Hi there, sounds like a big project, but there are some talented leather workers on this forum, so have a browse around, i can recommend Topknot of this forum, as i've got a fair bit of his work.

Angst , luckylee, topknot, dreadhead - all good with a cows coat.

Hmm a briefcase is a bit of a departure from what we normally make..... depends if you mean document case style or the full, woodcore/frame covered in leather. Cant see that it would be financially viable in the latter case... but yeah the guys listed above might want to take it on, not me though i only do it as a hobby, prefer teaching it

You could have a look on http://leatherworker.net. There's a directory of makers. Primarily a US site, but there are some British folk on there.

There are folk doing this for the high end Mayfair market at a price but if you want one made specially for you try Ruth Pullen. http://www.galleryred.co.uk/
