Members skalpel Posted February 17, 2016 Members Report Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Hello my friends! I present you the briefcase that i finished last week. In this project I use 2,0-2,2 mm Italian veg tan leather, 432 brown fil au chinois lin cable, YKK zipper, solid brass hardware, the rivets are made from brass also. 7 SPI.

Members BrandedSoul Posted February 17, 2016 Members Report Posted February 17, 2016 Thats is outstanding. Well done Quote
Members AndersenLeather Posted February 17, 2016 Members Report 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
Members Tugadude Posted February 17, 2016 Members Report Posted February 17, 2016 Classy, from design to execution it is well done. Quote

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
