Matt T Report post Posted March 22, 2014 Whipped this out yesterday for my laptop. Used horween leather, and the inside is unfinished. I think the top flap seems a bit wide, even though it is the same width as the front, back. What do you guys think? http://imgur.com/a/b37C2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rscow Report post Posted March 22, 2014 I like it. And a little wide never hurt anything...keeps the rain and stuff out. Roger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt T Report post Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks guys! One thing I need to consider in the future is that the handle causes the leather to flex. I reinforced it underneath with a thick vegtan strip connecting the handle rivets, but I think a metal strip would work better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulsleather Report post Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Matt, I ran into the same thing when I did a briefcase out of black water buffalo (too soft). I had to go with a piece of aluminum flat stock, a couple of screws, wrapped it in matching leather and it worked out just fine. That Horween leather looks great and the stitching sure is neat and tidy! Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
