The reason that's important is we hate seams. Seams are where things start to fall apart. So, we just use one solid piece of leather and that makes it stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLining of the Best Toiletry Bags \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  We line it with pigskin, which is even stronger than the cow leather. The pigskin is a light color so more light is in the dopp kit. And we lined the toiletry bag with the smooth side of the pigskin for easy cleanout.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHardware in these Toiletry Bags \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  There's not much hardware on the toiletry bag, but the hardware that is, is a very high level overkill 316 Stainless Steel.

Dopp kits go back to 1926. Before that, the US military issued toiletry kits in the WWI days. Some might even call them travel kits since they are so easy to keep packed and toss in your suitcase or other luggage such as our Leather Duffle Bag. Then, pack a few clothes and other travel gear you want to carry and be out the door. Most men notice they like to keep it packed with their collection of bathroom stuff and leave it on the bathroom counter. It doesn't take up very much space, and it is beautiful to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Bottom Line \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Look no further than the Big Mouth Leather Toiletry Bag if you're looking for style and durability in a leather toiletry bag.

Every hide comes with what is called \"grain\", the toughest and most water resistant fibers of the whole hide. But cowhides come thick, so the tannery splits them in half at the tannery. The top half is the toughest because it has all of the grain still on it, and the bottom half has been neutered. The bottom half is called Split or Genuine leather and also suede. If you find a really inexpensive tool bag or doctor's bag, that's why. If you're going to get one, get a quality one. Removing all of the grain from a leather hide is like removing the shingles from your roof. How sad is that? Oh, and our leather is a little thicker than work boot leather.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLining\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause there are often sharp tools inside tool bags, we lined it with tough, rugged pigskin, which is actually stronger than cow skin its same thickness.

The good and bad of Polyester is it never deteriorates. Good for thread, bad for clothing and sheets. BTW, did you know that people don't sleep as well if they have Polyester in their bedding, and Polyester clothing gives a lot of people skin problems? But when it comes to thread, Polyester will provide you with a lifetime of greatness. And then we use the thick German double-ought thread.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHardware\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt's kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but we developed our own custom hardware for our leather bags.

While it makes the best men's toiletry bag, a perfect size to pack all the grooming essentials a man could need to carry. It can also be used as a women's makeup bag.

Still, it was designed to be that way with no breakable parts and out of just one solid piece of leather. The fewer seams, the better. The closure is a steel Gladstone Bag closure, with a simple strap and buckle to keep it closed. No zippers, velcro, buttons, snaps, or magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eQuality Materials makes the best Toiletry Bag \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e When I designed this toiletry bag, I did the same as with all Saddleback Designs. I thought of all the essentials to make it the best, most durable, longest-lasting bag you will ever own. Of course, I had to use the highest-end materials and the best design. It's not easy, but quality never is. Otherwise, like the other toiletry bags you can purchase at the department store, it would be average. So I set out to make the best men's toiletry bags, which I believe I did.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather Toiletry Bag \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We built this leather toiletry bag like we build everything, with full grain leather. This is the determining factor for how long a leather toiletry bag will last. The \"Grain\" on leather makes up the top layer of the hide. It's super tough, water resistant, and ages nicely. The hide off the cow is thick, and at the tannery, they usually split it in the middle and separate the top from the bottom, and now they have two hides. The upper hide with the full amount of the grain on it, and the bottom hide with no grain on it. Quality companies pay high dollar for the full grain leather, and low quality trash companies make leather toiletry bags out of the bottom dwelling stuff with no grain on it. It's like building a house with no shingles on the roof. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLining the Men's Toiletry Bag \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We line the toiletry bag with super tough pigskin, which is actually stronger than the cowskin.

It's made of 316 Stainless, and we think it could withstand a nuclear bomb. Google it, and you'll be really impressed. It's expensive, but it's the metal of choice for when your life depends on it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Difference between a Men's Toiletry Bag and a Dopp Kit \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Back in WWI, the military started issuing toiletry bags to the soldiers. Then a few years later, a man named Charles Doppelt made them for civilians and called them \"Dopp Kits\". I believe even the best Dopp kits don't compare to the quality of this toiletry bag. Whether you are using it for all your toiletries and grooming products or to hold your collection of old coins or other gear, this will be a timeless addition to your collection of fine leather goods.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePart of your Travel Kit \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Frequent Travelers will keep their bag loaded and ready.

