It includes the outermost layer of the hide and has all of the natural grain which gives leather its strength, breath-ability, and durability. Our leather is thick and tough as nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather is like a roof on your house. The shingles are the toughest and most protective layer. Leather's \"grain\" makes up the top layer of the hide. Some companies shave off the top layer to get rid of scars and blemishes because they don't want to cut around those parts and throw any leather away. That's money. But in doing so, they shave off the shingles from your roof. It's really dumb, but they do it. We don't. We use high quality leather with the full amount of grain still there to make all of our leather goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lining we use is a super tough pigskin leather, and even stronger than our cow leather. We glue and stitch the tough pigskin lining to make our leather pieces even more durable so they're guaranteed to outlast you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost manufacturers like to line their briefcases and satchels with shiny nylon that looks pretty and would be great for a kite but not a briefcase liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThread:\u003c\/strong\u003e The thread is an unbelievably strong marine-grade UV-resistent polyester continuous filament German thread. It's the same thread they use when people could die if the thread fails, like on ship sails and parachutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sew our leather at 5 stitches per inch. Most companies sew at 7-9 stitches in a single inch, and some go to 9+ stitches per inch. You see, a sewing machine is really just a big perforation machine and each hole is the start of a tear. If the needle holes are too close together, then the leather will tear like perforated paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our hardware is a custom stainless steel and is complete overkill.

From there, we took a 2-hour small boat ride to an island off the Northern Coast of Kenya, next to Somalia, where a Kenyan friend of ours told us it was a super cool place for holiday. We didn't know about all of the Al-Shabaab terrorist activity and kidnappings in the area, or we probably wouldn't have chosen it for our family vacation, but ignorance is bliss. The last night there was a little freaky. Okay, a lot of freaky hanging out and discussing theology with the witchcraft-practicing angel prophet of Islam, but that's for another place and time (or bag description).So we finally get to our destination, Mike's Camp, run and owned by a British Kenyan named Mike. A charming chap who had made a barefoot luxury Gilligan's Island resort built almost entirely from woven reeds. The walls and floors were 100% woven, and the ceilings were thatched. All of it was supported by branches and sticks.It was SUPER COOL. Unbelievable. And that's why billionaires fly in to stay there all the time. Of course, since we're not billionaires, we flew into Lamu and then took the little skiff to the island, but some people fly in at low tide, land on the beach, and walk up the sand dunes to the camp. It's where you completely unplug. No laptop bags are allowed.

An iPad, iPhone, tablet or notebook, business cards, passport, boarding pass, etc. This slim leather laptop bag is made with no breakable parts and reinforced with extra stitching, rivets, or hidden polyester strips that don't stretch. Only three large pieces of leather make up the body of the laptop bag to minimize the number of stitches in the bag. Each time a sewing needle pokes through the leather, it actually starts a tear. So the fewer holes, the better. And we only allow five stitch holes per inch for strength.

The grain is the toughest and most water-resistant part of the hide and is only on the top part. So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes they don't have to cut around them and throw that leather in the trash. That is the equivalent of taking the shingles off of the roof. But they save a lot of money making a leather briefcase.

And any stress spot is reinforced with Polyester straps hidden beneath the leather and riveted. The body of this leather backpack is built with just two big pieces of leather, which means there aren't many seams. The fewer the seams, the stronger the backpack because backpacks come apart at the seams before anywhere else. And then we only sew 5 stitches per inch, so there are as few holes as possible.

It's rare for a low-quality company to use full grain to make a leather backpack because it's so expensive. When I say \"Full Grain Leather\" I mean that it still has all of the tough, tightly woven fibers on the top of the hide.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Genuine Leather Backpack is Missing the Strength \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Most companies shave off the scars and blemishes from the top of the hide (watch how they shave it here at minute 6:30) and shave off the strongest and best part of the hide (the grain) while doing it. They shave it down to genuine leather. They do it, so they don't have to cut around the marks and throw those pieces into the trash as we do. We throw away 25% of the hide. They don't throw hardly anything away. But since it still has leather, they can call it a genuine leather backpack.

Check that one off the list of potential problems. Our large pieces of hardware on our backpacks are rated strong enough to hold a 750 lb. bag of cats before it gives. Seriously, I hope you google it to understand more.

You'll see old pictures with a fat flat handle, but the new one is high and thinner. And it's still over-engineered. It has no breakable parts like buttons, magnets, or zippers and it's still reinforced with rivets through and hidden polyester strapping at all stress points. In addition, this newest edition of this leather backpack is made from only two large solid pieces of leather instead of three, which means that there are fewer seams on this backpack to tear apart. This leather backpack has a laptop pocket on the front exterior and one in the back that can fit a 17\" laptop. Both tall side pockets have a hidden pocket behind them for quick access or for sticking in longer things. The lower and side d-rings on the backpack are great for securing on tripods, blankets, and or dirty and wet shoes. The shoulder straps are minimal, but with a comfortable and adjustable shoulder pad to distribute the backpack's weight where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials used to make the Best Full Grain Leather Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Full-grain leather is the strongest and most water-resistant leather you can use for a backpack, and we use the thick version of it. Like boot leather, but a tad thicker. Then we line it with pigskin, which is tougher than cow leather. Finally, we sew the leather backpack together with a very expensive German industrial marine-grade polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does. The hardware is our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware. I believe we are the only company in the world using such strong hardware to make a leather backpack. The buckles can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats without breaking. It's kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but I tell you this, you'll never have a problem with hardware breaking on your backpack.

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.
