Design of the EDC Satchel

The design of this satchel was inspired by the need for an everyday carry bag that is unbreakable and can be easily carried. This is a full grain leather satchel, which is the best leather you can get. The clips are sewn and riveted to the leather satchel instead of the shoulder strap, allowing it to be attached to a briefcase or other container for easy carrying. The leather toggle and loop closure are also designed for quick and easy one-handed use. I designed this man bag to keep my pockets empty while driving, sitting in restaurants, and walking in strange places. I carry my Leatherman Tool in the bottom, and on top of it, I put my wallet, phone, and then my keys on the top. Finally, there's a slim back pocket for my Field Notes, pen, and a plane ticket.

Unbreakable Satchel

This leather satchel is over-engineered with no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, buttons, etc., and is reinforced with polyester straps and rivets at all stress points. It's built with just two main pieces of leather, so there are fewer seams, and we sew at only five stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear.

A Satchel That Clips On

The clips are sewn and riveted to the leather satchel instead of the shoulder strap so the satchel can clip to the handle or side d-rings of my briefcase or backpack to make it into an exterior pocket. This is a wonderful feature when you go somewhere with your briefcase or another leather bag with d-rings and your satchel. The clips are also spaced perfectly for belt loops if you want to clip it to your pants instead of using the shoulder strap.

Cross Body Strap

The cross body strap is adjustable from 47.5"- 63.5" and can be worn over the shoulder or across the body. It's made of 0.75" wide full grain leather, so you know it will be just as strong as all of our other designs. And in an emergency, you can always remove it and use it for any other purpose for which you might use a long leather strap.

Materials in This Satchel

The materials in this satchel include full grain leather, pigskin lining, German thread, 316 stainless steel hardware, and a cowhide strap. Full grain leather is like boot leather but thicker. The pigskin lining is stronger than cow leather. The German thread is more expensive and UV resistant than the cheap nylon thread used in most satchels. The 316 stainless steel hardware is the highest quality and most durable option available. Finally, the cowhide strap is adjustable and can be worn over the shoulder or across the body.

Full Grain Leather Satchel

Our cow leather is full grain leather and thicker than boot leather. The top layer of a leather hide is where the grain lives. The grain on leather is like shingles on a roof. Low to mediocre quality companies shave off the grain to get rid of the scars of the hide. They save a ton of money that way. But they're shaving off the leather's toughest and most resistant part. What would you think if someone shaved the shingles off of your roof?

Satchel Lining

Our pigskin lining is stronger than cow leather, and that's why we can offer the 100 Year Warranty. I think it's a better lining than some shiny nylon fabric with a neat world map. You can see the map on your phone, but if you want a material that will last, that is what the pigskin offers. It is also a lighter brown color making it even easier to see inside your satchel in lower lighting conditions.

Thread in the Satchel

The German thread is abnormally strong and far more expensive than the cheap nylon version. But it's the kind of thread you'll want if your life depends on this satchel staying together. You'll be able to tell the story later as opposed to if your bag was made of a lesser thread. It's a marine grade UV resistant polyester thread that they use to sew parachutes, sails, etc. They don't use this thread on mass-produced imports because it's too expensive. It's just another thing that makes our satchels the most durable in the world.

Hardware

We designed our own custom clasps and d-rings. Using 316 Stainless Steel hardware. Yes, I understand this is like killing a fly with a shotgun, but we NEVER have a problem with it. It's the metal of choice if your life depended on it. So if your life ever depends on a satchel, this is the satchel that you'll want.

Functionality of This Satchel

This Everyday Carry Satchel has all the functionality you could want to carry your essentials in. We thought of everything from the adjustable shoulder strap to the easy access opening to the front pocket.&&One thing to note is that this new EDC Leather Satchel will not clip onto the older hardware (the non-stainless steel hardware - Pre 2016). This is because the new stainless steel clips do not fit over the thicker old hardware. We just had to put that out there since our designs last so long, and many people come to us with our older models.

What all can fit in the satchel?

So you are not going to fit a laptop or a bicycle in this satchel, but with the dimensions of 6.5" by 8.5", you shouldn't have a problem fitting an iPhone or Samsung in it. With that, you might keep your wallet, keys, and possibly your passport and boarding pass. You might even get some other accessories into it, such as your charging cord. Of course, a traditional satchel is not designed to hold many things but just your essentials, so you don't have to load your pockets down.

Tell A Story With Your EDC Satchel

You will love this EDC Leather Satchel for its beauty, durability, and functionality and because it tells a story. This is not a cheaply made bag that was made in a factory overseas by someone you will never know, and it was not made to last just a season or two. Instead, this EDC Leather Satchel was made to last generations. It was made with the highest quality materials available, and it will show its character as it ages.

I have an older bag and it doesn't clip to it (which I knew before I bought it...that would have made it perfect.

Very well made hunk of

Very well made hunk of leather. I carry my wallet, keys, multi tool, iPhone max in it. Strap and clips maybe a little purse-like so I don’t use that. I use more like an essential carry all to throw in the truck.

Quality

Everything I have purchased from Saddleback is absolutely the greatest quality and will certainly last longer than I will. It's strong and does what I need. A quick grab as I go out the door. It holds my phone, wallet and miscellaneous items.
