Members Spyros Posted September 2, 2020 Members Report Posted September 2, 2020 It is lovely indeed. Does it feel heavy in the hand? Quote
Members expatguy Posted September 3, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks YinTx appreciate the comment. Spyros, it feels substantial but not heavy in the hand. It would not be uncomfortable to walk with around a city. I don't like heavy cases as you tend not to want to use them. Quote
Members Wykoni Posted September 4, 2020 Members Report Posted September 4, 2020 Weight was my question as I have built several cases and if not careful they are heavy. Pretty work, what is the color of the dye you used and outside weight of the leather. It looks machine sewed, if not excellent work, and if so excellent work. Quote

Hi Wykoni, the weight of the leather is 5oz it is pre dyed in tan color, all the stitching is by hand. I don't own a machine. You had me curious about the total weight so I weighed the bag on our digital kitchen scales and it weighs 3lb 4oz with the name tag and key holder but without the shoulder strap. With the shoulder strap it weighs 3lb 9oz. Quote
Members scrapyarddog Posted September 10, 2020 Members Report Posted September 10, 2020 A very solid piece, every detail. I can make the same thing but not sure my work looks this crisp and proper. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted September 11, 2020 Members Report Posted September 11, 2020 Beautiful briefcase. Thankyou for also showing the inside. Did you design the pattern or did you purchase one? Quote
Members expatguy Posted September 12, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2020 Hi Scoutmom, the base pattern is from craftsmangus who is based in Thailand, he can be found on ETSY. I modified it a fair bit and the hey holder and address label are my own patterns. Quote
Members YinTx Posted September 12, 2020 Members Report Posted September 12, 2020 Ok, wait, I just noticed the coffee cup! That is fantastic!! The bag is still awesome too!
