AndersenLeather Report post Posted February 17, 2016 That is a really nice briefcase. 2-2,2mm doesn't sound like much but it looks like it holds its shape without any problems. I like that it has a news paper pocket. The stitching and edges looks flawless. The leather for the partition board is skived to the same thickness as the gusset? The accordion gusset looks nice but I guess it is only for show as there are no extra holes in the straps? Where do you get your leather from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I skived this leather by edges. After I took the pictures I made another two extra holes in the straps. I bought this leather by www.aacrack.co.uk Very good contact and realy fast shipment. Ps. I'm realy sorry for my English language.... :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
