What kind of bag does a guy who makes leather bags carry? Well, here it is . . .
Made from "tan" 5-7 oz. Horween horsehide (really a deep redish brown), with beavertail closure accent. Green 2-3 oz. Horween horsehide interior pen holders and pocket with deer antler button. Horse Shoe Brand stainless steel hardware by Jeremiah Watt.
Five sections of hide are joined together with baseball and running stitches to form the body of the bag. The leather is firm enough to keep it's shape, while remaining supple in its "pull-up" quality to patina nicely. Stitching is made from tan-colored waxed braided cord and brown waxed 3-ply linen thread. Straps are secured by #9 hand-hammered copper rivets and burrs. The adjustable shoulder strap is made up of multiple sections and layers. This not only increases strength and limits stretch, but also contributes to comfort.
Big enough to carry an inch-thick wad of 8 1/2 x 11 papers, plus plenty of business cards, a couple of pens and other miscellaneous items. Keys can be secured by the inside nickel-plated solid brass snap.
