SLR BAGS
Description:
What's it made from?
These days most bags are actually made quite well. The real difference
is in the quality of the materials and fittings used. We use
high-quality materials such as bonded cotton canvas (the traditional
material used for fishing bags, being strong and waterproof), solid
brass fittings, English bridle leather and military grade cotton
webbing. Leather and canvas both hold up well. As long as they are both
good quality, both should be similar in terms of longevity.
How long will it last?
Lower quality bags will tend to use synthetic materials (which look OK
when new but do not age gracefully), alloy metals, vinyl instead of
leather fittings and a looser weave webbing, which may fray or break
quite quickly. We use heavy duty brass zips and traditional failsafe
fastenings like English cast brass buckles. Cheap zips and fastenings
can break very quickly and make the whole bag useless.
