The Ultimate Satchel & Page Review | Bags, Backpack, Jacket, and More

[@Stridewise]

Check out these guys and their bags! stridewise.com/satchel-page-bags/ Also, I sized up on the jacket - I'm usually L but I got XL

[@mystergoode]

Can you do a full review on the jacket? You’re fantastic at showing it off and getting into all the details

[@NaturesSoothingSoundscapes]

I love Satchel & Page. I have the double zipper briefcase and the suede jacket. I get constant compliments on both. The patina on the briefcase is amazing.

[@weightupmountainguy]

I have been a dedicated minimalist for about 7 years now. You are reminding me of my love for leather clothes and bags. This may be the beginning of a healthy problem hahaha.

[@SlimPeters-yt2uk]

I purchased the Weekender / Diplomat set from them in July 2021 and they are aging beautifully. Hoping to add one of their jackets to my collection this winter. Great video, gents!

[@laxmitty21]

Finally, I was looking for some good reviews on Satchel and Page. Got all in one here!

[@Stridewise]

Haha here I was worried no one would care about this video

[@dasphoenixable]

Is Satchel and Page the best quality bags money can buy? No, but for the money the value is hard to beat. The leather is great and they have the quality to last a lifetime. At this point I own the mailbag, weekender, and the shave kit. I have the phone case on order and I have my eye on a few other items. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

[@patrickmiao1698]

That mailbag is pretty cool as well as that weekend bag.

[@davepaek5014]

YES!! My daily work bag is a S&P diplomat briefcase. I also own their padfolio and two belts.

[@Stridewise]

hell yeah

[@davepaek5014]

@@Stridewise this video makes me want to buy more S&P products!

[@adampilarski7083]

Great review of Satchel and Page and I appreciate the excitement! I’m definitely getting a Gladstone.

[@Stridewise]

Kickass! tell 'em Nick and Troy sent ya

[@ARTICFR0ST]

I was looking into a nice leather weekender bag. There site is so good and all their weekender bag are similar in size. Im 25, what looks professional but not overkill between the Weekender, Pilot Bag, or gladstone? Mostly for business trips and vacation

[@navy4735]

I have the map bag, LOVE IT. Use it every single day...a good company as well. they take care of the customer.

[@ellencausey6864]

Thanks Guys I just Bought my Husband a new Bag! Also got him a Wallet,Money clip,Cellphone case & magnetic card clip for the case! I came across the Montgomery jacket I really want to purchase it for him! All of S&P is really nice I may buy myself a bag.

[@PaulAndBiscuit]

Are you guys receiving any form of payment from Satchel and Page? There are many complaints about these bags on Reddit citing shoddy workmanship and exaggerated marketing claims.

[@davey_davey_dave]

Well thought-out and detailed video as always Nick. Unfortunately, now I sense my wallet potentially taking a beating...

[@heiner71]

No worries, they also sell wallets.

[@Stridewise]

I'm the enemy of many men's wallets (and wives)

[@d4gibsons]

Please review the Port 3.0 - or, share any thoughts you may have... thx!

[@mattneal-v7f]

What size is the bomber jacket in? Definitely want one but not sure what size to order. Im 6'2" 180 pounds. These jackets run small so for my frame a large might be too small. Is he wearing an XL or a Large?

[@Stridewise]

I'm an XL in Satchel & Page jacket! I'm usually an L, so I sized up. I'm about 10lb heavier than you but you're also 2" taller so go with XL.

[@southernbenz2098]

What’s the next step in quality above Satchel & Page? Would that be Shinola?

[@Stridewise]

Nah I like them better than Shinola. For these kinds of bags, Frank Clegg would be the ceiling: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nLgat-qNyibqs

[@MOEGallery-i8v]

Love the video boys! Very informative :) One question: Where did you get the green shirt from Nick, I love it!

[@Stridewise]

Hey thanks! It's Taylor Stitch's Yosemite. Don't think they do that color anymore :( I'd give it to you but I already gave it away haha

[@MOEGallery-i8v]

@@Stridewise it looks great! Hahaha thanks! Your wardrobe must be an ever-changing masterpiece 🤣 (One in, one out, one in, one out)

[@googeluser7098]

I like bark/oak/veg tan leather but using it for a travel bag or boots is kinda silly. You can’t get it wet, it’s not very strong, it requires much more care. For stiffeners in a bag or boot it’s fine but I think most people buy it because it’s expensive and they think veg means it’s good for the environment or for animals. Nice bag if you only travel to California when it’s not raining.

[@tedgorman12]

A couple of years after he initially reviewed the mail bag and I finally bought it. Its beautiful. The leather is so nice and the style is top notch. There is one problem and it drives me NUTS that Nick didn't mention it under the cons section of the review. I DETEST the handle not being on the top of the bag. I love the look and style, but carrying it by the handle, the bag always feels lopsided. Not sure that breaking it in will even help with that. I never would've anticipated that the handle placement could so adversely affect my enjoyment of a well-constructed bag. It's so bad, I am looking to sell it or give it as a gift to someone that wont be driven crazy by this fatal flaw. But man the leather is nice.

[@davidpalmer9014]

I bought a Cravar bag on your recommendation a couple years ago, with the idea I'd return to the office someday. But I'm fully remote, so I don’t have many chances to use it. Very nice bag, though.

[@Stridewise]

The good thing about Cravar is they're so good as casual bags too! Also I did a video with them in Indonesia, keep an eye out if I ever get around to editing the enormous amount of Indonesia footage I have

[@gabepaz2640]

Hilarious 6 hours ago I looked up leather bag vids and now in my inbox this vid comes😂

[@Stridewise]

that's why i posted it, i saw you searching Gabe!

