If you’re more Indiana Jones than Starbucks hipster, the USA-made bags from Occidental Leather just may appeal to you. This Adventure Series Dispatch Bag ($230) from rossroadbags.com is 15 x 6 x 12 and weighs 3.8 pounds which is not bad for a natural fiber-and-leather bag. Occidental makes mostly tool belts and bags so durability shouldn’t be an issue. I have a carpenter buddy who swears by the stuff. Of course, there always Saddleback Leather if weight (and money) is no object.
