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.
Beautiful leather. Solid as a rock. It's gonna last forever.

You know, I actually love this thing. I've traditionally used briefcases, but this has replaced a very expensive Italian briefcase as my everyday carry. Much more convenient, carries everything I need (which is a bunch since I'm in the field a good amount of time and my vehicle has become my second office), and keeps everything handy in a super functional way. Plus, it really looks good. I also own the Indiana satchel in coffee and am now thinking duffel. I wonder, have I developed a Dave's bag fetish? Hmmm. Naw...just filling needs;)

I have purchased so many items from Saddleback the quality with every item I have is amazing and the leather is always beautiful! This backpack is by far my favorite! When you have it loaded it’s so comfortable on your back! It isn’t bulky at all yet it fits everything I need for my day. Amazing job Saddleback! I love it!

An excellent day or light weekend bag. Excellent and useful features include: -buckle to bring the top opening under the flap completely for rain -a laptop pocket which comfortably fits my 13” laptop in sleeve -just enough width to nestle a Little Big Mouth at the bottom below the rest of your pack. -a handle strap which will take the EDC satchel perfectly with total ease of access for both. It also looks stellar out of the box and only gets better from there! Totally satisfied and then some.
