Design of the Leather Tool Bag

This leather tool bag was inspired by an old fashioned leather doctor's bag I found in New Mexico. It was well broken in and absolutely gorgeous. Even though it will arrive beautiful and functional, this leather tool bag will be the ugliest the first day you own it. That is what you get with full-grain leather; it improves with age. For Doctors and craftsmen. Also used as a first aid kit.&&Note: This bag WILL NOT fit a laptop or iPad of any size except for an iPad Mini. These bags are great for organizing and carrying old-school analog items like tools, medical equipment, art, or sewing supplies and accessories. This gives you easy access with a classic look.

Materials in our Leather Tool Bags

Like all other Saddleback designs, our Leather Tool Bag has the best materials to go along with the quality craftsmanship. We are in the business of over-engineering, our leather designs are made to be passed down to the next generation. Let me tell you more about what goes into these tool bags so you can discover why it is known as the best.

Full Grain Leather

Our leather tool bags are made of the strongest cow leather there is because it still has the full amount of grain. Every hide comes with what is called "grain", the toughest and most water resistant fibers of the whole hide. But cowhides come thick, so the tannery splits them in half at the tannery. The top half is the toughest because it has all of the grain still on it, and the bottom half has been neutered. The bottom half is called Split or Genuine leather and also suede. If you find a really inexpensive tool bag or doctor's bag, that's why. If you're going to get one, get a quality one. Removing all of the grain from a leather hide is like removing the shingles from your roof. How sad is that? Oh, and our leather is a little thicker than work boot leather.

---

Lining

Because there are often sharp tools inside tool bags, we lined it with tough, rugged pigskin, which is actually stronger than cow skin its same thickness. And it looks perfect.

---

Thread

Not only do we sew this leather tool bag with as few seams as possible, but we sew it with a UV resistant continuous filament Polyester thread instead of cheap Nylon thread. The good and bad of Polyester is it never deteriorates. Good for thread, bad for clothing and sheets. BTW, did you know that people don't sleep as well if they have Polyester in their bedding, and Polyester clothing gives a lot of people skin problems? But when it comes to thread, Polyester will provide you with a lifetime of greatness. And then we use the thick German double ought thread.

---

Hardware

It's kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but we developed our own custom hardware for our leather bags. If you talk to a metallurgist and tell them we use 316 Stainless Steel, they'll gasp and then tell you we're lying. It is expensive and kind of overkill, but we have never had a single issue with our hardware failing. So if your life had to depend on a hardware, let it depend on ours. The clasps that clip onto the body of this leather tool bag are rated for 750 lbs.

Functionality

The Big Mouth Tool Bag Gladstone opening is much wider at the top than at the bottom, so it's easy to sort and find things. And the lining is beige, reflecting light, so things are easily seen. Full-length pigskin pockets on both sides, with an extra layer of 3 smaller internal pockets on one side. Two leather pull tabs make the tool bag easy to open for a quick view and easy access. Handles are rolled and sewn for comfortable carry.

---

Reinforced Tool Bag

Anywhere there is stress, it gets stitching, a rivet, and usually, a reinforcing hidden Polyester strap sewn. We don't know what items you plan to stock your tool bag with, so we built it like you are interested in filling it with a load of lead weights. We created it to be as strong as possible, as still be a sign of class in the design.

---

Large Pieces

This leather tool bag is designed with only one large piece of leather for the body and one piece on each end. Seams are where tool bags start falling apart, so we designed this doctor's bag with as few as possible.

---

Stitching

We set our industrial sewing machines to sew only five stitches per inch to get the needle holes as far apart as possible. That's important because a sewing machine is also a perforation machine, and when the holes are too close together, the leather tends to tear easily. As a result, this leather tool bag is stronger than anything you need it to carry.

King of Lunch Bags!

I have the simple toiletry bag for small lunch and water bottle, perfect for short days. Now I have this beauty for my Stanley master series 20oz hot coffee now, then lunch, and a Stanley master series small food container for iced coffee later…and snacks and water bottle. Yes, this is the greatest lunch bag of all time.

Yes, it is!

Handle design is on point. Comfortable to grip. No awkwardness-even with the bag held at an "off" angle. Substantial, not at all sparing. Color- Double Coffee Brown. Need I say more? Quality- I've watched some YouTube pundits savage SLCo's products. Yes it's chromexcel; yes the design's not for everyone. But so what, so what, so what! Let's face facts here: the bag's gonna outlast us; it's gonna age well (sorry veg. tan fans!). Most of all, when I accompanied my friend to a Gucci boutique, all eyes where on my bag. Attendant spent more time asking about my bag than convincing my companion to buy one of their's! 'Nuff said.

Beautiful Tool bag that should last a life time unless it

Beautiful Tool bag that should last a life time unless it gets stolen from me. Craftsmanship is seriously top notch better than coach better than Frye. I can tell that this bag will seriously last me my whole life. Unless it gets stolen from me or I stupidly loose it. I do wish it had the option to add a shoulder strap. Wondering if It would fit in the Doctor duffle bag. Its a good tool bag for your go to tools but it is a little small for all my tools. thinking it would be great if this could fit in the dr duffle. that way I can use the doctor duffle for the rest of my tools.
