The Gentleman Explorer Leather Briefcase - Pattern Download and Video Tutorial

[@p4our587]

Seriously… I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm sure that there are "those" that get confused, because… People. … but I wonder how it's possible since you are very thorough. You're a great instructor… and I really appreciate the time & effort that you put into these tutorials. I'm more than sure that you enjoy making them & that translates well as far as I can see. Thank you for letting us benefit from your passions!

[@dungeondesigns104]

This is a great pattern to build. Fun and easy to put together. I left the front pocket divider unglued - it makes a great pen holder.

[@aprylirwin2784]

Beautiful pattern, as always. With the pattern and the easy to follow video instructions, I made this beautiful bag with no problems. Directions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you, Tony! My leather craft would not look this impressive if it weren’t for your instructions and beautiful patterns. I love your content. Please keep it coming 😊

[@DieselpunkRo]

You are welcome 😊, thank you for using my patterns

[@JoFrostleatherwork]

Tony has hit another great pattern out of the park!!!!!

[@steveahern5833]

Great Tutorial and a dam good looking bag ....can't wait to make couple these . Sure would be nice to do leather working full time.....Working 70 hours week really takes my creatively time ....Thanks again Tony & Diana....

[@dmitrondir]

Thank You very much, Tony!! This is my first bag, i did it for 24 hours. Thanks for pattern!! So disign is really HOT!! :D This is great job, most understandable even for a beginner! in future i wanna repeate more your patterns in live.

[@Rattletrap-xs8il]

I love the design. I just got several patterns from you. Can't wait to get to work.

[@robbiewatson8942]

Love the D brand on the leather for the back pocket!!

[@JPowell-44]

I just started my bag. Got all the pieces cut out. It looks great so far. I did not heed. Tony’s recommendation to skive the front pouch and the front gusset. I sewed it all together and quickly realized I needed to cut it back apart and skive the edges. That’s where I find myself now. Every project I do is an awesome learning experience.

[@tassiespirit]

Well Tony, you have now challenge me to do something for myself that I will want to keep and not make for someone else. This one is mine for sure, awesome.

[@dreamwarriors979]

Your very best patten for men-bags so far❣️ Congratulations & special thx, I really LOVE the bag only what I change is the buckles , I use conches whit snaps 🥰😉 …soooo dope soooo cool ❣️

[@DieselpunkRo]

Thank you so much!

[@likagalimova324]

Тони красавчик! Смотрю твой канал уже три года. Многому научилась. Твой контент🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤

[@ЮлияБрязгина]

У вас шикарные работы . Спасибо!

[@DouglassLeatherworks]

As soon as I seen this bag. I knew I had to make it.

[@westleycary5557]

That is ridiculously fantastic. I have been with you for years and this is the best messenger bag (or any for that matter) to date! Bra-Vo! 👏

[@bradwasson6708]

Where is the link to the shoulder strap video?

[@rodneylandrum9277]

What sizes stitching punches do you use? I just got this pattern and cant wait for the leather to make it to arrive

[@lucimunteanu2000]

very nice job sir!

[@kevinfirmin9528]

It looks like you incorporated a brand in on that back pocket. Love incorporating brands!

[@DieselpunkRo]

I did yes.

[@damaslan2246]

Tony might sound high and all banged up when he talks but when it comes to work leather he is sharp. Love this guy

[@tgarry100]

What leather did you use? Supplier and weight please. This is the pattern I've been looking for and the leather used is perfect. Thanks

[@amberruby4135]

Hi Tony, Greetings from Sunny Cape Town! Thank you, cant wait to make this ;-)

[@johanvh35]

Thank you for a great pattern. I do however have 2 problems with the patter. I chose the wider bag. And I see no instructions on the pattern on where the two side straps Sam brown buttons go on the main front panel. Also I note that the video for the shoulder strap is no longer available?

[@offroadskater]

I really like this pattern. Even though Tony said my Laptop is unfashionably large, I happen to have no other. So, (Robot voice) : "Must have nice bag", is the only reason to make it.

[@davidrenn6897]

Fantastic design Tony! A really usable gents bag!

[@timormsby1722]

Is there a reason why you prefer round stitching chisels over diamond ones?

[@ZaiyaFineArt]

im going to adjust this a tad bit but thank you soooo mch.

[@arveruud6803]

What is the spesification of that needel you use?

[@arveruud6803]

And. What zeece of the tread. Fantastic, project.

[@ToriJonesLeatherwork]

Very Awesome pattern Tony. I love this one and think I have the perfect leather for this pattern.

[@gggrgf2088]

I did it! About 30hours, maybe more 🤭 i dont know exacly.

[@Viking_Kong]

Great looking bag, Tony! Thanks for the pattern!

[@ruslanzin1773]

Отличная модель, великолепная работа.

[@tomb6576]

Does the hardware also include the loop straps on the front buckles? The link is broken so I'm sourcing my own hardware. I'm assuming they are unlisted and the rectangular rings are used on the handle instead

[@armagandayoglu4926]

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. I have already bought the pattern. In the 36th minute of your tutorial, you show the shoulder strap and say that you will put the link of the strap video in the description. But I cannot find the link of the strap video. Would you please send the link? Thanks in advance. Armagan

[@James-ti3vl]

That is a really cool hat :)

[@carolehack226]

Super informative video, thank you, could this bag be made on a machine?

[@DieselpunkRo]

Parts of it yes but you still need to habd stitch certain things

[@carolehack226]

If I buy the pattern, would you be able to tell mr which parts they are?

