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.
Another winner to add to the collection. Needed a step up bag for settings a smidge more sophisticated than the canvass bag allowed. Really a statement...with all the functionality And quality I’ve come to expect from The Saddleback team. Two comments/questions... one is that although I look forward to the bag “working in” the rigidity and finish are so spot on Im not sure I want it to “age”. The other comment would be the side pocket buckles... I find it somewhat difficult to have that “quick access “ into the pockets for items I need to get at quickly...AirPods , phone, wallet...things I want secure but quick. It may be a thought to use a clasp system like you have on the canvass backpack to speed up that process...not a Complaint...just a thought.

This is my first man-bag and I find it absolutely outstanding. The product is of such high quality that it inspired me to pull the trigger on the pilots bag as well.

Chestnut color came in today and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase, even though it cost a premium (it is worth it). I got compliments from classmates and random people. I am a graduate student and this bag holds about 2-3 books And your laptop. Not too heavy and very comfortable. Probably is the most comfortable bag I’ve ever had. Definitely will buy more products from this company in the futurez
