Our all-leather, handcrafted Blueprint Tube keeps large format documents (like architectural blueprints, maps, artwork, and posters) safe and portable.
Impressively hand-stitched in every detail, the Blueprint Tube is made from structural and sturdy vegetable-tanned tooling leather - the same kind used in horse saddles.
This is the perfect briefcase for artists, photographers, graduates, architects, engineers, cartographers, and business professionals looking to store or transport their most important work.
Our customers have proudly used our archival quality leather document tube all over the world:
- National Geographic photographers presenting prints
- Egyptologists carrying archaeological dig plans
- Sailors storing nautical maps at sea
- Engineers toting oil derrick site plans on the job site
- Developers and architects presenting architectural blueprints
FEATURES
- Leather is Grade "A" American-tanned full grain tooling cow hide
- Edged, oil-dyed by hand, burnished, glossed for weatherproofing, hand-stitched, and assembled with hardware in our Oregon workshop
- Stays shut with a permanently-attached, adjustable-length shoulder strap that tightens the lid down
- A fast-release Conway buckle for easy on-and-off
(How to use a Conway buckle >>>) - Unlined: the leather is flexible but sturdy enough that additional lining is unnecessary
- Undyed on the inside to protect archival contents and to keep the interior light and easy to see inside
