You might like to read THIS THREAD. It's not a rucksack per se, but it will give you some ideas of construction techniques.

You know you're hooked on this stuff when you look at something leather and think "I like the design, but that's not how I'd do it". All in all I like the design of this bag, but I hate the strap securement system, and I'm not crazy about the handle or the stitching pattern on the handle straps. Though I am going to borrow the strap pad design I think.

I was thinking that all that hardware at the back of your neck could be quite uncomfortable. Would have to wear it lower to have it stay off your neck and upper back. I think I would attach the shoulder straps where the attachments for the handle are. Of course since I have arthritis in my neck, I have become much more sensitized (pun intended) to this issue. It's got my shoulders too so I'll never wear one, but would like my clients to be comfortable.

Ya, that was my main complaint as well. I don't see a way to arrange that hardware so that it could be comfortable. Either pull the straps out to the sides where the handle attachments are like you said, or put everything on top of the bag so what hits your body is just leather. Or perhaps put the D ring inside the bag and feed the latches through a slot in the back of the bag. I can think of a few ways that would be better then what they did and wouldn't be much more work.
