Know before you buy
The 12 oz waxed cotton canvas is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and splashes to keep your contents dry. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water.
The full-grain cow leather is durable and designed to age naturally. You can occasionally apply a leather conditioner if the material feels dry, but generally, it requires very little upkeep.
Because of the waxed finish, you can simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh soaps or machine washing, as these can strip the protective wax coating.
As you use the pouch, the wax and leather will scuff, soften, and darken in areas of high friction. This creates a unique, weathered look that is specific to how you handle and carry the item.
Yes, the pouch features robust steel hardware designed for frequent opening and closing. It is built to withstand the rigors of daily travel and organization.
