Good but could it be better?

I swapped out my small field bag (from another well known US made bag maker) for this satchel. I prefer waxed cotton and the size was better—a tad larger. I like the 2 full and magnetic snaps for quick access vs a leather buckle (that I never closed).

The satchel also has better small item organization inside. However, I had to remove a few seams to create larger pockets because all of them were too narrow and didn’t offer a lot of variety.

Lastly, why the strap doesn't use removable swivel clasp hardware is beyond me. Now I’m either having to buy a new strap and cut off the old one (wasteful) or I have or get my own hardware and make my own modifications (hassle to do it right). I’d also prefer a 1” wide strap vs a .75”.

I can see now why you sell straps separately, but my having to cut and waste both a strap and pad seems illogical.

Great little bag

Love it, only complaints being I wish it was a heavier weight canvas, and a longer shoulder strap

Quality Piece

The previous reviews cover the undeniable quality of material and craftsmanship. My suggested changes include: change the pen slot area to accommodate a smartphone-sized item (plenty of room to still keep a couple pen slots); make the strap a bit longer and wider for better weight distribution; use swivel attachments for the strap (the strap gets twisted too easily); omit the the magnetic closure (it seems like a design afterthought).

Despite the snarky title I love the satchel and will be using it in lieu of my formal brief case Well made and “manly”. Is this the bag in Indiana Jones?
