Matt T Posted March 22, 2014 Report 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
Members rscow Posted March 22, 2014 Members Report Posted March 22, 2014 I like it. And a little wide never hurt anything...keeps the rain and stuff out. Roger Quote

Matt T Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report 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
Members Paulsleather Posted March 23, 2014 Members Report 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