The Overnight Case can be packed in two different ways:1) You can stand it upright, open the lid from the front side, and stack your clothing or whatever you're traveling with that way. I find this way to be super efficient, as you don't have to dig through the case to find your favorite outfit. It's all stacked up right there in front of you, unlike in a travel bag. This also prevents your clothes from tumbling around and getting wrinkled when you're carrying it.-OR-The Grandfather Overnight Case is a durable, high-quality case perfect for all types of travel. It is made with a custom 316 Stainless Steel and features a super thick thread that is industrial, marine grade, and UV resistant. 2) You can lay it down flat like most conventional suitcases and open the lid up from the top side. The lid features two really big pockets for extra storage that would make a great place to store charging cables, small carry items, medications, and maybe even hide some money in a pocket so your wife doesn't find it.The Grandfather Overnight Case is ideal for 2-3 day travel and fits in the carry-on bins if you're flying. Just be aware that people at the airport will ask you where you got it, so be prepared for their envy of your style. See, it's more than a great travel case. It serves double duty as a piece of functional art. You will feel good with this on your shoulder; much better than just a simple leather duffle bag or other overnight bags.The edges and corners are all hand stitched and all stress points are reinforced with rivets so it won't wear out over time. Doing it this way takes a really long time to make, but they will last at least 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSaddleback Leather is always committed to quality materials. When I create a design like this leather overnight case, I take into account anything that might fail and make it so it won't. That starts with the best design, continues with the best materials, and ends with solid craftsmanship. That is how we can give a 100 year warranty and know they will fight over it when you're dead.Leather Our leather Grandfather Overnight Case is designed with real full-grain leather, and it's really thick. Most (low level) companies sand off the grain (the toughest, most water-resistant part of the leather hide) to get rid of scars and marks so they can use the entire hide to make bags. This is part of what allows them to sell cheap leather. What we do is just cut around the ugly parts and throw most of that leather away. Pay attention to the type of leather; always stick to full grain leather when shopping for quality.Lining We lined the leather Overnight Case with pigskin, which is stronger and more durable than the cow skin. It's also somewhat soft and smooth to touch, so it will protect any valuables from scratches and other damage. Hardware One of the coolest materials we use is our custom 316 Stainless Steel. It's a fun one to research; look it up on Google. It can hold up to 750 lbs. So if your life is depending on something, you're going to want it to depend on this metal.

You can fold and stack your clothes, shoes, toiletries, and other travel gear with plenty of space for a couple of days of travel.

For the sake of someone deciding to toss their laptop off the empire state building and it hit the hard ground and suing us because they \"misunderstood,\" we will say it is not complete protection. If there is inclement weather and your laptop is in this, and this is in your leather briefcase, you should be ok, but don't go swimming with it thinking your laptop is going become water-resistant the moment the sleeve senses water. I know, it is really dumb we should even have to say this, but everyone remembers the hot coffee lawsuit. I will say I wouldn't trust my laptop in any other laptop sleeve, and if laptops are still used 100 years from now, there will be a laptop in this sleeve because this is built to last, so much so you will get a 100-year warranty with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59968014385438,"sku":"01-30-0020-LG-BK","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59968014418206,"sku":"01-30-0020-LG-CH","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59968014450974,"sku":"01-30-0020-LG-DCB","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59968014483742,"sku":"01-30-0020-LG-TO","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/full-grain-leather-laptop-sleeve-dark-brown__29752.jpg?v=1790393260"},{"product_id":"side-pocket-leather-duffle-bag","title":"Side Pocket Leather Duffle Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesign of the Side Pocket Duffle\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Side Pocket Leather Duffle Bag is over-engineered to not break.

