FAQs
WHAT MATERIALS ARE USED TO MAKE MY BAG?
The principal materials used in the manufacture of our bags are cotton and leather. The bonded cotton canvas fabric we use is a strong, waterproof material which is created by bonding two layers of cotton drill with a central core of natural rubber. This high quality fabric has a luxurious and soft feel unlike synthetic materials. We also use British dyed and proofed 24oz canvas, which is not bonded, and has been treated to resist water.Leather components and detailing on our bags are made from the highest quality English leather. We use brass and occasionally nickel plated brass for our hardware, as well as wood and aluminium alloy for braces and supports when required. We use British woven military grade 100% cotton parachute webbing.
WILL MY BAG BE WATERPROOF?
As stated above, our bonded cotton canvas fabric comprises two layers of cotton bonded with a natural rubber core. Our 24oz canvas is also proofed for water resistance. Although they are therefore waterproof, we suggest wrapping contents in an additional waterproof barrier as a precaution, to protect against any seepage if the bag is to be exposed to heavy rainfall for a prolonged period.WHAT OPTIONS ARE THERE FOR PERSONALISATION?
Our personalisation service uses beautiful machine stitched lettering and gives you the option to include up to 4 initials on the side of your bag. We offer a choice of two typefaces, Typeface 1 and Typeface 2, and two colour threads, Colour 1 and Colour 2.We are also happy to discuss bespoke commissions for things outside of our standard personalisation, such as crests or images, so do let us know if you have something more detailed in mind and we will do our best to accommodate this.
All personalisation is arranged with us via email after confirmation of your order on our website and is charged separately from the price of your bag. Standard personalisation is £60. Prices for bespoke commissions will be discussed and provided on request.
