Instructables user katvanlew wanted to make a sturdy yet unique laptop bag and made one from a wool suit coat and an old plaid shirt for lining, both acquired cheaply at a thrift store. If you have a sewing machine you can make your own classy laptop bag for around $5 and a few hours of sewing.
The process involves deconstructing the suit jacket, using the body of the jacket for the bag and the sleeves for the handles or shoulder strap. After the basic shape is assembled the author likewise cutup the plaid shirt to provide a lining and internal pockets for the bag. The author also used a denim skirt, another thrift store purchase, to use as a layer between the wool and the plaid shirt lining to make the bag more durable.
