Members joelpete Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 This was my first attempt at a bag/backpack without a pattern. I roughly modeled it after a GoRuck GR1... but had to pattern, so I made my own. This is the third backpack I've made for my kiddos. The smooth leather is all veg-tan and mostly 8-9 oz, the rest is Bison. The entire bag is hand-stitched (some running stitch, done saddle stitch depending on application). Quote
Members SilverForgeStudio Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 What a cool pack! love the red/white/blue velcro threads- what other kid has a 400+ dollar backpack to kick around class in? Very nice indeed- Bravo Quote
Members Double Daddy Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice craftsmanship, indeed! He'll be passing that one down as an heirloom for sure! Quote Have a great day! Chris

Well, since it was my third... his brother and sister... But this one is definitely the nicest one so far. Thank you for the complement! Quote
Members YinTx Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 Absolutely fantastic! Great craftsmaship, beautiful leather combo, and built elegantly but clearly made to last a lifetime. If a backpack could become a best friend, this one would be the one to do it! Would love to see photos of the inside also!

bikermutt07 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Awesome job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members GuitarLeatherDopeFiend Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 That's awesome! Quote
Members Tugadude Posted March 14, 2019 Members Report Posted March 14, 2019 Great job. I especially like the straps with the edge treatment! Quote
