I found this subreddit after identifying a project I could try and do myself so I don't even know where to start. Please forgive my naiveté. I'm looking to restore/create leather drop pockets for a special pool table that's been in my family for 30 years and I'd like to update it. Currently I have plastic pockets just resting on top of the irons, but the proper setup would to have the pocket irons wrapped in leather with a drop netted pocket and a couple facings on either side. I took some pictures of my current setup (no leather) and a setup I saw at a local store. I'd like to replicate the store version:

The one in the store felt very stiff and I'm not even sure if that's real or fake leather. I'm guessing I'll need to glue some leather on top, rivet or snap the nets in place and sew some facings on. Can someone help me out with what types of leather and tools I'd need to tackle this project on my own? I'm starting to see that "tooling" leather is thicker than some stuff I would use to wrap certain objects so I have no idea what types of leather to buy. I can buy the nets myself if that's difficult to DIY from here but full replacements including the irons are pretty expensive to just buy a replacement set as you can see here.

This company seems to be the ones that did the restorations for classic billiards in the previous link and have some more pictures of the process. After the basics, I'd like to attempt doing my own "carving/tooling" of the eagle logo, but I'd like to know what that would entail as well like this photo
