What a beauty, Jim!! As always, you and I notice and go for the same "must haves" and details of construction. Superb build. Cannot wait to see the patina. I think that would be a great series of videos for you to make: "how to develop patina on a natural un dyed veg tan". Bravo. Really glad to know about this maker just down the road.
Mr. Crane's taste in handmade bags is impeccable. I really like this bag. I noticed a few new things I've not yet seen and it's inspiring to see. The finger straps to help the closures was a nice feature. The patina update video on this one is going to be really cool and something i look forward to.
Beautiful Satchel! After seeing your video I bought one and it is amazing! I look forward to your Patina update videos. Drew is a master craftsman and his work is second to none. He's easy to work with and very responsive. I recommend Drew Reyes and West Street Leather to anyone looking for a heritage bag of the highest quality. He's the best!
Jim, thank you so much, I am honored to have my work on your channel and appreciate the review. There is a lot of thought and effort that goes into these designs and I am super grateful for your kind words. I hope this bag serves you well and can’t wait to see how it develops and transforms over time. Thanks again!
Absolutely fantastic review... I love the detail.... I am so glad I found this channel... the best most detailed reviews!
Welcome back Jim. Great review.
The finger straps are a super smart idea
Gorgeous satchel

Thank you @Stonecraft Leather! Thanks for watching!
Seems like a beautiful, harmonious design with unique geometry, made with a very high quality leather. Well done!
Mr. Sertkaya you are one of the most gracious leather craftsman out there! Thank you!
Hi Jim. Hope all is well. Always one of my favorite reviewers.
Thank you Ed, thanks for watching!
I can honestly say… I will only buy a bag or leather item that James has reviewed… Why? Because they're the best reviews ever on leather items.
Thank you @compman0678, I appreciate the vote of confidence!
