Great bag but would have loved if the backside was matte like the front.

Fantastic bag

I absolutely love this bag. I got the grizzly leather and it looks, feels, and smells amazing. Build quality is amazing as expected. Stitching and riveting is very tidy looking. Two things I’d change if I could: another pen pocket, and a detachable strap. Still 10/10, you won’t regret it!

Great Bag

I love my bag. Dimensions are great, i can carry documents, small thermos of coffee andlunch. Not sure I am in love with finish of bag. On the back of the bag the surface is polished while the rest of the bag is not. it will take dome time for both areas of the bag to look the same.

Love my new bag!

The detail inside the bag is great. Ordering was easy. Quality is very good. Looking forward to many years of travel with the bag!

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER BAG

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your bag, letting it develop it's own beautiful patina over time. However, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible, like the bottom of the bag. For the distressed leather that we use, you can also spread the oils around and smooth them out a bit with heat from a hair dryer.
