How It's Made | The Saddleback Waterbag Leather Duffle Bag
How to make a leather duffle bag like a cow. With as few holes as possible
....to wait. So many said just buy the bag, but it still took me 2 years to decide. I have a medium DCB that i use as a carry on. It has passed through JFK, Syracuse, Frankfurt, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Surabaya airport check in and security with zero problems, and yes it slides into the overhead bins with ease. My longest single trip so far was 4 workdays and a travel only day. 4 shirts / 4 ties / 2 trousers / 1 jacket / underwear etc. / a few t-shirts/ dopp kit / laptop charger / shoes and it is not even half full so i am very confident this will be my last bag purchase as a long trip for me is 10 days max. Rolled shirts came out looking relatively fresh and crease free. The 3 straps are still a bit stiff to open the bag quickly, so i also bring along my messenger bag for anything that needs to be scanned separate in airports and for use as an office day bag. This combination is leading me to think i no longer need the large classic briefcase! Maybe i will sell it to raise funds for a thin front pocket briefcase. I took the shoulder straps off and use a folding trolley as waterbag transport through an airport, then i just use the clip-on handle from the gate to the plane. It is no heavier than the Delsey trolley bag it has replaced and is easier to get into the overhead bin. Yes people will look at your bag and want to ask questions. I got used to this with my first classic briefcase and use whichever standard procedure applies to the look of the person approaching or my mood of the moment 1. Scowl darkly 2. Smile and look friendly. I had a few moments deciding on colour and almost sent the DCB back for a tobacco (i am all DCB except for a tobacco wallet and note pad holder) but the usual great Saddleback customer service gave help, advice plus some extra unexpected assistance which quickly helped me decide.
This is the most incredible bag money can buy. I've had mine in the medium size for more than two years, and it is still tough as nails. And what's more, the older it gets, the better it looks. I've gotten so many compliments on this bag, its incredible. Definitely and eye-catcher and definitely worth the money.
...pulled the trigger on this bad boy and was lucky enough to get what I think was one of the last Dark Coffee Browns before Dave revamps to the old colorway later this year. This is a phenomenal and heavy duty bag. The leather is soft, pliable and has gorgeous pull-up. It adds another 7lbs to whatever you're already packing so make sure you don't mind carrying that through an airport - I imagine the comments I'll get in transit will make that journey well worth it. This is my second of three Saddleback purchases and certainly no where near the last. Newcomers may question the quality of Dave's newer product based on recent forum complaints but after comparing to Will Leather, the Shinola Carryall in the new Navigator leather and others I am super happy with my decision. Only recommendation to SBL would be to add an outside pocket on the back similar to the limited-run small waterbags for stowing phones, airline tickets and other EDC items.
How many times does a person lives? I was told once and I was told we have an obligations as humans to make the best out of this life! this Bag is the embodiment of this concept! just buy this bag and live well and happy! because it's unreal, it's awesome! it's sick!
Nephew approved. Purchased my SBL Medium waterbag via amazon . It is a beautiful bag. I am 5' 11" tall with a h back. I wear this bag as a back pack and it is by far the st comfortable bag Dave has created so far IMO. The straps fits my big back perfectly. I can pack a week worth of clothes in the bag.
