There was one floating around on this board somewhere. I don't remember where though. It was big. Are you looking for a functional bag or just something leather to sling over the shoulder.

If these dudes can rock leather. I'm sure a leather bag would be fine.

If you are willing to stray from leather, I can't say enough good things about Chrome messenger bags. Freakin bomb proof. And you stuff stays bone dry.

"I'm looking for something that says, 'Daddy likes leather.'"
"You mean like... leather daddy?"
"Oh! Does such a thing exist?"
EDIT: Pic doesn't like to be hotlinked apparently.

And as a serious answer, if you can't find a full leather messenger bag, Timbuk2 has a line of bags that are canvas with leather trim. They're recently discontinued and I got one for 50% off on closeout.

call up reload or someone else who does custom work, ask how much material it takes for them to make a bag, and then buy a hide big enough.

you could always get someone to modify real saddlebags, I guess. you would have a really heavy bag, though.
