Also, the retail are single layer leather and the interior snap is exposed, making me nervous for popping my good coins into.
So, as I have piles of high quality veg tanned leather laying around I started whipping up some prototypes to see how different leathers performed, made a half dozen single layer and then a half dozen inner lined ones (currently I am only making ones with inner lining to protect the coins, and because it looks spiffy)
I made a bakers dozen prototypes thus far of varying levels of finish quality and stiffness thus far
In the end found a combo in the blue one in the forefront using goat exterior and a nice soft interior, ordered some more leather which will be here shortly:
Will surely end up with a bunch more than I can use so PM me if you own the Pocket Portal and would like a free upgrade
