If you have some design sketches, please pass those along too if you don't mind.
Hey Mac, this is a photo from my profile and if you "click" on my profile you can find lots more and even what nots on weather proofing and what have you. This is a photo of the back of one of my bags (WoW, I say of allot) and I would love to help you, ron.
LASTLY, is the leather riveted to the canvas or did you stitch it as well? If you did Rivet it, is there leather on the inside of the bag as well to give it more strength?
Sorry for allthe questions...but I am really curious.
Cheers
