Our purpose is not to change the world by loving orphans, single moms and ex-prisoners one at a time. It’s to work with a Love 41 community/family of loving and nurturing people to do it. If you want to but you’re not sure how, then join us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to learn more. We’ll help you get plugged in.
Read MoreThis is the 2nd edition of the Thin Front Pocket Leather Backpack with a few changes that I think you'll love. The original backpack was everyone's favorite, and we rarely got a complaint. Still, I made some slight changes that may be overkill, but they're more consistent with our lowest possible seam-feet approach to design.
---This slim leather backpack is still built without breakable parts like zippers, magnets, velcro, or snaps. It is still reinforced at all stress points with hidden polyester straps and strong rivets. At Saddleback Leather Co, we build full grain leather designs that stand the test of time. Breakable parts are things you find in a department store backpack, not here.
---The body of this slim leather backpack is still only built with two big solid pieces of leather, but now all three front pockets of the backpack are all made of just one solid piece of leather. You see, the fewer seams a leather backpack has, the fewer seams there are to start a rip. And not only that, but we only allow 5 stitches per inch of our seams, so there is more leather between holes and, therefore, fewer holes to start a tear. I once interviewed a second-generation sailmaker in New Zealand. He referred to a sewing machine as a perforation machine and said the fewer holes, the stronger the sail. That stuck with me. It's the same with this leather backpack.
---This leather backpack is entirely made of full-grain leather, the strongest and most water-resistant leather. And it's a little thicker than boot leather. We could have saved money, used something less pricey like top grain leather, or saved even more and made a genuine leather backpack. But we didn't worry about the price of the best natural leather. We wanted to make something that would last, so we used the best full grain leather.
---The Thin Front Pocket Leather Backpack has three exterior pockets with a hidden pocket behind them for quick access or for sticking in longer things. The main backpack strap has a hole at the very tip just in case your bag is way, way overstuffed. The shoulder straps have an adjustable and comfortable shoulder pad to distribute the backpack's weight.
I am new to saddleback but I love their products. (Bought 6 in 6 months) You only live once people go for the best !!!

I belong to some wet shaving forums. One of the common phrases is YMMV or your mileage may vary. It implies that it’s a little personal and everybody sees things a bit differently. Here’s my take. I am a member of the SBL fan group on FB. I have also watched several YouTube reviews. In both cases, reviews have raved about the velvety tobacco. This built up my expectation for velvety tobacco. When I received my first bag a week ago, it was much different than what I’ve seen posted to FB and YouTube recently. It was very nice but certainly not velvety. I returned that bag with a request for a velvety tobacco and received the same type of leather I had just returned. It’s very nice, but it’s not velvety. Therefore, I would just caution anyone who has expectations of velvety tobacco to maybe wait this batch out. However, if you don’t want velvety tobacco, I think you could be very pleased. I am giving 3 stars due to poor expectations management and failing to accommodate a very specific request while simultaneously fulfilling the same request for a another member of the FB fan group.

Hi Dave, Too late on the pic. I bought the tobacco for my son for Christmas and he "made out like a bandit" and off to show his buddies, I'm sure. To use his description. It's "Badass", Dad. That's strong for a kid that has had 5 or 6 backpacks already. What's a Dad gonna do? He is 22 and a senior in College, I'm sure that's his description is a good thing! lol Can't wait to order one for me! Pack - Great Smell - Awesome Character - Right up my alley!

Absolutely fantastic bag. Highest quality conceivable. Stoped several times when wearing it to be asked questions about it and that wonderful leather smell. Extremely happy. Superb customer service. Highly recommended.
