I’m 3/4 through making a new postal bag. Overall I think I nailed the first design well.
The minor changes in this one are:
- Silver hardware (not sterling silver), D-rings are stainless steel, buckle and clips are nickel plated base metal (I need to find a source for stainless versions of these).
- I’m making it without copper rivets. As much as I love the look of the rivets, they are just waiting to scratch the door of your Aston Martin DB6.
- I’ve also made the tongue longer with more holes and room to tighten. I found that as the original bag softened I was able to tighten the strap further, but my original design left no room for that.
Anyway, I should have it finished within a couple of weeks, and I’ll take more pictures and put a price on it through PayPal. If there is interest, I’ll get cracking on another one.
