Leather Selection Suggestions

In this video we used 3/4oz natural vegetable tanned leather sourced from LeatherPlan.com. This design is best suited for leathers with thickness in the 2 to 4oz range. Leathers with a softer feel will allow the Passport Case to close easier without breaking in. For a really polished look I would suggest making this out of a finished vegetable tanned leather like a Horween Dublin or Buttero.
