This is a thing of great beauty. It is soft, supple and smells wonderful. Just a delight to use.
The side pocket leather duffel is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Although I have three other Saddleback travel bags this article fits the bill with a design that I like, that I am familiar with, and that I have used most often. In 1980 I purchased a Jansport Dacron bag (a garish blue – it seems it was before they invented black Dacron!) that had pockets on the ends with a top zipper closure to the main compartment. Although it is about half the height of the Saddleback side pocket leather duffle, its design was exactly what I needed, and it saw constant use for almost 40 years. I have now retired the Jansport (relegated to my truck and filled with hunting clothes and other paraphernalia) replacing it with my recently purchased side pocket leather duffle. I just wish you had been around and offered this leather duffle 20 or 30 years ago, when I might have had a chance to outlive half of your warranty! I look forward to using the side pocket leather duffle (appreciating the increase in size and expected durability), but it is much too good looking for me to give it the abuse I gave my other bag. However, I expect the patina of the leather to really shine. It is a fine piece of craftsmanship.
My wife and I both purchased side pocket duffles 7 years ago and we have used them extensively traveling across the country after our retirement. Never have we been dissatisfied with the look, quality or performance of this luggage. I’ve had more than a half dozen comments on how nice it looks. Once, as I was departing an airplane, a pilot asked where I got such a nice bag. Side pocket duffles are very rugged and simply “get the job done in style”.
I work in a hard industry. Almost all of my gear gets beaten, tossed, dropped, scuffed up. I've destroyed a lot of work bags and luggage. So far I've had this bag for 4 years and I've done nothing to care for it other than rub it down with boot conditioner maybe once a year if I remember it. and so far, nothing. No dings, no snags, no busted threads, no problems. It's hard as a brick and just as tough. I mean yeah, it's a heavy damn bag. But when you put half a cow into one piece of luggage that's what you'll get. It was my second piece of saddleback leather and I plan on getting another soon. Zero complaints.
Amazing!!! So well done. So much attention to details. It’s so beautiful, I want to put it in the living room on my coffee table to show it off. If you purchase this duffle bag, you will not be disappointed. It’s not a duffle bag but a work of art.
