Rider Leather Backpack

Cowhide, cut heavy, with the buckles and the drawcord throat of an old dispatch bag.

This is the weightiest bag in the range and the one that will still be here in twenty years. The hide is thick enough that it holds its shape empty, which is why the shape barely changes when you fill it.

Everything that takes strain — the throat, the flap straps, the handle — is riveted as well as stitched. It was built for people who put a bag on the back of a motorcycle and expect to find it intact.

Why You'll Love It

Heavy leather asks something of you at the start. It arrives stiff, it does not fold where you want it to, and it weighs more empty than a nylon pack weighs full. Carry it for a month and it stops arguing: the throat softens, the flap learns its crease, the straps take your shoulders. What you are buying is the second decade, not the first week.
