bought this years ago @ volls.de when ATLIER LA DURANCE was a really brand new label producing some small charges of denim – the quality and the making of the jeans was great. i think it was about 2005 or 2006. this haversack is a very nice piece but it was absolutely senseless for me. i preferred bags when going on travel, to get the things best handled. so it is like new, made of 14OZ weight japanese denim and saddle leather with a lot of nice details and heavy brass hard wear. it’s on ebay now. no life time gear for me … pics | LTG
