Default Looking for old-style leather flight case

Heya folks,
I'm thinking of going back to the old-style brain bag. Every soft-shelled pilot case I've used and seen has front pockets, which (it turns out) are annoyingly difficult to access in the 737 due to the rather narrow clearance between the seat and the wall. I think I want to try a big, deep box so I can partition half of it for a food section and the other half for my flight kit. Anyone want to get rid of an old but serviable high-quality leather flight case? Like a Scott or Coyote Works? The interwebs have been fruitless on the quest.
Many thanks for your time.

It's not leather, but check out this one:

Default Maybe

I have one, but I think it's a little too wide to fit a 737. It's 19 x 8.75 inches.

I love this bag (737)

Necessary? No.

Nice to have?

Yes. (also have the name tag and the Apple Tag container. In for a penny, in for a HUGE pound.)

Before I wrote this post I was looking at these and nearly bought one. My hangup is that it has wheels and a handle, and I'm afraid that those things might reduce the usable space inside. But yes, I might try it out anyway if I can't find something else.

Appreciate the suggestion.

I appreciate you chiming in... I think it would be a close fit due to the width. Yet, I'm curious. I'll take a measurement at work on Monday. Thank you.

That's a great looking bag! I don't know why that company didn't come up in my search. Thank you for the suggestion... I will consider this if I decide to go with a 3-bag setup. For now, I'd prefer something that can double as a flight kit / lunch bag; I don't think this one has the space to accomodate that.

You can get ahold of Derrek (proprietor) any time and he will be able to give you specifics and advice about anything you're wondering about. Super dude.
