Needs no introduction. Bought a few years ago from Saddleback. I absolutely love it, but as somebody with several shoulder injuries over the years, a big leather shoulderbag is just not ideal. Admittedly it also converts to a backpack, but it's just not as comfortable for me as a canvas or nylon backpack. :embar:

At any rate, used maybe ~15 times, no signs of wear other than a few scratches, and an extra hole punched through the strap so that I could wear the bag close to my back (See IMG156 of the strap for what I mean). I used a leather hole puncher for that, but it had some trouble with the thickness and strength of the leather and it didn't come out perfectly clean.

  • Medium - 14" (35.6 cm) Wide, 11" (27.9 cm) Tall, 9" (22.9 cm) Deep (regular laptop)
    NOTE: Dimensions are for the outside of the bag. Interior dimensions are ¼” (0.6 cm) less to account for stitching at the seams.
  • Pigskin lined - 6.5 pounds (2.9 kg)
  • Each compartment is 4.5" (11.4 cm) deep
  • Thick double zero continuous filament polyester marine-grade industrial thread
  • Hypoallergenic 4-5 oz. (2-2.2 mm) thick chrome tanned leather
  • Stout rivets at all stress points
  • Handle riveted to metal bar for stiff upper rigidity
  • Only three major seams
  • Shoulder strap is adjustable from 36" (91.4 cm) to 59" (150 cm)
  • Tough pigskin lining or softer suede lining*. Pigskin is the second strongest hide in the world, second to kangaroo.

Retails for $568+ shipping, I'm asking 275 shipped (from Canada) to N. America.

REPUTABLE BUYERS/SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

thanks for looking!
