stormcrow Report post Posted September 20, 2018 Anyone know where I can find a lever closure like the one in the picture? Or what would you call this type of closure so I can try to search for one. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) I don't know, but I like it! Hope someone on the forum knows the answer. I searched the closure on Google Images, and found nothing like it. Jeff Edited September 20, 2018 by alpha2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've also searched all over for them and not had any luck finding them yet. Just ordered some horween Dublin to make myself a bag and I'd love to use a closure like this for it.

Jeff The ones I ordered arrived a couple of days ago they are good quality. like you all I have to do now is work out what I'm going to make now. I need to finish the one I'm currently busy with first though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted September 29, 2018 I have an entire subfolder in my leatherwork folder devoted to "bag closure ideas". I'm not happy with the ones I've done so far. My first was a magnetic closure. Too hard to make the magnets line up (socket type) quickly. The second one was a buckle, but with a hidden closure under that, because who wants to fool with a buckle every time they get into the main pocket of a bag. Anything that takes three hands to use is not right for a bag. A simple fold over is best, but not from a security standpoint, and my wife has a pistol in her bag.

alpha2 Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Received my parts from Ohio Travel Bag. A little bigger and heavier than I expected. They would need to be used on something large enough to be in proportion. Nice quality stuff though. I saw a belt online that used this closure on a belt, that was different!
