The Stone-Washed Rucksack is an exclusive design inspired by vintage military 'Rucksacks' made in the 1940's-60's. The rounded base, bound flap and leather drawstring closures are all features common in those styles. We added our own design details such as a leather internal laptop sleeve, a hanging utility pocket, leather drawstring riveted caps and wide, double layered guitar-style shoulder straps, to name a few.This LIMITED EDITION version is made from two amazing Horween vegetable-tanned leathers that are stone-washed in Los Angeles, CA after construction. The Horween 'Essex' leather is a 5/6 oz. leather and weaccent the bags with Horween horsehide straps and trim for durability. Both leathers are a true 100% vegetable tanned leather in a natural color.The Essexis lightly bleached to give it a pure, clean natural color and the horsehide is a natural color that becomes more of a tan when washed and oiled.
finished with solid- brass Italian hardware and is completely leather lined throughout. The stone-washing gives each rucksack its own authentic and unique appearance. You can read more about the stone-washing below. The entire process is proudly American made. We start with leather tanned at the Horweentannery in Chicago, Il to the design and construction at our San Diego, California leather shop. After the bags are completed, they are stone-washed in done in Los Angeles, California.
