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.
Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but truly, this bag is big. No really, sit down and think about it. Do what I did...get a measuring tape and try and find something around the house that has the same approximate measurements. ...and then, I swear, once you get it, you'll think it's even bigger than they say it is. It's too much bag for a weekend trip, honestly. It would be perfect for a week long car trip. Well built, like all SBL products. No complaints. Yes it's heavy, yes it's bulky, yes it will make you hate that you packed it so full...but that's why you bought it isn't it? Just go for it. You won't regret it!

For all practical purposes I live out of bag. I have looked for a long time for a large duffel bag. I looked at bags from Duluth Trading Company, Shnees, Gander Mountin, Filson, and various other reputable companies. This bag is by far and away the best built of any bag I could find. I unpack almost completly at each move and it has all the room I need. Only drawback is possibly the wieght. The bag itself is almost a work of art, it was definitaly assembled by a craftsman of high skill. Just sitting in the corner it garners compliments on it's looks. People ask/comment on all the time. I am almost nervous to let an airline handle it, (becausee of the chance of loss, not that it won't stand up to thier gentle handeling). No doubt it was not cheap, nothing good ever is. I will update my will to include this item, I believe it will be around longer then me.

I got the Beast Duffel for Christmas. It is my first piece of Saddleback luggage. This thing is incredibly well constructed as are all the other Saddleback products I have purchased. It's the best I have ever owned.

I have taken the Beast on a couple of short trips. I give it a solid 9/10 for utility?????_ however, I give it a solid 12.5/10 for street-cred!!! It is virtually impossible for being at an airport and not have people come up to you every couple of minutes commenting on it and asking where I got it from?????_ and occasionally asking if I have a body stashed away in it! Like all my other Saddleback products, I love this bag!!!
