    I’ve been a leather crafter for over 25 years. If it says anything but “full-grain” or “top-grain” leather, chances are that it’s fake. “PU leather” and “Vegan leather” - not to be confused with veg-tan - are vinyl. “Genuine leather” is made from leather dust mixed with glue, rolled flat, and a vinyl top layer applied (it is literally trash). Many cheap leather goods from the Middle East and Asia are made with goat leather. Typically - even though it is actual leather - the quality is poor, the leather is really thin, and it often smells terrible due to the way it’s tanned. In short, quality leather is more costly so if it looks like a screaming deal, chances are high that it’s not worth buying.

    I forgot to add I adore the 45 fabrics cloth cases. Have wanted one for some time now, just haven't pulled the trigger. Your cigar boxes are amazing! What a special skill to magically convert a special vintage item into a useful addition to your collection. I'm also pining for the Easterbrook cloth pen cup or pen roll. Love their stuff...

    • @Doodlebud
      @Doodlebud  Před rokem +1

      I have a few more ideas for the cigar boxes buts it's all about time. To do some really cool stuff requires detailed work, nice finishing, dry time waiting, etc. Unfortunately with a 4 & 6 yr old and running my own business I just don't have the time to do some really cool stuff. So this method for the cigar boxes seemed to be a good balance of outcome to build time.

    I always appreciate your honest reviews of pens and this was perfect timing because I just purchased my fourth fountain pen (I’m hooked) and have been looking at cases. Those Esterbrook cases look great. I hadn’t thought of a soft case but now you have me thinking. I do woodworking and these remind me of the rolls I use for my bench chisels. I like the idea of using cigar boxes too.

    Hello, Doodlebud! Great spread of cases. And I really like the cigar boxes.o remind back when the Dollar stores came into being many, many, moons ago, I found a brand new unused cardboard cigar box. It was simple, not as majestic as the ones you have here. But it was pretty nice still. I used it to hold my pens back in the day. My drawing pencils and calligraphy nibs and stylus that I used to draw with were a great fit with room to spare in that box. I should still have it somewhere but things get misplaced or lost in moves some how. So I haven’t seen it in a long time unfortunately.
    Now I have a few nice cases. I love my Galen Leather cases a lot. I now have 2 -Old School Leather Molded Pen Cases for 5 pens. One is Crazy Horse leather brown and my newest in black with white stitching. I also bought along with the black one, the Leather Magnum Opus 6 Slot Pen case with removable tray in black. That is the one that looks like your blue magnetic case. This is also magnetically closed. The Old School 5 Pen Cases have a metal closers. I have a few DeLoro Leather Triple pen cases.
    I also have a large Galen Leather 40 Pen case and a few more.
    I don’t need all of these cases but I am seriously addicted to buying them. I have more than enough at this point! In fact I should sell some of them. But I haven’t been able to bring myself to do so.
    Thanks for sharing these with us. I enjoyed it. Of course I would. I’m a fountain pen and pen case addict. For realzzzz! 😆
    Take care.
