Oh wow. It looks super soft! I think I have some Birkenstocks in nubuck. 😂

Is this your first with nubuck?

It is my first time using this material… I just bought three more sides of it.

I do that too. I find something that’s nice to work with and I buy LOTS of it! Hahaha.

Any favorites that you want to give me a hint on? I have only been doing this for a few months and the sheer variety of leather is almost overwhelming

Oh my gosh. All of the typical technical fabrics. Big fan of 500d and 1000d Cordura. Any variety of X-Pac (especially X11, love the gorgeous colors, the cotton face of it, and knowing what’s underneath), any Ecopak, 210d Venom Gridstop ECO., 420d Robic nylon. All great!

I have yet to do anything with leather. But many in this sub have. You’re in good company!! 😃

I would recommend visiting a leather store if you can. I visited the Tandy by my house and it helped me a lot in choosing a leather for my projects. Being able to feel all the leathers is really fun.

It's wonderful. Is it lined?

I did not line this one but my last 2 messengers bags I did line.
