What's your guys opinion on the harness belting leather vs the tumbled leather on the Clegg briefcases? Thinking either chocolate or chestnut colour.
Harness is harder. Tumbled is softer.
I recommend you call Frank and talk to him. That is what I did. He put me on to the chocolate shrunken. I did not want something that would waterspot in the rain and the shrunken nailed that requirement. I have the double gusset zip top and it does the job. It might be tight with a 15” computer. I would not want it smaller particularly with the chargers we all carry. The triple gusset is tempting but feels too bulky to me.
You might also look at the new grained goat leather. I have a toilet kit out of this leather and I am tempted to do a larger bag with it. Have you looked at the Frank Clegg Leatherworks folio on Instagram? Check that out and then ask Frank. Or Ian if you can’t get Frank.
You might also speak to a retailer. Bauman’s in Little Rock has several pieces in stock. They are great guys and will be glad to help.
Good luck.
