How did you talk them into donating?
I love my Carharrt jackets and shirts. I think these are very cool.
Makes me want a black leather one with this label:
And of course the appropriate hardware to go with it.
Or maybe this one:

I got invited to a after hours open house at the new Carhartt store in Detroit. Carhartt world head quarters is a few miles away in Dearborn.
My intentions were to buy something like their blanket, just to get the material to make a case. A gentleman came up to me and struck up a conversation. I told him of my intentions. He said "you don't have to do that, we'll give you the material". Maybe a week later I had the material and a handful of logos sent to me. I'm sold on Carhartt ever since I bought my first one, some 30 years ago.
Oh and I had to promise to send them pictures of the final product.
I think I need to investigate into having one of these made if I can get the material. This would fit me perfectly.
I have 20lbs of Langlitz leather scrap leather. It would be a patchwork case, but I've got enough if your interested.

I actually like harvesting leather from old jackets, boots, clothing, furniture etc.... Got a cool one coming up from an old leather bomber jacket that I bought at Goodwill. I love it when we can use the logos and cool features from the item to make a truly unique case.
