Like every fashion accessory, us guys have so many choices when it comes to leather bags, such as weekend bags or duffels. Hundreds or brands, styles and price points to choose from. Which one should you buy? How much should you spend? How do you know if you're getting your money's worth?
HUGE thanks to LeDaveed for supporting The Modest Man by sponsoring this video, and for supplying me with one of their awesome travel duffels to use as an example of high quality materials and craftsmanship.

This video should help you make the best possible purchasing decision, but know this:
With clothing and accessories, I believe in buying the highest quality you can afford at the time. This is especially true with leather goods. Cheap stuff will fall apart and have to be replaced, plus it won't feel or look as good. High-quality stuff could last for years or even a lifetime (or longer).
That said, the principles I'm going to talk about in this video apply to any leather bag you might purchase - no matter what brand or price point. No matter your budget, size requirements or aesthetic preferences, you should be on the lookout for the stuff I'm going to cover in this video.
Now if you do have the budget for a high end bag, I recommend buying one, especially if you like to buy stuff that will last a very long time. Trust me, you won't regret it!

The name “genuine leather “ is misleading. I’ve been leather crafting for years, never heard this term from any craftsmen... It might be a marketing thing and this is how they’re calling the bonded leather🤷🏼‍♂️... I would say that besides the grades the main thing to know for a consumer is the difference between veg tan leather and chrome tan leather. Sure there’re many different kinds of each type and each grade. BTW there’re not only two grades that were mentioned in the video

You probably won't see this comment but another vital thing I want to add is to LOOK OUT FOR THE GLUING or the way the handle is constructed. A lot of brands will cut corners by applying a low-quality glue which will eventually fall apart in no time, as shown in your own example. Better yet, if the handles on the bags have the leather tucked under each other and stitched so that there's no glue needed. Thank you so much for the informative tips!

Agreed. 1. The made-in Japan YKK zippers are example of high quality and are used in luxury brand bags and small leather goods including Hermes, Louis Vuitton, etc. 2. Avoid genuine leather because those are the worst type of leather you can find in cow. ;)

I don't care if it's made from genuine leather, so long as it's not faux leather, as I've paid quite the high price for it. Isn't it a no brainer just to put YKK manufactured zippers on the said leather product just to deceive people so as to make them think it's real?

Don’t forget women also like leather bags like these ones. I’m in the market for a good solid leather backpack right now :) one that will last me a lifetime. The 2 I’m interested in particular or either pull up the roots Granville backpack (the roots student pack and central pack are also wonderful) or a saddleback the ones of them that interested me are the squared or front pocket. I recommend checking them out both brands are amazing. Roots will run you 280 and saddle back will run you 500.

Full grain is best, but genuine leather is leather. It is just a different layer. Sometimes it is better to get a small company and have them make you your bag than spend $500 for a messenger bag. There are some great bags out there in the $100 range.

The Modest Man I did have one of those rare moments though of amazing leather and construction but low quality metals. Very outside the norm but while adopting my children in Ethiopia I bought a bag from a local company. I noted the softer brass used but the fullgrain leather was stunning and stitching immaculate! It was a steal at $200 and also had the added benefit of helping support women with HIV and AIDS and help them earn for their families!

Full grain leather is the whole thickness of the hide. Top grain is the hide shaved down and the best part is what's used, they will take the left over and emboss it and call it genuine leather. From what I understand so far. I'm sure I'll hear about it if I'm wrong
@wilsjane
@wilsjane Жыл бұрын
You are generally correct, except that full grain leather is not always the full thickness of the hide, particularly in clothing. If it was, your leather jacket would be as thick and stiff as a pair of DM boots. However, both full and top grain leather is the outer surface of the animal, which like human skin is where all the strength is. While it breathes, it does not soak water up like a sponge. Full grain has the original texture, which varies across the skin, so needs to be matched up on adjoining panels. Top grain is lightly sanded, then may be embossed evenly if required. This makes it the first choice for clothing, which with full grain could end up looking like a patchwork quilt. Needless to say, the quality of the tanning and finishing also makes a huge difference. The health and age of the animal is another important factor. Dairy leather, where the animal is older and carefully fed to produce the milk, is one of the better qualities. You also need to consider what you need a bag for. If you use it when you go on holiday once a year, it is stupid to pay £500 plus, but if you are an airline pilot or flight crew member, it is a different story.

It is actually common to see low grade leather with high quality zippers. Not only that talon and YKK both have high quality zipper quality, just depends on the grade. Shinola has the carryall that has such a supple full grain leather but expensive. The color of that duffel in your video is chocolate like but I would like to see it in bourbon or brown.

Another word of Genuine is Authentic.. The term 'genuine leather' is just a fancy or 'nice to hear' word to represent a layer or part of the leather that doesnt come with full grain layer or top grain layer... If a crafter or seller selling a leather product that made from the lower layer or not so good layer, it would be better to say it is made from genuine leathee., instead of its made from the lower quality leather.. People that doesnt know about this would just buy a genuine leather because genuine is authentic.

That wouldn't of probably be the only thing I'd add to the video.

Always look at the handle. The Best artisan leather bags have a leather strip sewn in, connecting two edges of the handle. Avoid horrible plastic strips glued into the edges of the handle and other parts of the bag where two leather details meet. The plastic will break in no time, leaving the bag looking horrible.

As a leather smith, I can say it means nothing if you have the best hardware with the best leather, if the stitching is of poor quality. Hand stitched items will all ways be superior to machine stitching. Where machine stitches will run if a stitch brakes, it will not happen if the item is hand stitched using saddle stitching.

Better than genuine, not as good as full grain, but perfect for some use cases.

@@deziderziga1484 well not all top grain is created equal. It's like asking "is red wine good?" Depends where it's from, who made it, how much it cost to produce, etc. I'd prefer full grain for any leather goods.

It's interesting that someone reviewing leather products has never heard of bridle leather...? There are many different types of tanning processes, and they produce different types of leather, arguably the best of which is Veg. tan, or vegetable tanning. This uses natural materials such as wood, bark, and other organic matter to tan the leather. Each tannery will have it's own "secret" recipe, but the best ones have been developed over long periods of time. The process does not remove or damage important molecules from the leathers that assist in it's strength and durability (collagen etc.). Veg tanning is a significantly longer process than chrome tanning, and is therefore more costly. Bridle Leather is a type of veg tan that was developed for horse tack (horse bridles) centuries ago and is often "stuffed" with greases and waxes. It is strong and flexible. Some well known/high qualitiy tanneries include Wickett and Craig (USA), Sepici (Turkey), Sedgwick (UK $$$) and many others. If a company doesn't list the leather type and specific tannery it's from, chances are it is not good. There are hundreds of tanneries in Italy...saying it's Italian leather means about as much as saying a wine is French. It could be a cheap house wine, or a bottle of Domaine Romanee Conti. The latter will tell you a lot about the wine, including the region, type of grape etc, where the former may just say red table wine.

you got genuine leather confused with bonded leather... what you said would have been 100% right if you meant bonded leather, but they're two completely different things

+Joe Menendez genuine leather is often misused to describe bonded or pressed leather. There aren’t any regulations around these terms. The point is, avoid genuine leather.

im sick of zips. they break on my adidas snowboarding jacket that cost me £150 or so and then ive bought 2 nikesb RPM back packs as i skateboard and the flipping zippers went again. so im after a black leather flap over top with magnet buttons or tie or buckle as such. not a fucking stupid invention of a zip when others are better.

Why did they go with full grain leather, riri zips and a nylon strap? One corner cut! Frank Clegg is the way to go if you want no corner cutting.
