They are beautiful bags. They look much better than most other, and I'm sure they are virtually indestructible. It's just .. the added weight of all leather - I can't justify it, personally.
Gorgeous bags! I'm looking forward to seeing an update when these have some months breaking in on them. I've got a Duluth Pack I've had for years that has served me well.
I'm testing the tobacco version of the front pocket backpack myself. I am very interested to see how the coffee brown wears in. The tobacco still looks almost brand new after a month of daily use. I need to take this out on the trail to get some real wear and tear on it. I will definitely stay tuned to see how both of these bags wear over time.
@@bootsjeansandtheoddwatch I’m a little bummed it’s made so well, and I only really have a little crocking on the straps and back from my IH and Brave Star jackets.
I’ve had a slightly different design of this backpack in dark coffee brown since 2014. It has aged so beautifully. It’s now deeply darkened, full of scratches/scares, and has gotten soft and floppy.

Understandable, it is a beast!

Those are way too god damned expensive but damn do they look well made. :)
This thing is an absolute beast! But the price will definitely be prohibitive for many!

Nice choice! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on yours!
