ZeeBee Leather

Exactly. I saw a friend's old Filson briefcase and I fell in love with the leather. It was stunning. Not the case when I received mine in the mail. It's such a shame when that happens. Let me know if you ever want a legit leather briefcase

You got it brother! I am currently using a hand made 1960's repro I bought from Tanners Alley in West Virginia, but will probably be in contact with you next year when I pay off next summer's vacation.

I got a massive order yesterday from Horween; 40+ lbs of leather in a giant box.

Since I used the entire side of Rio Latigo for my briefcase (and then some), I needed to restock my supply. So, I got more Rio and a stunning dark brown Latigo as well. I received a couple of interesting colors that I've never really seen before. Chestnut and Cognac in "Dublin" which is the waxed version of the "Essex" leather. It's fantastic looking and feels incredible.

I'm also very well restocked on Natural Chromexcel Single Horse Fronts which has been the most popular color for wallets this past year for me. It's proving to be an extremely versatile color to work with, and my personal wallet is aging splendidly (I'll get some pics up later).

Some things I got just for fun are Color 8 Shell Cordovan and Black Shell Cordovan for wallets and other small items, and a 9/10oz (THICK) Natural Chromexcel which will be great for belts!

Here's all of my new leather:

And here's the Chestnut Dublin (which is dying to be made into a duffel, a dopp kit, or something similar):

You lie @seawolf  ! Where is the thread? Haha

Nice pic, jealous. Is that tool by your hammer your burnishing tool?

[seawolf]

Ha! @Jordonf9  Where's the leather?! haha

The tool by the hammer is a 1lb mallet with a poly head made by Barry King.

Here's a custom knife case I made as a going away gift for someone at work. We got the knife and had it engraved. So badass!! I want one! It has a built-in challenge coin case

Beautiful knife case … I like the gravure on the blade
