I don't want to put a damper on this but..I think that is remake new bag in the photo. The leather (if it is leather not vinyl) is much thiner. This was gone over in this post long ago. There are LOTS of the new remakes out there. Check amazon.de etc. Again look for links in earlier posts. I do hope...

Also I can and do carry my new pack everyday. Which means I get a lot more mileage out of it then a pair of pants I can wear once a week. And that is a lot of money for a pair of pants....

I really don't understand WHY people want a reproduction bag?? I mean this in the nicest way but why buy a fake (replica) when you can just buy an original? I mean it's not like they make them any more get 'em while you can... It is the true piece of gear, exact in every way. No they don't wear out....

hmm..

I love my original MkVII. I am a Collage professor and have used mine everyday for about 5 years.
The bag itself has no more wear then could be expected. The webbing that holds the metal ring is just now starting to fray but a few quick stitches and its fine again.

This is as I thought these are leather made by a different factory (like the MK VII bags) or newer repo's. I do think that the straps will need to be changed to be accurate. This leads me to believe that this is what the Indy 4 people did. As the leather is different from even Indiana Scones bag. Th...

Whip leather...

OK so I started to cut out some more strips of leather and the cheep stuff I got (cowhide) stretched a lot but only against the grain of the leather. So the strips get thinner at points, this of course is bad.
Is this solved by stretching the heck out of it before I cut it?
