Backpack For Schott Perfecto

[VestCoast]

I would avoid going the leather and canvas backpack route, they weigh significantly more which could make the wear on the jacket much worse. I would find a high quality textile backpack that is as light as possible and modify the straps instead. The best approach would be stitching something soft onto the backside of the strap, or getting/building a wrap to cover the straps instead. You could also just stick some adhesive backed moleskin onto the straps which would be the easiest route. I do a lot of leatherwork and have made a few canvas and leather bags--the increased weight is remarkable and can be a deterrant for every day bag use. If your goal is to reduce wear on the shoulders of your jacket I would look at reducing weight over changing materials.

When using a bag i care about four things:
_How light is it?
_How waterproof is it?
_How Practical is it to use?
_Will it last?

Leather bags are nice, but not waterproof, not light and not practical to live with.


These two are basically what i use all the time, the Jaakari S day to day, the Duffels to travel.