Imagine leather is like a roof. First, you put down the plywood, then the tar paper and then on top you put the tough water-resistant shingles. The shingles are the same as the grain of a hide of leather. It's pretty much the top 25% of the hide. It's the toughest most watertight part with all of the tight hard fibers. A lot of companies sand or split off the top of the hide with all of the grain to get rid of the scars and blemishes but remove all of the grain. It's like taking off the shingles of the roof. You still have a roof, but it won't last long. And then lined the thick leather with pigskin, which is stronger than the cow skin. And if this leather overnight bag weren't strong enough with that, we sew it all together with our strangely strong industrial marine grade and UV resistant polyester thread. Nylon thread is cheaper but it deteriorates when the sun hits it. Our custom hardware is maybe a little overkill. It's 316 Stainless Steel (please please google it). The clasps have been tested to hold up to 750 lb bags of cats without breaking. When we put the next cat in there, it broke.

Therefore, there are only two really big pieces of leather with a solid piece sewn on each end of this travel bag. And we sew the leather at only 5 stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. I designed it to be versatile. Buckled smaller at the first hole to be smaller or expanded way out jam-packed, buckled at the last hole. The dimensions are ideal to be able to fill it up and be around a 50 lb. limit. You could fit a dead body in it, like a deer or wild hog or something. This beast of a leather duffle bag is for big travel where a lesser man's luggage just won't do. I know you could get one with wheels (that will soon break), but why? Get this and add a little exercise to your day. Seriously, don't be afraid of using your muscles.

So the skin still has all of the grain (Full Grain Leather). No scars have been shaved or sanded off to leave only a little bit of the grain there (Top Grain Leather). Therefore, it's the strongest cow leather there is, and that's what we use. And we use thick full-grain. It's then lined with pigskin, which is tougher than cowskin. This pigskin lining adds incredible strength combined with the cowskin. Our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware is amazing (please, please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. The thread is strangely strong industrial marine grade UV resistant polyester thread. And thick.

The top stays securely closed with three really thick leather straps on the front side and one on each end. The straps loop through a durable stainless steel ring attached to the top and then buckle on the front. There are nine holes in each strap to allow it to cinch down on small loads or extend way out if it's jam packed full. This leather duffle bag is ideal for a week or longer of travel. It can also be great for those spontaneous weekend trips with the kids. The inside is lined with super strong pig skin, even stronger than what comes from cows. I added big inside pockets on each end of the bag, also made out of pig skin. They're extra roomy and make a good place to keep your smaller belongings, like electronic chargers or toiletry items, organized if you aren't fortunate enough to own one of our leather toiletry bags.

