In this video above I show a quick snippet of a few parts of the assembly process.<\/p>\n<h2>Why My Leather Bags are Unique<\/h2>\n<p>You will notice in the video above that I do not stitch the seams on this bag. In fact there aren&#8217;t any stitches in sight. Early on in my leather working career (going on 10 years now), I decided to create leather goods using a very unique and durable method not offered by other makers. Instead of stitching the seams, I rivet them in places with solid brass rivets. Solid brass is not known to fray like stitching. In fact solid brass rivets are so durable, that if I make a mistake and have to take one out &#8211; it can take several minutes of cutting and prying them loose. This is all to say that when you purchase a leather bag from my shop &#8211; it should hold together for the entirety of its lifetime. That&#8217;s not something a typical stitched bag can necessarily claim.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225.jpg\" alt=\"carrying mens leather work bag\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mens-leather-bag-work-briefcase_241EX_0225-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the riveting, this leather bag as well as all of the others in my bag line are cut in a very unique way. The main body of the bag is actually one long continuous piece of leather. This is a bit taboo in the world of bag making for one reason only &#8211; it is just too costly for the manufacturer to pull off. It is very difficult to find a long piece of leather without any imperfections, but by using the highest grade of U.S. Full Grain leather &#8211; it can be much easier for me. By making the bag with the main body being one long continuous piece of leather &#8211; this allows for less seams which technically are the weakest point on a bag or any leather goods. Good quality leather is extremely strong, so the more of it you can have in one continuous piece &#8211; the better.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Does it Take to Make a Bag?<\/h2>\n<p>The timing can vary piece to piece, but typically one full day of work is required to make a bag of this size. When you place an order I usually spread out all of the steps over a few days in order to fit it in to my making schedule during the week. Typically I can have a bag ready to ship one week after you place the order&#8230;not bad for a made to order purchase!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leather Work Bag is the smallest in my line of leather bags in the shop.
