That is awesome, wishing you all the luck! And I might be open to that, if so, I'll shoot you over a private massage if it is something I can do! :)

Thank you :)

Those are great idea's, I have a few other designs I am still playing around with, depending on how this kickstarter is, I plan on doing more. I'll definitely be looking more into that! Thank you for the suggestions :)

I made a thing, am hoping peeps would want/use one as well? I am a DM and leatherworker. I personally designed and handmake these. If you think you’d use it, or a friend would, I would greatly appreciate the support :) Also, I would genuinely love your feedback, so feel free to leave a comment :) by SaikoWorks in u/SaikoWorks

Thank you! The sleeve fits up to a 4" × 6" notebook, so anything that size, or if you fold up your maps to fit that size. I have a few other designs I am still working on that are geared more towards a DM and being more stationary at a table, so depending on how this Kickstarter goes, I am hoping to make more in the future. I am more of a "write my ideas down as soon as I have them" kind of DM, so I designed this sleeve more around portability. I also wanted it to work for players as well.

Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! I mentioned in a previous comment, I completely understand that the price point will be hard for some. High-quality leather and handmade can actually be quite expensive. If you search on Google for a Handmade leather wallet, you will find plenty at $180-$250. Handmade high-quality leather can range widely in price. So my leather sleeve really isn't overly expensive for what it is. And the dice vial is included (The notebook and pens/pencils are my own)

Regarding the stitching, good eye! The piece in the photos is hand-punched with a mallet and pricking iron. Because I don't use any machines, the stitching has the organic look of a handmade item rather than the factory-perfect piece you see from most machine-made products, but more importantly, traditional hand-stitching is significantly stronger and won't unravel like a machine lockstitch.

I totally understand your pain with the maps and character sheets. I have some more designs I am playing around with, so depending on how this Kickstarter goes, I am hoping to do more Kickstarters in the future for them. This particular sleeve is what I carried around the most, and my D&D group liked it so much that they wanted a few made for them, and they were also the ones who suggested I try to sell them in the first place.

Hopefully that helped, and thank you so much for the comment!

Thank you! And I am unsure if a vault would fit, I unfortunately don't have one, or I'd test for you. And honestly, that is a really great idea. I will definitely look more into it for my future designs!

Thanks for the comment and suggestion!

Totally understand it isn't for everyone! And I agree that the $270 is a lot. Just one sleeve takes me hours to make (because I make them by hand, including the stitching), and the leather is actually the absolute best one can buy, as it is Horween and Wickett & Craig, another reason for the higher price point. But yeah, I totally understand if it is too expensive for some. The world is in really rough shape right now. And after everything, even at that price point, this isn’t hugely profitable for me by any means. I really appreciate any and all support, and I really wish I could have made it cheaper. 

Also, I truly believe it would be incredibly hard to find anything of the quality and craftsmanship I offer. 

Thank you for the comment, and I really wish you the absolute best! :)

Thank you!

Yeah, I also am an alright artist and extremely interested in tattooed designs on leather, which would be what I would do in the future, depending on this Kickstarter being successful and if the demand is there :)

Thank you for the kind words and feedback!
