Quite a while back, one of my customers who happens to be a forum member, contacted me about a custom job. He wanted a truly custom briefcase. He showed me examples of cases he liked. The issue was, he was having trouble finding the exact configuration he wanted. Liking the challenge I said yes.
While everything seemed fairly straight forward, i was in for quite the lesson. This case took me WAAAYYYY longer than I expected. I guess I didn't truly account for learning curve. After several ruined components and the smell of wood burning furiously, every time I thought my way through it, I had a finished product that I am very happy with.
The case shipped out yesterday, via priority mail. With the customers permission, I am posting pictures.
The case is made from Horween #1 horsehide and Chromexel. It is lined in red buffalo calf. It comes with a full newspaper pocket on the back, three main compartments(one with pockets for a tablet) and a fully gusseted accessory pocket. The accessory pocket can hold a phone, biz cards, pens, eyeglass cases, etc. It also has a sewn in hook for hanging a keychain. There is also strategically placed velcro to accept the mandatory holster that I am working on now
Hope you enjoy,
