Thank you for additional detailed photos.
Fabien and Bertrand have been in communication with Ben Yates, Bertie and others in the UK to ascertain whether AC (Thames Ditton) Actually made a tool bag for the Ace as a genuine accessory and if so, confirm exACt specification of material.
In the meantime I emailed Fabien as Below:-

Thank you for your email and pictures of your proposed AC Tool Bag,
great initiative, looks really well made.
Initial Interest shown from a few UK members and West Coast USA
& Vancouver is very positive, However general conclusion is if investing 125 Euro in a tool bag it must be 100% correct in Dimensions, construction and material.
Appreciate the black synthetic leather will last longer, but is it correct ... Club France have orders for 30 bags already, Don't want to be negative but it costs the same to make it authentically correct than incorrect.
Tim Isles will make contact on Monday with David Sanderson and a few others plus his trimmer, Like wise I will speak to my trimmer on the off chance a more accurate / authentic material is available.
Please don't be offended and take this Constructive criticism the wrong way, the time and effort put into this initiative by Bertrand, AC Club France and you is really appreciated. Many of the AC members especially the concourse guys, overemphasize Accuracy.
If the initial batch is already in process of manufacture, maybe the next batch could be made in different material
