   When I opened the box, the rucksack was very well sealed in plastic and firmly in place. The buckles were wrapped in plastic as well to prevent them, I expect, from damaging the bag. The smell was normal for 'new leather', and not unpleasant to my sense of smell. The leather seems to be in very good condition and the rivets appear to be firmly in place. I am overall very pleased with this product. I have yet to carry a laptop or something equivalent with this, but should I have something change, I will add to the review.

   We've had this bag for a few months and its an excellent product for the price. My wife loves it and has gotten compliments from day one. For those that think it is too stiff. The stiffness is a good thing, it implies sturdy quality leather that will stand up to years of use, it will soften up over time. It is a pack not a coat or purse. If it was made of soft purse or coat leather it would rip apart in short order. Believe me it is nothing like top grain cow hide, like the motorcycle saddle bags I have, nor does it need to be. The leather is a good balance of sturdy and supple built to last for years.

   Used this bag for a long international trip and it held so much stuff it’s ridiculous. The more you use it the softer the bag becomes and then you can put more in it. You could take this bag and this bag alone on a week long trip and not need anything else. Weather resistant and stylish,I got a million comments about it. Love it. Great buy.

   This is a well crafted bag for the price point. My main concern with backpacks is their lack of inner pockets and this bag has great organizational pouches that are insulated. Put a pair of raybans in one of the cushioned inner pockets because i forgot my case and they were well protected!

   This is a really neat pack, and I have already received several compliments. And the leather smells great, too! One thing that I would change: I think the straps could be a bit shorter, as I am not crossing them as shown in the photo. I find it easier to do a vertical buckling.Minor quibbles all. I'm very happy!

   This is a great bag and I get compliments on it wherever I go. The color is beautiful and distresses well, and the leather is nice and stiff which provides excellent support for my laptop. The shoulder straps are comfortable. There are a few issues: it needs to be broken in a bit and I had to add some extra hole punches to the straps in order to get it to close tightly. There are some inconsistencies in the leather in the shoulder straps and one has stretched out further than the other as I've used it - again, addressed with new hole punches. Also: this is more of a cosmetic issue than a functional one, but the top doesn't really roll up like is shown in the photo. It folds over more than it rolls. It still looks good, but if you are going for the rolled look you may be disappointed. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase.

   The stitching and reinforcements are good and the hasps are sturdy, good quality build and very good price. I looked foe 2 days and narrowed it down to a short list. The bag has no padding, but I did not expect it to.

   Received in expected condition, promptly. The bag wasn’t as stiff as other reviewers noted, however, it did have a fairly freshly tanned smell. This is easily remedied if you’ve ever owned anything leather in your life, or you could just air it out for a day or two and let it resolve itself. This isn’t uncommon with real leather products. The more you use them the better they are imo.

   Purchased this as a gift for my husband. He loves it! Great quality stitching & very thick leather. I was a little weary due to the low price and lack of reviews and customer pics, but this bag absolutely exceeded my expectations! Confident that it will last for years to come!

   Love it! This is a very well made and sturdy bag. It's definitely something I get complimented on quite often. It seems too look better with more wear and tear. It smells like new leather when you first get and its very tough. I love it, the unique roll at the top to close it, Its a bad ass bag and it will fit a lot of contents.
