Product Story
Welcome to the professional messenger bag that we call “Weekday Warrior”.
Available is a Weekday Warrior Bag which is a messenger style bag cut and produced from full grain vegetable tanned leather of your choice (currently offering English Tan, Brown or Black) with your preference of color thread (we use world-renowned Ritza Tiger Thread). Each bag is made and produced on-site. The entire bag is cut by hand and then also sewn by hand using a traditional method of sewing called the saddle stitch. The saddle stitch method is vastly superior to a machine stitch and uses two needles which interlock the thread at every hole. This creates a stitch that does not unravel if damaged and provides a lifetime product. It takes approximately 30 hours to make one of these bags by hand with well over hundreds in material costs alone.
This professional messenger bag is made for the weekday warrior that has to bring their life with them where they go. If they’re in school, if they’re at work, or if they’re on the go, this bag is made to compensate. It features 2 smaller external side pockets and 1 large external front pocket. The rear exterior zipper pocket fits 13″ computers without any problem or is suited for documents or a tablet. The interior of the bag is a large open space that allows you to store books, documents, large binders, water bottles or other computers without any trouble. The bag features carrying handles for those who prefer to carry their bag, as well as a full-grain leather strap with a shoulder pad. Every opening features a signature tuck lock clasp that allows you easy access to the pockets and main compartment.

Stitching
Stitching Options
We're happy to offer most products in either a hand stitched or machine stitched version. The functionality of both products are top notch, and the type of stitching doesn't affect the usage of it. With that being said, there will be some instances where either one may or may not be offered.
The hand-stitching method is called the saddle stitch, and it is labor intensive process of individually creating holes in the leather and then stitching through the leather with two needles that weave back and forth. The advantage of this is that the stitching locks at every hole, and it looks nice on both sides.
The most common method of stitching is the machine stitch that has an industrial sewing machine run a lockstitch up and down the leather and it pulls a knot into each hole it creates with the needle. It is an extremely effective stitch, as most products today are made with only sewing machines. A good lock stitch will last more than a life time and is good for the duration that the thread is. The advantage is that this process is not labor intensive and the sitches look like we'd expect them to. The disadvantage is that the sitches are not as refined looking as the hand-stitching method.
If you're a first time purchaser, we recommend going with the machine stitched option. The machine stitched option will always be a lower cost to the customer as it doesn't take as much time to produce. If you're the type of person who just likes to change products every few months just because then it gets you in the game for a little bit cheaper. If you're a seasoned veteran with our products or you know leather well, then we recommend the hand-stitched version. Or if you're the type of person where you'll be keeping the wallet for the next few years (or life) then this is the option for you.
