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.
I have the medium simple, the thing front pocket backpack (newest version) and just recently purchased the tank 2.0. This is the best backpack of all of them. The right size, weight, balance and functionality. Bigger than the TFPBP but only 0.5 lb heavier. But not too big or bulky like the simple BP. Plus it stays upright and doesn’t flop over. I still love my other backpacks but this is the one that will see the most use. And the side pockets are huge. So much stuff I can fit in there. I also like the front pocket for my iPad so I can keep it separate from the main compartment. I think if it’s one backpack that exudes what this company is about, this is it. So solid in construction but not too heavy for everyday use. And the tobacco color is amazing and velvety.

I bought it for my grandson who’s leaving for Boston College for law school. He loves it and has been using it since I gave it to him for his college graduation that hasn’t happened yet due to COVID. Wake Forest is talking about October 2020 to have actual graduation:+1: He loves the backpack and wants the more business one when he passes the bar! I plan to be a repent customer!!

It’s fabulous! One of best pieces of quality work I’ve ever seen in a long time, especially lately where there are so many companies selling cheaply made products at premium prices. It’s definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend it and it’s completely true that people or my family will be using it and fighting over it for generations.

Bought the "Tank" as a Christmas present to myself.. first day at work, my boss saw the bag and wanted it. Told him he could order his own.. Received lots of compliments but the best was my own. Exceeded my expectations and love the functionality.

I have been sold on the quality of saddleback leather products for over a decade, but my recent purchase of the Tank 2.0 (square backpack) has me in awe all over again. I absolutely love the tobacco color and it’s super soft feel. The weight of this backpack is not as noticing was I anticipated. The hidden side pockets have started loosing up as I work my water bottle back and forth and it fits perfectly. It hold my 15in MacBook Pro and everything I need for the day with room to spare. I would highly recommend this bag. I have purchased the classic briefcase (large), the flight bag, small dry bag, but this is my favorite every day bag.