It's called \"full-grain\" because we don't shave any layers off like a lot of other leather bag designers do. Instead, we leave the top layer on, which is the strongest of all the layers. Sometimes we get some very unique hides by doing this. They may contain beautiful scars and markings, which really can add extra character. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eDurable Construction Involves Sewing it Right \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Our sewing process is notable as well. A sewing machine is essentially a perforator, in a sense. The more holes you put into the leather, the more potential you have to create a tearing point. So we space our holes out to 5 stitches per inch. We use robust polyester thread to hold everything together. It is a marine-grade and UV resistant thread, which is why all the best ship sail makers use it when they sew their sails together. Nylon thread is cheap and much thinner, so it's sure to start breaking and deteriorating over time. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003e316 Stainless Steel to Support Almost Anything \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  As if this leather duffle bag wasn't already over-engineered, the hardware we use is no weak link. All rings, clasps, and buckles are made from 316 Stainless Steel which has a load rating many times more than what you'd even be able to fit in the bag. The clasps have been tested to hold up to 750 lb bags of cats without breaking. When we put the 751st cat in there, it broke.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Shoulder Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  When you load these duffle bags down, you might want to avoid carrying them by hand. While you work up your strength to do that, use the adjustable shoulder strap for carrying comfort unless your wife is looking. That is when you grab the handle up top and carry it like a real man. Then when she isn't looking, enjoy the comfort of the padded straps. I didn't put removable backpack straps on this one for a backpack carry; it just wouldn't make sense. So instead, I just placed a single shoulder strap. The shoulder straps are made for strength and comfort. If you are looking for a backpack-style carry, check out our Squared Leather Backpack, which we call The Tank. Of course, it won't hold everything this will, but you will get comfortable backpack straps on something that can be used as a travel backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59968453509406,"sku":"01-60-0006-CH","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Coffee","offer_id":59968453542174,"sku":"01-60-0006-DCB","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59968453574942,"sku":"01-60-0006-TO","price":739.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/leather-duffle-bag-saddleback-27-beast_2__06457.jpg?v=1790393767"},{"product_id":"grandfather-suitcase","title":"Grandfather Suitcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Best Leather we can find\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis leather suitcase was built entirely with full-grain leather. Here's why that's so important. The leather's grain is on the top of the hide and is the most durable part. The grain helps it age handsomely and stay water resistant (cows are waterproof, right?). Most companies buy low quality, heavily scarred-up leather, shave off the scars and blemishes (along with all of the grain) to save as much money as they can by being able to use more of the hide. If they shave off some of the grain, that's top grain leather. If they shave all of it off or split the hide in half, that's called genuine or split leather. We WANT as much grain on our suitcases and other baggage as we can get. We want it all. Therefore, we must select three hides with almost no imperfections to make each leather suitcase. And then, completely unnecessarily, I lined the suitcase interior with tough, durable pigskin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne time, we were taking a two month trip around the world, filming a documentary on the making of our canvas line, Mountainback. We had my wife and I, our two little kids, and our filmmaker, Joe. There were eight full 50 lb. Leather Suitcases and Beast Duffle Bags are packed for cold weather (Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand) and hot weather (Kenya and Rwanda). We also had 2 large carry-ons per person. You can imagine the size of the vehicle we needed to rent to fit all of our things. Well, when we got to Australia, low and behold, they only had tiny little vehicles to rent. This would have stressed out any traveler with lesser luggage, but not us. So I took the two removable belts off our suitcases and strapped most of the luggage to the cute little roof rack.The suitcase is not lightweight, but it's not too heavy either. It is the right balance to make it challenging to fit 50 lbs. (23 kgs) into it. The interior is just one simple wide open space with two interior straps to hold clothes in place like they used to make them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eDurability\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the first major trip with my first suitcase, I carried this leather suitcase and my leather briefcase throughout Eastern Europe and North Africa for about 6 weeks. And about 3 weeks into it, the suitcase handle broke. The added complexity and energy exerted made me swear that would never happen to anyone who carried one of my suitcases.The handle is now bolted onto the leather suitcase and hand-sewn with boot-cord to the body. It is scarce for leather luggage to have this sort of serious consideration, but I wanted you to have the best leather luggage set you can get. Good wasn't enough; great leather luggage takes time to be designed right, then it needs to be used and abused to discover any changes that can make it better. We did that.There are no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, buttons, etc. Using those is like putting a cardboard hatch on a billion-dollar submarine. Once the hatch breaks, the submarine is worthless. So instead of metal hinges, I designed them with a double layer of full grain leather along the back. And the body is mostly handsewn with heavy-duty waxed boot cord for added strength.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eIf It Seems to be too Good to be True, It Probably is - Except This Time\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoin Our Newsletter Now For Free.

The Gladstone closure eliminates breakable parts like zippers, magnets, snaps, and buttons from being used. Over time leather stretches, but we reinforce all stress points with rivets and hidden polyester strapping to prevent this. The two front pockets also utilize the Gladstone closure, making them unlike any travel duffle bag we have ever seen. They can hold an excessive amount of things.

What is full grain leather, you ask? Well, the easiest way to explain it is that it doesn't have any top layers shaved off of it. A great analogy I like to use is comparing the top grain of leather to the shingles on a house. The top grain (shingles) is the toughest and most protective part on the cowhide (roof). We don't shave any layers off of our leather; we like the strength and character it offers. The leather we use is mineral tanned with Chromium (Cr). Chrome tanned leather is the most corrosive resistant leather you can get, which means your leather Front Door Duffle bag is corrosion resistant as well. Our custom 316 stainless steel hardware can be used if your life depends on it. It'd be what you would want, as a matter of fact. If you google it, you'll be incredibly impressed, but metallurgists give me some pretty crazy looks when I tell them it's what I use on our bags. The inside, opposite the two front pockets, has a big open pocket made from pigskin, which also lines the entire interior. Pig skin is even stronger than the full-grain leather we use. We sew it all together at only 5 stitches per inch using incredibly strong polyester thread. We do this so that there is more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. And our thread will not deteriorate like nylon thread when the sun hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are so many cool features on this leather duffle bag. First and foremost, the mid-18th century Gladstone Bag closure we used on the main compartment and the two front pockets is built for a lifetime of use. This came from a time when zippers weren't a thing yet, and they needed to keep the leather bag closed for travel. When opened, it stays open, and it's really wide, so it's easy to dig around when you're trying to find that surprise gift you brought to give your significant other. I put holes all the way out to the tip of the three straps that secure the closures.