[@Crazy_Joe_Davola]

Have the airlines ever told you the Gladstone is too big for carry-on??

[@charlielarobis6621]

I recently purchased the black backpack after owning the original brown version for several years. I noticed that the black version is substantially slimmer and smaller capacity compared to the brown one. I informed S&P of the observation and I was told by customer service that they had since updated the dimensions-definitely much smaller than the original. I wish they had informed customers on the product page that the newer black version has less capacity/volume. The brown one is my go to when traveling due to its capacity, thinking the black is the same so I purchased it. I'm very disappointed that S&P changed the size. Just wanted to share this info.

[@karmagrace2877]

Thank you for the heads up, was thinking about purchasing the brown backpack for my son as his flying personal item. Will ask about capacity before placing that order

[@carsonnguyen4423]

Noticed that the backpack color does not match the website color compared to older reviews like the kavalier guy’s channel. His backpack has that rich darker mahogany color where as the one in this video looks like a brown saddle color..

[@kle2217]

Is the leather for these soft and do they age and patina nicely?

[@Stridewise]

it does patina nicely but it's not soft - not at first, it needs a good amount of use first

[@carsonnguyen4423]

This sounds like a sponsored video. Did you guys receive all of this for free or discounted ?

[@Stridewise]

no, all of Troy's products he paid full price for, and the video was his idea because he likes them so much

[@richardwright4456]

What is the size of the jacket you are wearing ?

[@Stridewise]

Good question, I'm usually a Large but the jacket is XL on me

[@darrenhall7454]

I was one that made it to end… and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m looking at my worn cheap rucksack I use for work and thinking I should really invest in a quality leather bag.

[@Stridewise]

Grateful you stayed til the end Darren! I'm really amazed how often I use the leather backpack, it goes with everything

[@666Necropsy]

when is there a time for chrome tanned leather?

[@Stridewise]

chrome tanned leather is softer and more flexible, so (for the average person) it's more comfortable for boots and jackets than veg tan. It's also usually more water resistant.

[@southernbenz2098]

You’ll want chrome tanned leather for most apparel applications because it’s very supple. It’s not nearly as tough as the heavy oiled leathers, but you wouldn’t want to make a pair of fine driving gloves or women’s miniskirt out of anything but chrome tanned leather.

[@666Necropsy]

@@southernbenz2098 @Stridewise @Stridewise appreciate the tips on use cases.

[@habl00pep]

As far as the jackets go, I like big, short and boxy because I am. Being built like a muscly Celtic Scottish post box restricts. Which is why I like vintage American stuff (vintage Scottish stuff can be tiny, Scot’s Irish were poor n tiny 🙃)

[@Stridewise]

Hahah! Their montgomery jacket would be good for you, the flight jacket maybe less so stridewise.com/satchel-page-montgomery-jacket-review/

[@mitkuy]

Lovely

[@jasonneman6164]

I have the carry all bag and its so heavy, not an easy bag to carry around at all. Unfortunately.

[@notthatproud7453]

I’ve looked at their stuff before and it’s interesting, but the brand name is weird to me. Satchel and Page is just too close to Satchel Paige, the famed pitcher for the Kansas City Monarchs. I wish I understood how they picked this brand name and whether they considered the similarity. I acknowledge that this is kind of a strange thing to find off putting, but I can’t be the only one.

[@Stridewise]

It is a funny name isn't it! Someone commented on my site that they refuse to buy them because they found it disrespectful haha. Maybe Daniel (founder) just likes Satchel Paige

[@DogStar84]

Makes name easy to remember . I assumed they did it on purpose

[@MohammadRauf1]

The gladstone is nice but you lose space in the bottom and top corners, by the hinges ... those are not functional corners unfortunately. As a result you lose that entire line which is a bummer.

[@Bryen12]

Buffalo Jackson is perfect too

[@WaelAKamel]

Big con is Satchell and Page has insane customs and shipping to EU 😭😭

[@atl3630]

I’ve ordered two bags from S&P and both went back immediately. Zero quality control. Hell, one was covered in leather spew, which is the death of quality leather and they told me it was natural and would go away with time. Nonsense, leather spew is evidence that the bag was in extreme environments and started spewing the fats in the leather. You can’t fix it. That was not cool.

[@blakelauterbach4560]

Just so you guys know, this hits like a paid advertisement and does not feel very objective

[@Stridewise]

aw but we emphasized that we bought a lot of them with our own money, we really just like them

[@PaulAndBiscuit]

@@Stridewiseso some were free in other words. What are the negatives of these bags?

[@Stridewise]

@@PaulAndBiscuit vegetable tanned leather isn't always great in the rain, and some bags like the Mailbag are low on features, some guys would prefer more zippered pockets (they're avoided sometimes because that counts as a breakable part)

[@PaulAndBiscuit]

@@Stridewisewhat do you make of the fairly significant number of complaints online. In particular stitching that falls apart and leather colour that is nothing like what is shown on the website.

[@ld7599]

Troy kinda sounds like a slow speaking Ben Shapiro

[@johnparkerzabala]

Welcome back🫡 hopefully if possible boot socks would be also a great info video thanks so much🙏

[@Stridewise]

You know I really like Red Wing's! Smartwool and Darn Tough also good. But I do really need a proper roundup with extra entries: stridewise.com/best-boot-socks
