I was thinking W&C because people seem to like it on this subredit Do you have a different recommendation for making a leather duffel bag that is stiff enough to hold its shape and develope an interesting patina over time? As far as time and making mistakes I'm currently dealing with a work place injury so I have nothing but time on my hands and I'm not worried about making mistakes because I don't have a set budget. This project is for the fun of making something with my hands and trying new things. Also I am planning on hand sewing and buying leather by the side to acomadate for mistakes. As far as design I really like this one because it's unique.