The inside is wide open and lined with super durable pigskin, with a full-width, floppy pigskin pocket along both side gussets. Along with the main buckle, there are buckles at each end of the bag to ensure nothing falls out. Carry with comfortable rolled leather handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFunctionality \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  I designed it to be versatile. Buckled smaller at the first hole to be smaller or expanded way out jam-packed, buckled at the last hole. The dimensions are ideal for a gym bag or weekend carry on. You can fit enough gear for up to a handful of days of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eOnly Two Seams in This Duffle Bag \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This is one of the few leather duffle bags you can buy with only two seams. Most companies don't build stuff this way because it's really expensive to use such large pieces of leather (it makes a lot of scraps). That's why other bags can be cheaper; they're low quality. And we sew at only 5 stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. It is reinforced at stress points with rivets and hidden polyester straps to ensure that the leather straps and handles never ever stretch, even after 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Cows are waterproof, right? It's because the top part of their hide has tightly woven together fibers. So the skin still has all of the grain (Full Grain Leather). No scars have been shaved or sanded off to leave only a little bit of the grain there (Top Grain Leather). Therefore, it's the strongest cow leather there is, and that's what we use. And we use thick full-grain. It's then lined with pigskin, which is tougher than the cowskin. Our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware is amazing (please, please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. The thread we use is the toughest I could find - it's UV-stable polyester stuff more commonly found on ship sails and other marine applications where sustained extreme weather is a given. No other leather duffle bag will last as long as this one.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eDetachable Shoulder Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Yes, there is a detachable shoulder strap. We understand you might not want the shoulder strap every time you use this bag. You might want to load it down heavily and use the leather duffle bag to do curls and build up your biceps. Or you might need the strap to strap down that big buck you just bagged. Whatever your reason, know we've got you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Shoulder Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Now, if we made the perfect small leather duffle bag, would it still be perfect if it didn't have an adjustable shoulder strap? We didn't even have to think about it. So we made this with an adjustable strap. We want you to be able to comfortably carry it at the level that you want. If you like it up to your armpit or down to your waist, we don't judge; we just want you to be comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59968456032542,"sku":"01-60-0023-CH","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay","offer_id":59968456065310,"sku":"01-60-0023-CY1","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59968456098078,"sku":"01-60-0023-DCB","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Old Veg","offer_id":59968456130846,"sku":"01-60-0023-OV1","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59968456163614,"sku":"01-60-0023-TO","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/3529__54287.jpg?v=1790393773"},{"product_id":"blackstone-barrister-briefcase","title":"Blackstone Barrister Briefcase","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlackstone Barrister Briefcase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eI named this large Barrister’s Briefcase in honor of Sir William Blackstone (1723-1780) of England.

I carried the waterbag as a backpack rolled up empty one time through London with the family. When we got to Hamley’s, the biggest toy store in the world, we stupidly told the kids that they could pick out toys for their upcoming birthdays, but not to expect gifts on the actual day. We filled that leather backpack \/ leather duffle bag up. But two and four months later, when it came time for their 9th and 11th birthdays, all of those toys they bought were now either broken, used up or boring to them. So, we had to buy new gifts because it would have been lame to just have a birthday cake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompression Closure Straps - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe three strap configuration is very very cool. You can cinch them down and the air in your clothes and stuff is pressed right out of the bag so you’ll have more room for more stuff in the bag. It can get so densely packed, it gets pretty heavy.

