Introduction to The Tank
There are backpacks and leather backpacks! Inside the leather backpacks, there are some that are willing to outlive us. This is the case of The Tank, the powerful backpack from Saddleback Leather, and, without a doubt, the best leather backpack in the world!
Made with full-grain leather (the most resistant, even to water), for its production, only the thickest version is used, which is also lined with pigskin (more resistant than cowhide) and sewn with German marine-grade polyester thread (it does not deteriorate in the sun like nylon). All the fittings of the backpack are surprisingly made of custom AISI 316 stainless steel .
The Tank features a top handle, 6 well-thought-out pockets, 4 D-rings to hold blankets, boots, etc… and its (ultra-resistant) straps have a shoulder pad .
Price: $659.00
The Tank, information
Description
The Tank is the fourth edition of the Squared (square) leather backpack and has been refined to what it is now. The new version is a bit taller and thinner, although, as its nickname (The Tank) suggests, it’s oversized.
The new version is made with only 2 pieces of leather, which means fewer seams and therefore less risk of breakage. Only 5 stitches are sewn per inch (2.54 cm.), in this way, there is more skin between the needle holes.
To make the best full-grain leather backpack, the thickest version of this leather is used, which is otherwise the most resistant to abrasion and water in existence.
The result of observation and wise reflection are their pockets, their location and their size. To house, without problems, 1 or 2 laptops on the front or back. Inside and outside side pockets even allow you to carry longer things.
It is really interesting to place, in its 4 inner corners, Stainless steel rings. 316 D-shaped that allow you to hold an endless number of things: tripods, blankets, boots, etc…
It’s big but not pretentious and built to last. It is a perfect size and has plenty of space. It’s small enough not to be a nuisance. Perfect as hand luggage, for a weekend getaway or a short business trip.
The Tank is ideal for those who need a little more space without sacrificing their style or quality. It is resistant and robust, yet refined and sophisticated.
If you are looking for a perfect backpack, that attracts attention and lasts a lifetime, this is the one.
I don’t know if you’ll believe it, but it has a 100-year warranty, so you should think about the next generations.

Feedback
The Tank isn’t for everyone, I know. It is necessary to be a lover of the authentic, to have love for the cloth and to accept the natural aging of things.
Like life, this backpack will show you that the passage of time leaves traces and, how to say, wrinkles are a symptom of experience. This backpack, the best, will age with you, and with your next generation, and who knows…?
Saddleback Leather was founded in 2003 by Dave Munson. The company’s story began quite serendipitously when Munson, having worked as a missionary in Mexico, decided to design a sturdy leather bag that could withstand the harsh conditions of his lifestyle. I wanted something that was not only functional, but also durable and with a classic design.
The first bag Munson designed was handmade by a local artisan in Mexico. The quality of the work was so high that, upon returning to the United States, he received numerous purchase offers from friends and strangers who saw him with the bag. This gave him the idea to start selling them.
Saddleback Leather was born. Munson started out selling the bags on eBay, but demand quickly grew, and in 2006 he launched the company’s official website.
Saddleback Leather specializes in high-quality, handmade leather products, including handbags, backpacks, wallets , and accessories. The company has stood out for offering a 100-year warranty on all its products, emphasizing durability and longevity as core values of the brand.
The company has grown significantly from its humble beginnings, but has maintained its commitment to quality and timeless design. Munson and his family have been heavily involved in running the company, and its founder’s personal story remains an integral part of the brand. Saddleback Leather’s headquarters are located in Fort Worth, Texas, and most of its products are still manufactured in Leon, Mexico, a city known for its tradition in the production of leather goods.
Saddleback Leather is known not only for the quality of its products, but also for its business philosophy, which includes a focus on sustainability, fair trade , and design that stands the test of time.
