Beautiful job and great trade work!

It's funny to read this post and see the pictures because earlier today, I removed a new Tandy zipper from its package and tried to figure out how to use it and now you have shown me, by your very good pictures, how to accomplish the task:)

Thanks!

Here is a pic of the inside .....  we can get too caught up with the lining and waterproof and spills. At the end of the day, it’s “patina”...... and the “spill” or small stain, may have a memory involved.... just my $.02

agreed.  Mine is made exact same way and no issues after regular travel over two years.  Here's a crappy pic that also shows my manicure case and my travel razor.  Been wet shaving for a few years and absolutely love the Maggard's travel handle.

I think we sometimes forget that the things we are making are 10 times tougher than the stuff we can buy.

Great looking kits, guys.

I totally agree on the patina and story point, and also agree with bikermutt. It was more of a question since I have no experience with (veg tan) leather being exposed to water and moisture on a daily basis. My expectation was that it would rot from the (unfinished) inside. Good to hear that that's apparently not the case. Thanks for your experience and kudos to your Dopp Kits. Again those look great