And because it doesn’t have a zipper, you can stick baseball bats or other oversized objects out of it and still close it securely. One time in Zambia, I put a whole donkey leg into my Waterbag and strapped it closed with the leg sticking out. I then waited at a distance for a lion to tear into it. It was awesome for sure. He still couldn’t open it completely though. That actual Waterbag is in our leather showroom in Texas.

If we weren’t there, we were cliff jumping into or innertubing down one of the many frigid snow melt rivers almost every weekend. One of the things that I always thought was super cool were the dry bags. I thought they were such an innovative idea. If you’re not familiar with a dry bag, you put your camera, wallet and other water sensitive stuff in there, roll the top down and then seal the opening, and the bag keeps everything dry while you’re floating down the river. Even if your raft flips over, everything inside stays dry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo, once I started designing bags, I had a huge desire to create something with a watertight dry bag type rolling closure. Then I spent quite a bit of time in the Sahara of North Africa where everyone’s bags fold or rolled over to keep the blowing sand and dust out. With the Deschutes and the Sahara as inspirations, I came up with this leather duffle bag and called it the Waterbag, which we trademarked. If water can’t easily get out, then it can’t easily get in either. BTW, I was not covertly working for the CIA or any other US government agency at all when in North Africa under the cover of a businessman traveling with his family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":60088266195230,"sku":"01-60-0009-MD-CH-NP-C","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay","offer_id":60088266227998,"sku":"01-60-0009-MD-CY-NP-C1","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":60088266260766,"sku":"01-60-0009-MD-DCB-NP-C","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":60088266293534,"sku":"01-60-0009-MD-TO-NP-C","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/full-grain-leather-duffle-waterbag-brown-travel-bag-front__90947.jpg?v=1790765885"},{"product_id":"24-waterbag","title":"24\" Waterbag","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLeather 24\" Waterbag\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eI was young and stupid when I discontinued this 24” Waterbag a decade ago and I just realized it in March of 2026.

I prefer my own Waterbag without it if I’m just carrying clothes, but now and then I like it when I’m carrying stuff to distribute the direct force of any pointy rocks, shards of glass or any object that may poke the leather bottom of the bag for a prolonged time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Bondish Versatile Design \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater and Sand Resistant - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen this leather duffle bag is rolled down or folded over, it’s hard for water, blowing dust or sand to get into it if you’re on the Deschutes or out in the Sahara. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConverts Into Backpack - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe same shoulder strap can run through an O-ring to convert the whole bag into a backpack. I carried the waterbag as a backpack rolled up empty one time through London with the family. When we got to Hamley’s, the biggest toy store in the world, we stupidly told the kids that they could pick out toys for their upcoming birthdays, but not to expect gifts on the actual day. We filled that leather backpack \/ leather duffle bag up. But two and four months later, when it came time for their 9th and 11th birthdays, all of those toys they bought were now either broken, used up or boring to them. So, we had to buy new gifts because it would have been lame to just have a birthday cake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompression Closure Straps - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe three strap configuration is very very cool. You can cinch them down and the air in your clothes and stuff is pressed right out of the bag so you’ll have more room for more stuff in the bag. It can get so densely packed, it gets pretty heavy. But the same three straps can be tucked inside the bag through secret slots for when you’re carrying it in open tote mode. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy and Odd Packing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - This leather duffle bag opens wide, and when you roll the top edge back over itself, it forms a stiffer ring that keeps the mouth wide open for easy packing. And because it doesn’t have a zipper, you can stick baseball bats or other oversized objects out of it and still close it securely. One time in Zambia, I put a whole donkey leg into my Waterbag and strapped it closed with the leg sticking out. I then waited at a distance for a lion to tear into it. It was awesome for sure. He still couldn’t open it completely though. That actual Waterbag is in our leather showroom in Texas. It’s a great alternative to the typical leather carry on luggage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Handle Options - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis leather travel bag was designed with two handles to balance when carrying. If you roll it more then use the built in handle. If you roll it down tight, then use the second handle sticking up.

It’s hard to explain, but you’ll thank me for this one too.

