During my tenure here at The Gadgeteer, I have had the good fortune to review many high-quality bags and accessories from around the world, many of them leather and handmade by artisans from Italy to Argentina. I have taken a critical look at so many bags, I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of sorts. I really do not mind joining my wife, sister, or various gal-pals when they go shopping for high-end bags. Most of the time I find mass produced, trendy-bling bags, while very expensive, not nearly as nice or well made as a Colonel best time to buy europe air fare tickets Littleton or Saddleback Leather Company  equivalent. That said, when Julie offered up several LederMann leather bags, I was interested since I had never heard of their company or seen any of their products.  Curiosity got the better of me and I volunteered to review their  Extra Large Bridle Leather Travel Bag .
I have to admit, that when I first viewed the LederMann website and saw pictures of their products, the main thought that came to my mind was Saddleback best time to buy europe air fare tickets wannabes . Where Elizabeth and Smythe have not reviewed any Saddleback products before, their reviews of the LederMann briefcase and LederMann Camera Bag , respectively, focused on the bags themselves. I will not only be discussing/reviewing the LederMann Extra Large Bridle Leather best time to buy europe air fare tickets Travel Bag, but comparing its craftsmanship, finish, and details to other bags and manufacturers in the same upper-end price category.
At first, I didn’t really best time to buy europe air fare tickets think that it was leather, as advertised – full grain bridle, buffalo skin leather, best time to buy europe air fare tickets with thickness of leather used: 6oz – 7oz (2.6mm thickness). There is no distinct leather smell that I’m used to with my other bags.  There also is no leather feel, but a more plastic, waxy surface.  The outside of the bag is quite smooth, best time to buy europe air fare tickets but not pliable.
Compared to the leather Saddleback or Colonel Littleton uses in their bags, the Ledermann thick full grain bridle leather is second rate at best. The only thing positive I can say about it is that it is thick and (appears to be) tough. Other than that it feels cheap with poor finish to it.
Materials: best time to buy europe air fare tickets Leather: Thick Full Grain Bridle Leather Leather thickness: 6 – 7 oz (2.4 mm – 2.6 mm) Hardware: Heavy-duty Black Gun Metal Thread: Heavy-duty Nylon Thread Lining: Polyester Stout rivets at all stress points Bottom best time to buy europe air fare tickets studs for extra protection
Design Features: Measurement: 21 W x 12 H x 10 D Inch Wide opening for ease packing/unpack Security Straps/Closure – 3 security leather straps with heavy-duty press-locks Handle: best time to buy europe air fare tickets Leather handle made of leather construction that creates a smooth and comfortable experience Shoulder Strap shoulder best time to buy europe air fare tickets pad: Adjustable and removable leather shoulder strap from 44 55 inch length. 1.5 inch wide leather shoulder strap with a leather shoulder pad for extra comfort Front pocket: 17 W x 9 H x 2 D Inch – with 2 security leather straps with buckle closure Back pocket: 1 large zipped back pocket Outer Side Pocket: Covered pocket each a side with buckle closure Inner pockets: 2 open pockets for cards, tickets, bill, notes and etc. 1 rear zipper pocket Key strap: 1 leather best time to buy europe air fare tickets key strap/ key chain attached from the inner of the bag Inner: 2 adjustable and removable nylon strap for secure packing
The Extra Large Bridle Leather Travel Bag is very large, bulky, and heavy. It measures 21 W x 12 H x 10 D and weighs a whopping 10+ lbs empty. But I guess that should be expected considering the Extra Large in its name.
Being so large, the Bridle Leather Travel Bag definitely enables best time to buy europe air fare tickets you to carry a great deal of items within. It can easily hold a week s worth of clothes best time to buy europe air fare tickets and running gear. But the real issue is the total weight of the bag when full. With all of my travel stuff, the bag weighs in at a hefty 40+ lbs. Without best time to buy europe air fare tickets wheels, this is definitely a burden best time to buy europe air fare tickets to lug around.
The interior lining is a nicely done pinstriped polyester that s decently stitched and finished. There are two open pockets for cards, tickets, bill, notes, etc., and a single zippered pocket on the rear interior of the bag.
All the points of stress are not only stitched but reinforced with metal rivets. This picture not only illustrates the mediocre leather, but as you can see, the lack of detail in the (less than straight) stitching. This level of just ok at best quality and workmanship is throughout the bag. Bottomline:
The LederMann Extra Large Bridle Leather Travel Bag is a big, roomy piece of luggage. But to be blunt, its leather quality and craftsmanship are lackluster. Add in its bulky form factor and significant weight when full, and I would not recommend this bag. While its heavy-duty black gunmetal hardware is nice, much of the stitching is not straight, and at $630 I expect higher quality, more akin to the  Saddleback Waterbag . At just 10-20% more, the Saddleback Waterbag is a much better bag and has more bang for the buck on all fronts. The Gadgeteer best time to buy europe air fare tickets Kid is into the phrase meh recently, and that is what comes to my mind when I think about this bag. I definitely would not look twice at it when out and about.
It s nice to see the bag here but your review best time to buy europe air fare tickets does not really do the justice about the quality of the leather. I have the same bag, bought from their website bout 3 4 months ago. The leather is very thick, heavy duty, soft and smooth finish, and the best part is this bag is HUGE and spacious. I travel a lot and this bags fits well square and wide opening allows me to fit all my stuffs easily for travel including my laptop. Quite pricey but it s worth. Not much breakin in looks yet. Bag is quite heavy when loaded but is fine for me and I prefer all my stuffs in one bag instead of multiples bags so I got free hand to hold my wife
