Occidental Leather 8581 FatLip Fastener Bag

Deep pockets

I have been wanting one of these bags for a few years now. It definitely did not disappoint, a little bigger than I imagined but very comfortable.

Great product!

It is a little too bulky, I am a carpenter and I use it on the job everyday.

works great for me

Overall a good feeling tool bag, hard to beat the smell and feel of work heavy leather. I know Occidental bags are supposed to be the best you can get and last forever but it appears that their quality control has gone down in this example. Im not a professional leather worker but I do know that in high wear areas on leather goods, a shallow groove is made for the stitching to lay down in, so to keep it protected. In this case several areas including the back of the pouch where it rubs all day against your waist, as well as several interior pockets locations that will be in contact with tools were not. I just cant imagine the stitching holding up to my metal file or beat up channys rubbing against it all day every day. Might take another look at Occidental again in the future and chalk these bags up to covid quality.

Honestly, this is well built and seems like it will hold up to the beating Ill continue to give it. The huge pocket with the square pocket attached to it can hold so much crap I can go most of the day without needing to refill it (commercial electrician, I need a lot of different material in decent quantity to function in my day) and the three smaller pockets are great for different fasteners that I may be carrying. The small pocket on the front of the bag is even large enough to fit my Klein Allen wrench set, so all in all it is a sweet pouch. If youre an electrician wanting to carry a bit more to stay productive, get this pouch!

Great bag love it

still getting used to it......

Husband very happy with it! Fast shipping - thank you!!
