Dopp Kit Pattern

Recommended Posts

Just able to start back filling requests. The following is a couple of weeks old. Pretty easy project, not a lot of sewing or cutting but a heck of a useful Christmas present


Final print size is 24"x18"

That's a great small project. Thanks for offering it to everyone. My dope bag is getting a bit worn. I think I'll give this a go.

Thanks for posting this!

Quick question, I've never use a closure like this and am worried about long term use. Does the leather become loose over time and come open easily or is that not really an issue?

See post #1. You will have to use the tile function in Adobe pdf printing for your typical home printer, or take to a printing or copy service that prints in large formats.

I've never done anything like this. Hoping the only dumb question is the one I don't ask: what weight of leather would I use for this?

@MorningStarL I was literally just getting ready to type the same question! +1 for a weight recommendation. Thank you for posting the pattern @tboyce!

This being the February monthly pattern I'm sure y'all are not the only ones with this question. I know I was wondering the same thing when I started looking at making mine.

The Dopp Kits I make are just like the pattern posted except I used a buckle closure system and I use 6/7oz vegtan leather for mine. Over the years I have used a heavier leather, I have also used a lighter leather. The weight leather you use is really up to your liking. There is no right or wrong here, just the makers personal preference IMO.

Good Luck on the challenge!

I'm using the same leather I used for January's vertical wallet pattern, 2-2.5 oz calfskin.

If you're planning on tooling 6-8oz would probably be fine.

Thanks Tom. Serious amount of good will your way with all these patterns.

Made the drop kit and really happy with it. Next time around I might cut the sides attached to the body. Will make assembly a bit easir but might not look as nice.
