Leather 60% Case
« on: Wed, 16 September 2015, 15:55:42 »
Wanted a case for my Poker 2... as I usually lug it to and from work. I've been working with leather for a while now, so I decided to make it from that.



I'm pretty happy with it. If I had to do it again, I think I'd make it just a bit smaller for a snugger fit and maybe just 1 loop for the strap instead of 2.
Here is an album with additional images: http://imgur.com/a/uVXJB#0

What do you guys think?

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

I'd considered doing a few more of these and making them available for purchase, but I don't know. Leather isn't cheap nowadays. With material cost + the time to hand stitch everything, I'd probably have to charge somewhere in the $60 - $90 range. Depends on the leather type...most likely Horween Chromexcel or Essex. I made this one with Horween Natural Essex.
