This is the 4th Edition of the Squared Leather Backpack and has been refined over the years to what it is now. 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.
---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. If it does break, it'll either be an excellent story or an unfortunate one.
---There are many advantages of a leather backpack. Let us start with a full grain leather bag will develop a beautiful patina over time and tell your story. The more you use this backpack, the better it looks. This will also protect your belongings from the elements better than some synthetic material. Full grain is the most water-resistant, so a little rain won't hurt it. That's what you get with high quality leather goods. Another significant advantage of our Squared Leather Backpack is that it's virtually impossible to tear.
---This Tank of a backpack is not for the faint of heart. It's big but not pretentious, and it's built to last. This is the one if you're searching for a leather backpack that will allow you to haul around your 17-inch laptop and gear easily. It's also perfect for traveling as it fits everything you need.
---You should not have problems getting through TSA with this as your carry-on backpack. It's a perfect size and has plenty of room for everything you need while still being small enough not to be a pain. This is an excellent backpack for a fun weekend trip, or work trip, with enough room for your laptop plus maybe a change of clothes, and whatever other gear you might need.
Loved it.

I bought the backpack as a replacement for my Victorinox backpack I use to carry my laptop and work accessories. It provides a plenty of space, my laptop fits perfectly to back pocket, and I carry accessories (cables, smart card readers, USB hub, etc. in front pocket). I have a tip for enhancement: I would like to see bigger organizer bag in addition to small bags you already sell - bigger bag should fit in front backpack pocket. I would definitely buy it if it was available. Backpack fits perfectly on my back, and it's perfect quality - I didn't find anything problematic so far.

I'm a little embarrassed that it took my three orders/returns to finally get the perfect bag. My chestnut "tank" arrived today and it is absolutely wonderful.... My entire living room smells like leather. The chestnut color is simply perfect. I am a CPA/business consultant who occasionally carries several books along with my 16" MacBook pro...everything fits perfectly. Thanks, Dave and company for being so kind to work with me until I found a bag that works for me! I appreciate it and am already very proud of my new purchase.

Yep, it’s a TANK. Tough with plenty of room... so much room you can lose stuff inside this backpack. It’s my second SBL backpack, purchased specifically for travel. I use a smaller SBL backpack for everyday. Figured if I can support 2 dogs, I can afford 2 backpacks. You only live once.