[@ObelixCMM]

Tony, can we get full size pattern? I like to print them full size on heavy paper

[@KostasVrass]

I need this bag in my life... ❤️❤️ I wonder if it could be stitched inside out and then turned so the front and the back panel would have a similar stitching, or would there be a problem when attaching the lid afterwards?

[@DieselpunkRo]

Only if you attach the front pocket after

[@eskallagrimsson]

I used 7 ounce leather and was cursing a bit sewing that handle. Broke a needle and cried a few tears 😢 It fought me every stitch, lol.

[@TriAtelierDesignStudio]

Hoping get to your level some day.

[@jonnybkuehl878]

Beautiful bag!!

[@elmoshas685]

Hi! Love this bag. Where do you buy your leather?

[@JPowell-44]

I just purchased this pattern. Where can I get the multi prong stitching hole punch like you have in the video?

[@elizabethmorton3998]

Im also looking for the specs of the multi prong hole punch. Thanks!

[@JPowell-44]

@@elizabethmorton3998 tony told me the prongs are 6mm apart and the holes are 1.5mm. hope this helps.

[@TheMarlene0707]

Vary nice and I like the fact you go slow on the video

[@LarrySmith1437]

Which tool was that edge-painter you used on that first piece? The one with the rotating brass head? I'd rather use that, than Fiebings foam applicator.

[@mandielyons]

Amazon has a Butuze leather edge roller applicator that looks just like what he used.

[@roaleatherworks3961]

What a wonderful design, Tony! 😃👍

[@robbiewatson8942]

I am building a bag for a carry on to put under seat on a flight this looks like it will fit. Do you know the dimensions for the large version?

[@josephjames4302]

Hey Tony, First of all, thank you for the education and all the inspiring designs. I also love your teaching style. You make learning about leather crafting so much fun. Now, the reason I’m messaging you is because I’d like to get a few makers mark stamps made. Please let me know what to do to get started with the process. I look forward to working with you. God bless you and yours, and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄

[@zvergob8289]

Hello. What is the name of the thread burner?

[@peterbourgeois8492]

Curious about what leather you used and how many square feet approximately. Beautiful bag.

[@azhra87]

Wondering the same. Id hate to want to try this with the leather I have and not have enough lol

[@peterbourgeois8492]

It’s approx 10 square ft. I going it at the dieselpunk site.

[@ThaiPrayBoy]

Very good video and patterns as always. Love your works.

[@dreamwarriors979]

He guys, if you use clips for holding leather together, put leather on the clips & NO MORE Markes on the leather anymore!!! Have fun ❣️

[@azhra87]

What are those pins you're using to hold the pieces together? They look really nice

[@stpatty3310]

There are lots of them for sale on Amazon. Most of them are made pretty poorly, but the idea is still sound!

[@scottmorrison8579]

They ARE very handy....they were a big help when I was building my jacket...

[@scottmorrison8579]

[@Equus004]

Would someone please instruct me.. I purchased the pattern but it shows the Sam Brown buttons and not the buckles?? I’m not sure what to do😊 Thank you

[@markolson7877]

Hi Tony, ...another great bag!!! What are the dimensions?? Thank you!

[@oharu700]

What are the measurements of the briefcase? Is it suitable for A4 ? Thank you for video

[@DieselpunkRo]

Please check the link in the description

[@oharu700]

Sorry but can not find the measurements off finished briefcase , it should fit A4 maps.

[@oharu700]

Ok thanks found it on the photos 👍

[@oharu700]

Going to order it now 👍

[@DieselpunkRo]

Thank you

[@777mennis]

Hey Tony, I am definitely gonna build this bag. I was wondering if the smaller one is big enough to hold a file folders?

[@vickiscott-degraff5273]

Love this project, but where can I get the leather? It's gorgeous

[@tazo1jd]

what is your hole spacing in mm

[@DieselpunkRo]

6 mm for the most part

[@cboyles]

Hi Tony! I'm making this bag and am having trouble with the front pocket stitching. I sewed the front pocket and the front pocket gusset together on the rough sides after skiving the edges a bit (I'm not very good at skiving yet, but I thinned the leather some). When I turn the pocket inside out, the thread in the stitching shows and it isn't a good look. I took it apart and tried again, and got the same result. Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

[@anaphylaxis2548]

I'm in the process of making one now. I punched about 20 holes today. 🤣

[@johnnyc.5979]

Finally a bag that doesn't look like a purse that I would actually carry.

[@michaelgovea8299]

What kind of leather is that?

[@alandrewgibson]

Nice one!

[@АндрейВладимирович-в7х]

Good job, maestro! I can buy pattern if i live in Russia?

[@shaheenshaikh9881]

Beautiful bag please give me this beautiful leather briefcase

[@brad8451]

Hey Tony, awesome bag very nice. I see you use screw together clamps when holding the leather for stitching, do you sell these or link to Amazon? Ok cheers

[@DieselpunkRo]

Link in the video description Brad. Thank you for watching

[@brad8451]

Cheers, I didn't scroll down enough, many thxs and look forward to your next video!!

[@NagelHausForge]

Hey Tony got a question for you I've been looking for a Mandalorian helmet and armor pattern in leather but can't find any online, but a KZbinr made a pattern for foam helmet and armor. My question is if i were to adapt it for leather would i need to add .25 in or 5 in around for the sewing holes? Here's the link to the vid and to his foam template pattern. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmPOnmOPjLJ0eaM
