LOVE 41
Our hope is that you’ll be proud of your bag because of the compliments you get and how long it lasts. But our deeper hope is that you join our community of those nurturing the vulnerable and loving the unloved. We do more than just quality leather bags; we do quality in all areas of our business.
Our purpose is not to change the world by loving orphans, single moms and ex-prisoners one at a time. It’s to work with a Love 41 community/family of loving and nurturing people to do it. If you want to but you’re not sure how, then join us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to learn more. We’ll help you get plugged in.
Read MoreIt is plain and simple with no breakable parts like zippers, wheels, snaps, or buttons and built with as few seams as possible because seams are where all duffle bags start falling apart. 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. It's good for you.
---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 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. No other leather duffle bag will last as long as this one.
---We design and make our leather duffle bags to last. From the quality material to the craftsmanship, we put our best into everything we make. So if you are looking for a leather overnight bag with an adjustable shoulder strap, a leather weekender bag, or a large duffle bag like this one, we make them. Not good quality, but great quality travel bags are from Saddleback Leather Co. You will feel fulfilled carrying our high quality leather bags.
Build quality, style and capacity are all fabulous. But I bought - my own fault entirely - having looked at the bag numerous times in its previous style. I find that the single handle on the top doesn't suit the rugged style and that the shape of the bag doesn't hold up well when the bag isn't packed full or strapped very tightly. Sadly I'll probably sell it on.

Bag is as expected. Old school thick leather. Nice hardware. It would be nice if it had a storage bag.

This bag is legendary. Doormen, Bellhops and luggage handlers have complimented the caliber of these bags (beast, waterbag and accoutrements) on many occasions with reverence. These bags are right at home in “World Class” surroundings or the rodeo grounds. They wear like hardened steel. Never a tear, pull or failure of any sort. The belt holes don’t even show much wear. You literally cannot go wrong with anything they offer at Saddleback. IAFF member approved.

I was all set to go to The North Pole in March of 2020, but then corona virus hit so my trip was suspended. That being said, when I bought the bag I knew it was a very large bag, but then again I had never visited The North Pole. It requires an extreme amount of gear, down, wool and equipment. Although, I didn't get to go this year, the ONLY bag that fit all of my gear was the beast bag. I'm hopeful I will get to go in 2021 with the beast ............