When I returned to start packing, the leather duffle bag had been disappeared, but it was no mystery who disappeared it. When I walked into my son, Cross’s, room, there it was, getting ready to be packed. Cross had nabbed it to pack his 12 days worth of clothes in since he thought it was the perfect size for a trip like that too. But we only had one. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eI grabbed it off his bed and so ensued the argument of who pulled it out of our leather bin first. That was when I realized I needed to bring back the 24” Large Waterbag for sale. It was clearly the size we were missing in our line up of leather travel bags. We have the super popular 20” Waterbag, which is great for 5 to 7 days of travel and the 27” Adolescent Beast and 34” Beast duffle bags for month long Africa trips, but we were missing that 24” inbetween size for trips like this. I can’t believe I discontinued it so long ago since it was so popular then too. I don’t do drugs and I don’t remember striking my head against a rock or anything. What was I thinking to discontinue such a perfectly sized bag like that? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOur first stop in Japan was at an old antique Samurai warrior suit of armor dealer to see the leather Samurai suit I had heard about. It was SOOOOOOOO awesome. When your whole working life has revolved around leather, stuff like that is beyond cool. It was even cooler than the 1800’s leather peg leg I found at an antique shop the other day. You’ll see it in our leather museum if you come to visit our headquarters made out of 1 million pounds of leather scrap bales.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter a few days of wandering, Cross and I left the ladies in Kyoto and went on to the main leather town of Japan, where so much of Japan’s leather had been tanned for thousands of years. I had heard there was something special about the water there. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe walked into the tannery I suspected might make the Shironameshi leather and took a tour. It was so interesting to see their different machinery and methods of tanning the hides, unlike anything I had seen in any of the dozens of tanneries I had visited around the world. But when I asked them if they knew anything about the Shironameshi leather, they laughed and told me it was made up and didn’t exist, but I believed them about as far as I could throw them. I actually think they didn’t want me to find it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo, we got in a taxi and tried to explain to the lady through Google Translate about this most elusive leather and she started making some calls. We stopped at a Samurai leather workshop but nobody answered the door. Then we stopped at a horse hide tannery and they pointed us up the road to a building along the river with no signs to be found. Our taxi driver got out and started knocking on some old metal doors until someone finally opened up. She explained to them what we were looking for and I saw that person make a call. About 10 minutes later, a man and his wife pulled up in a car and parked in front of us. We all got out and greeted eachother with bows and then walked in through an industrial looking door into a dark building. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe talked for a bit through Google Translate and then he disappeared to another room. When he came back, he had a cream colored whole hide over his shoulder and laid it out on a table in front of me. And there it was. The hardest to find and most special leather on Earth and I was rubbing my hands on it. The maker of the Shironameshi leather went on to explain that 25 years earlier, he had been reading some thousand year old writings about the river that runs through town and in there they talked about how they tanned leather in that river with just salt. No tannins, no brain matter, no chromium or anything else. Just salt. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhat?!!! Just salt and water? Impossible. Witchcraft? He went on telling the story of how he experimented for years and years of through much trial and error, he finally perfected it.

We laughed and talked and laughed some more and then he said, “This leather is from Japan and has only ever been for the Japanese people and I won’t sell it to you or anybody who is not Japanese. I’m sorry, but you cannot have my leather”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt that moment, I heard a record screech to a halt in my head as all of my dreams of making a few super special bags out of this most amazing leather in the world, were seemingly dashed to pieces on the rocks of disappointment. I couldn’t believe that he just said that. But then I thought, “Hmmm… it’s obvious that he just needs to understand who we are and what we are about first and then maybe he’ll change his mind. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSo I smiled and said to him, “Let me tell you a little bit about who we are and what we do. We have a leather company and we love the people who work for us. We offer counseling for our employees and also have marriage and parenting classes after work at the factory because we feel like it is something that our creator wants us to do. God doesn’t hug people, but he uses us to hug people.” I went on to share about what Jesus did for us and how that great love motivates us to love others. I told him that we make and sell beautiful leather things too. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe put his head down for a minute in silence and then looked over to his wife and said something quickly in Japanese. He then turned back to me and spoke into my phone and then smiled and stuck out his hand to shake. As we were shaking hands, the voice on the phone said that we were now friends and he would allow me to use his leather. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere’s a lot more to the story from there and even more to come, but that’s for another time.
