YOU WILL NEED
***
Leather
You will need approximately 0.2m of thick yet supple leather for the front and back of the bag (1.2mm to 1.6mm thickness / 3 to 4 oz is perfect).
You will also need 2 lengths of similar thickness leather for the straps and weaving pieces (about 1.3m by 4cm / 52” by 2”).
The thickness and how supple or rigid the leather is will greatly impact the final form of your bag.
Hardware
1 x buckle measuring 1.5cm/0.6” wide
1 x Sam Browne fitting
5 (plus extra for practising) x 6mm / 0.2” double capped rivets (the length of the rivets will depend on the thickness of your leather - test out on scrap leather to ensure a snug fit).
Tools
THESE ITEMS ARE ESSENTIAL
1 x sharp craft knife, stanley knife or scalpel. Fresh blades will make cutting the leather much easier.
1 x leather workers awl
1 x metal ruler
1 x 14mm/0.55” oblong hole punch
1 x 2mm/0.07” round hole punch
1 x 5mm/0.2” round hole punch
1 x rivet setting tool that fits the cap of your rivets
1 x hammer/mallet
