The "Buckhorn" Briefcase was created for a client in our shop based on a bag that I had designed and built years ago. Using the customer's requests and ideas, we came up with a very unique briefcase that is functional and fitting for any agricultural business man.
This Project Video shows you step by step how I built this bag. The leather the bag is made out of is the new Hermann Oak 1880 leather. The leather is a veg tanned chap leather that is specially formulated to be completely water proof. The one I used for this bag is the Chestnut Expedition.
I bought this leather from Maker's Leather Supply. You can contact them here:
