I love your beautiful work, and it's so nice to see your faces this time! Thank you for such well made videos - I have learned a lot from your channel!
Hi Gus and family! Super like your duffel bag, great craftsmanship! I am just wondering you have used chrome tanned leather on this (as mentioned on your website), if I were to use veg tanned leather, would it work for your pattern still? Thank you so much! Keep safe you guys! Looking forward for your next videos🤩
Mastery and Simplicity, what could be better. You have the most magnificent works, some of the best, if not the best, of those that I have seen. My dream is to get closer to your level. Thanks for the experience and inspiration! Good luck! P.S. How many hours did this job take you?
Love this bag! I made this duffel out of 4-5 oz veg tan leather and it was very difficult to turn right side out.The leather was too thick and stiff. The leather at the gusset seam tore along the stitch line. Do you soften the veg tan leather before construction so it is more pliable? Or have other recommendations?
Nice! Do you have a video that shows in more detail what you are doing so someone can learn and follow along? Im not sure how to do the handle part when attaching to the main bag
First time watching, very much appreciated, your knowledge is well respected. I saw on the side you placed a bond/some type of stiffener, what type it was? and where can I purchase it. You should sell those extras that sometimes here in USA we are not able to find. I know in Asia they use many types of stiffeners and foam.
You can find something similar here. bit.ly/2E0qag5 I know its hard to find materials like these.(I'm sure there are some supplier for manufacturing business). In Asia there're lots of small makers. Like in Thailand where I live there are leather streets where sell bags supplies. HongKong, Japan, Korea .... lots of supplier. If someone import to USA should be great.
I still works on bag. Please see my Instagram. I raise my little daughter for 4 yrs and right now I'm in process of moving and construction a new workshop space in the new city. Hopefully by early of 2025 will be back to fully operate.
Thank you for the video. I’ve purchased several patterns from you, and it has helped me tremendously. Could you show a video on how to tape the patterns together? I’m afraid I originally made the large piece too big. What are the dimensions before the finished piece? Thank you so much!
craftsmangus Hello! Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I’m afraid the link doesn’t work. Nothing shows up. Where can I find the tiling video? Thank you so, so much.
Yes, you can scale up but you just to keep some proportions. Let's say you plan to print 150%, all the things will be blow up. Some parts will be too large like a handle or binding pipe. for example: If you do blow upscale method, the width of the binding pipe have to keep the same the length you can leave as 150% blow. The zipper is still the same width so you need to add the pattern area. And also other parts needed.
Can you please give the details of all the tools used from start to finish? I am trying to find the tool you used to score the handles prior to putting in the stitching holes. I also would like to know what the silver tool is that you spread like a map chart tool? Thank you!
Hi Julie. As in video, its glue only. In video I demonstrate the glue method, if the glue quality is good enough it can stay and use well. As mainly I made leather bag pattern for sell, most of my customer work with hand stitching, for this detail its quite heavy works to hand stitch. Normally this details need industrial sewing machine (post bed or cylinder bed with binding feeder) which is quite not typical equipments to have in home. If have this machine, its better to stitch.... also it's ok for hand stitch with hard work. I've seen nowadays there are lots of very good glue. But just have to worry about the environmental working toxic. The one I use is typical contact adhesive.
Hi Jacob. For purchasing, I made only leather bag pattern for sell and TH-cam videos tutorials. Now I'm not making any leather goods for sell or any custom bags. May be in the future plan when everything is ready. Thank you that you like. :)
for gusset is about 9" x 12" times 2 and main body is about 3' x 1' 1/2'. I use about half of hale cut hide include waste space should be around 15 sq.ft
It's the actual plastic cord (it is easy to find here in Bangkok). But if hardly find in your area, you can also use rubber tube for fishtank oxygen (2mm.) or round leather cord as well. Also you can use without cord, just use the fold leather as well.
For scale down , you can scale by the percentage of printing option. But it needs to keep some proportion to be the same by adding some manual adjustment. Due to some fixed size accessories, proportion and human scale. For example. - Piping: when you scale down, the length of it is all change but you need to maintain the width to be the same. - The length of the main piece. The zipper is still the same size width but the overall length has been adjusted. So when attached the zipper, the length of the main body and the gusset will not match, the gap of zipper will be too small. I recommend to use the black clipper help check by start clipping from the middle to the top and see how large you need to cut the piece off. - Handle: when scale down you need to concern about the ring accessory too (in this drawing I use 2cm. ring for handle). And also please make sure that the handle is suitable for hand. Just normally the length of the handle in drawing is standard. - Main body wrap around reinforcement strap (the one that hold the d-ring for handle), the width must be according to the handle and d-ring too. I hope you can apply for the other points from my example of explanation.
@@craftsmangus Thanks! Also the Texon used in the vid isnt shown in the required materials in the PDF I purchased. Is it required, can I uses something else in its place, or where can I purchase the strips that you use? Thanks!
@@matthewstrollo6199 The US version is called Bontex and you buy it in a sheet and cut down: www.springfieldleather.com/Bontex-Bag-Stiffener?gclid=CjwKCAiAyc2BBhAaEiwA44-wW2oUyfE-b8oZHJkNPdA6jGnc1xRK15mVkOZBKdJeksu6T4_EzjT2ARoCOKoQAvD_BwE
Hi Aiden. I didn't make the longer version yet. I think if would like to elongated this duffel without changing other proportions you can extend the size just only the width without interrupt other piece. But it might need more of bottom support. (And if like to have not too loose bag, the stiff lining will a bit help.
@@craftsmangus Thank you, I really like the look of it, it's just a bit small for me. I've already started on prototyping out a longer version from cheap leather and found that using a 12 ounce vegetable leather on the bottom to form a sort of sole was enough to hold its shape and help protect the would be chromium leather body. Also widening it by two two inches makes sure that it still looks good, to proportion and adds a bit more space making it into more of a weekender bag. This might be different for you because it's more of an opinion thing.
Please mention via email, my wife will manage the documents things. I’m so sorry, normally now I’m not quite in see the notifications via social media network.
This is one of the most beautiful bags I have ever seen I would love to be able to make this kind of bag I love the natural veg tan color
I’m finishing up. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, though I did have some issues with the pattern.
Just fabulous! Gorgeous bag and true craftsmanship!
Gosh darn you! You guys make it look so easy. Beautiful bag. I bought the pattern, just trying to work up the nerve to start.
You can break the processes into more than 3 dozen steps and keep collecting the mini-successes. The bag will be well finished.
@@craftsmangus thanks for the advice. Step-by-step, huh? Got it!🙏🏿👍🏿
I bought this pattern and turned out great thank you!
I CANNOT WAIT TO TRY AND MAKE ONE!!!! It’s awesome!
me too :D
It is always satisfying to watch a true master at work!!
Fantastic, as always. Your work is simple and elegant.
I'm going to make this once I refine my skills but make some changes.
Add side pocket to end of bag.
Add feet to the bottom.
Maybe add a insert for the bottom to keep the shape.
Mines gunna be either black saffiano caviar or Epsom exterior with a red merino wool lining interior. MAYBE red piping to match interior but undecided and of course gold hardware with raccagni zippers.
Extremely excited to make this happen!

Can you make and sell a template for a 55 ? Great work
Very nice! Thank you for sharing this!
Did you make the pattern yourself? I am a beginer and it is hard to draw my own pattern.
OMG ! i stopped the video right after it started, to write a comment. this is a masterpiece!!!!
Isnt 1.2mm too thin for a duffle bag? I thought it would need at least a 2mm leather. Can I hear your thoughts?
Мангус поправился прям ))

They used 3 ounces, maybe that's why
That's beautiful.

Can you buy this and get it on mobile device? Thanks.
What a beautiful project ! I’m a huge fan of your templates ! Where disk you get that clamp you’re using to stitch the handles ?
That clamp was self mod from scrap teak wood.
You can use wall mold (I don't know how to call in English. It's a trim between floor n wall.)
Do you think one could sew this style pattern with a flat bed machine?? Very nice work!
If use thin and flexible leather, probably possible.
Thank You :)
does anyone know where to get the piping material? cant find it anywhere on amazon
Will you have a sunglasses case? Thank you!

This is great work. May I ask how you got your start in the craft.?
Oh its about 8 years already.
As an architect and film crews I'd like to make things by myself. This is the most I like.
Good job!
Where was the zipper and the zipper pull purchased from? I would like to have a luxury zipper pull and not anything cheap.
I think Riri is actually good enough, or may be you can seek for Lampo or Raccagni.
Some other brands I'm so sorry I can not remember.
man you devise more followers
Nice ^^
Do you think its possible to scale up the pattern to get a bigger bag?
Yes, you can scale up but you just to keep some proportions.
Let's say you plan to print 150%, all the things will be blow up. Some parts will be too large like a handle or binding pipe.
for example: If you do blow upscale method, the width of the binding pipe have to keep the same the length you can leave as 150% blow. The zipper is still the same width so you need to add the pattern area. And also other parts needed.
When you bind the edges, don’t you just glue it on?
What fabric did you use for the lining?
did the glue bleed through the cotton fabric? I am worried the glue will change the color of the cotton fabric liner.
It's depend on how much you apply the glue, just thin and light is enough for help it stick, then stitch.
Can you please give the details of all the tools used from start to finish? I am trying to find the tool you used to score the handles prior to putting in the stitching holes. I also would like to know what the silver tool is that you spread like a map chart tool? Thank you!
Hi. I guess you mean the "divider" that use to draw line.
But silver tools I'm not sure which one. Can you help point min as a min : sec please.
Thank you so much for making this video! I hope I can make such an amazing item one day. What thickness of leather is used for the main compartments?
Its in the description

Yes you can visit my workshop.
You can let me know the date :)
@@craftsmangus Yes, I will do:) Your work is awesome! I need to visit the shops on that famous leather street too. There's so much in BKK!
please tell me
which piping materials are you used
I use solid plastic piping (not sure about the technical name), flexible but steady rope is also can.
So the trim to cover the inside seams is only glued in place?
Hi Julie.
As in video, its glue only.
In video I demonstrate the glue method, if the glue quality is good enough it can stay and use well.

What thickness is the leather for the piping? I'm about to finish making this and mine is 1.8mm thick which is way too thick.
For piping you need leather that thinned down or skived in to 0.4-0.5 mm. wrap over 2.0 mm. plastic pipe cord.

Where did you get the piping? I can't seem to find a good source myself!
I bought from local leather street of Bangkok.
But I think here is good one.

@@craftsmangus Thank You so much! I greatly appreciate it!
Can you tell me more about glue and equipment you used?
It's Grafted Polychloroprene Adhesive local brand here in THAILAND name "Bond-Tech No. BT-430" .
For tools, can you specific more?
craftsmangus that was already pretty helpful. What kind of rope and metal wire was it ?
Why not to put a fabric double bottom ?
AAAAAH LOVE IT!
Beautiful 😍
Wonderful bag.
What thickness is the rope used for the handles? Thank you
The rope is about 8mm. - 1 cm.
Where do you get your tools?
Omg... Finally.. !!!!!!!
Roughly how much square-footage of leather was used to make this bag?
for gusset is about 9" x 12" times 2 and main body is about 3' x 1' 1/2'.
I use about half of hale cut hide include waste space should be around 15 sq.ft
What is the material for piping inside
I use flexible plastic line, but can use other materials eg; rounded leather string or super small line saline or oxygen tube as well.
Thank you man!
what did you use for the piping plastic cord???
It's the actual plastic cord (it is easy to find here in Bangkok).
But if hardly find in your area, you can also use rubber tube for fishtank oxygen (2mm.) or round leather cord as well.
