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
I am sick. Just received the large water bag and front pocket messenger. Returned both of these beauties tonight. After receiving the bags, the tobacco has changed in both color and texture. There is just no depth and character in the new tobacco. Does not look like the pictures. Pictures still shows the tobacco of just 3-4 months ago. Its as if I can find this tobacco pretty much anywhere over the internet. The bags look to cookie cutter, The edges are unfinished and raw. The old bags looked as if they were made off a 100 yr old machine. Just had so much depth and character in the old tobacco color. Now its to flat, so common. Well not sure the right words, but really killed me to send back.
I have been looking all over for a bag of this quality and the compliments are numerous. Although, I do believe it may be tinted with a tad bit of jealousy. I’m actually buying another for my girlfriend who travels extensively and often makes the comment “mine may come up missing for one of her trips”. I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into your products and will definitely be a lifelong customer. If I could give piece of advice, just buy iit....you won’t be sorry! Keep up the great work and tradition...I know someone definitely will be fighting over this when I’m gone, but for now I’m getting some use out of it!
this was NOT what i was expecting, i do not recommend this
I bought the medium "Waterbag" in tobacco after weeks of researching Saddleback Leather's website, and watching every YouTube video review I could find. Like many of you, I was torn between several models. My research included: "Side Pocket Duffel," and the "Utility Duffel" models. When I considered my use of carry-on luggage, or weekend adventure bags, I very rarely get into the bag once it is packed. Nobody on the plane wants to be "that guy" who keeps getting up and messing around with the overhead luggage. I usually keep it secure until I arrive at my destination, so I didn't have a big need for accessing side pockets. This is true for road trips as well as air travel. I was quite intrigued by the concept of having a bag that would help to limit: dust, dirt, sand, moisture, and other unwanted environmental elements. I am able to pack: three to four days worth of business and casual attire, dress shoes and running shoes, exercise clothing, a shaving kit, and still have plenty of room to close it securely. I use packing cubes to keep things organized, and it really makes a difference with efficiently packing the bag and avoiding wrinkled clothing. With a folding compact luggage cart, I travel with this and a matching large tobacco "Front Pocket Briefcase" with ease. It's a great pair of products to get me through a business week in the city, traveling through airports and other cities, and then out to the ranch for enjoying the weekends. I absolutely love both of these beautiful and tough leather products that serve me well, no matter my location.
I just received the large waterbag (tobacco), and I couldn't be more pleased. I bought it from Dave's Deals (10% discount), and I have no idea why it was discounted. I own several SBL products, and this discounted bag looks no different than anything else that I've purchased. The bag itself looks, smells, and feels great. I will be using it as my primary travel bag for mission trips, etc. Can't wait to try it out.
