This is one of the favorite satchels that I've made so far. I designed a vertical satchel to fit a 13-inch MacBook Pro out of another reclaimed leather coat. I was able to incorporate much of the coat's character into the satchel design. Initially, I was not too thrilled about this project when my youth pastor commissioned me to make it for him. But as I built it, I became more and more pleased with the result.
used the original button and button hole for the flap clasp
turned the original coat pocket into a front pocket // made a removable cuff to secure the belt below the buckle
put the other coat pocket on the back for easy access while carrying
two inside pockets
sewed two small 'D' rings on the inside for latching keychains and carabiners
