Members JimDavies Posted April 20, 2017 Members Report Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) A 34 year old French made (Furygan) leather racing suit gets a new life as a contemporary style 20 litre rucksack. This was a collaborative design with my facebook followers. Edited April 20, 2017 by JimDavies Quote
Members Grumpymann Posted April 20, 2017 Members Report Posted April 20, 2017 Really good job. Are those premade shoulder straps or did you make them? If the latter HOW? Quote

If the latter HOW? Hi. I use new seatbelt webbing for the straps. I just made a couple of leather tubes (28cm) to enclose the webbing and some foam padding. V. simple. Quote
