Appreciate the form responses so far, really helps us have an idea what to offer. TKL size is more popular than I expected!

Just an update I'm working on getting a black leather TKL proto done, since there was so much interest in that. Wanting to get that in hand before we do the buy!

1) What grade will the leather be?
2) I understand it says 60% keebs, but would that option be able to hold a 65?

It's a leather usually used for upholstery that is a little bit more flexible so that it can be padded + lined.

The 60% bag should fit a 65% - it's about 13 inches or 330mm internal size. I only have have a magiforce 68 to test with, but it fit that.

Please fill out the IC form (https://forms.gle/GcaYB32h37uMBwK58) (updated with new sample colors)

Update: Got a couple more samples of leather we can offer. The black is really nice, soft to the touch, and a red one. Unfortunately I'm still waiting on the TKL prototype, so sorry about the delay on getting this buy going.

TKL Sleeve Prototype: https://imgur.com/a/F3Lo86j

Planning to launch the GB on Monday, February 15. The buy will be open until the end of February. Orders will be via Google Form, and at the end of the buy period you will be invoiced to check out through shopify on CarolinaMech.com.

This new prototype design has 2 buttons instead of a magnet latch, so the 60% version will match that. This is a bit sturdier.

Plan is to offer Black, Brown, and Camo colors. Each color has a MOQ of 8 units.
