Saddleback’s tagline is “They’ll fight over it when you’re dead.” They’re not lying. Saddleback makes their bags with as few seams as possible. They also opt for larger but fewer pieces of leather instead of numerous smaller pieces. All of this contributes towards the strength and durability of their bags.
CONSTRUCTION
The messenger is constructed out of beautiful full-grain leather and stitched with tough polyester thread. The tanning is top-notch – the leather is tanned all the way through rather than just on the surface, as can be seen at the unfinished and unpainted edges.
