BradB Report post Posted October 21, 2008 That looks really good Luke! What weight leather did you use and is it going to have a strap or just the handle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKRay Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Nice, tough looking job, Cousin, I can recognise its saddlebag 'heritage'. It is good to see more of your work on the forum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hatley Report post Posted October 21, 2008 THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR FEED BACK.. Brad B the leather 5-6oz mock tanned cowhide with a very nice texture. the handle has a pc of 9-10oz veg tan leather sewn between the front and back of the handel. I thought about a carrying strap but he said "he did not want a Man Bag" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted October 21, 2008 You beat me to punch about the man bag thing. Knew it would come up somewhere;-) Like you said this texture is really nice and classy. Hope I get to work with it sometime. The bag looks absolutely great and everything is neat and in place. Beautiful buckle too! Nice and clean job Luke!

Mattmatt Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Totally cool. If you had 2 with a way to attach them like traditional saddle bags, that would be great for those days when you just can't get everything in one. Maybe the attaching strap could be wide with a rounded out area in the center. Then you could throw them over your shoulder and have the rounded out are to make it more comfortable on the neck. If the strap was rounded to match the neck. Wow sorry, I have a tendency to get rolling when something attacks my attention. Great work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"" yes i have made double "Man Bags" before . the yoke that goes over the shoulder is made much narrow, for a confortable fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Excellent work! Be sure to copyright that design of yours. I give it two maybe three weeks before you start seeing women's purses with a VERY similar design.....maybe 6 months and it'll be in discount clothing stores. Dang knock off artists...

BruceGibson Report post Posted December 7, 2008 Nice job! I remember when the singer Sammy Kershaw used to carry the double saddle bags over his shoulder everwhere he went. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
