Apparel reviews of A Leather Backpack Messenger Bag They'll Fight Over When You're Dead

Customer Review: Simple; a great bag
Rating: 5 Stars

I'm not a fan of "fine goods" such as expensive leather goods, designer jeans, fine jewelry, etc. Those things just aren't worth the money, and serve no purpose.

Make no mistake about it, this bag is not one of those things. At a price of $350, I was expecting excellence, and Saddleback Leather exceeded my demands.

I'm going to use the line "The picture doesn't do it justice", but I fear that might go ignored. Let me explain.
Firstly, the front securing strap pictured is not the one on the bags, perhaps the picture is outdated. The leather latch is more similar to their big bag models, and rather than a slit in the bad with a couple of rivets, the strap is riveted straight on to the bag (3 rivets), and looks much, much more attractive.
Secondly, the leather in the picture make the bag seem a bit soft and flaccid, while the leather is very thick and rigid. It's much finer than pictured.
Lastly, the top handle is much more attractive than the model shown. It's much more sturdy, and uses metal rings.

Cons:
The sides aren't lined with pigskin either, and much of the stress by the shoulder strap is put onto the stitching at the weakest part of the bag. While it shows no sign of tearing, if something were to not last a lifetime, it would be at this point. While lining the sides with pigskin would limit its ability to collapse, there could be some design changes to make this point more sturdy since its one of the weakest parts of the bag, and holds the most stress.
The bottom could be made rigid with some pigskin to help with durability.

Description of A Leather Backpack Messenger Bag They'll Fight Over When You're Dead

Dimensions: Approx. 12.75" wide X 14" high X 3.9". Each Saddleback Leather piece is built with thick, tough to sew full grain leather with clean unfinished edges. Every work of leather is made by man not by automated machine. Because of that and the thickness, the seams and stitches aren't always precisely spaced, but they sure are strong. They are not perfect and that's what makes them perfect. Our craftsmen use the toughest thread around and stout rivets on all stress points. We refuse to use zippers, snaps or anything that'll eventually break. If you want a flawless mass produced pretty boy bag made for the masses, by the masses, your search is not over. You might find a small scar or two on your leather (which was the least of the bull's ill fortune). That's the beauty of full grain boot leather. These are handmade, to last longer and age better than you ever will. Buy the best, cry once.
