearly I have a ways to go with getting better at it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
