Occidental Leather 8581 FatLip Fastener Bag

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.

Occidental bags are the absolute best. Dont waste money on cheap bags that will break down in a few months. These bags will last a lifetime if you take care of them. Leather is twice as thick as other brands, so the bags do weight a bit more than the cheap ones.

havent foujnd anything close to the quality and comfort. ive tried others an d nothing compares. i have four other set of bags and these are by far the best

Our son requested the Occidental Leather tool bag specifically and we were happy to see it listed at Amazon - the place we always check first. The bag is designed intelligently and the workmanship is outstanding. My wife and I forgot to order the belt which is designed to hold the tools comfortably in precisely the most comfortable and useful position. It is on its way, and our young carpenter will be a very happy man.
