Choosing the Right Leather Thickness for Bushcraft Backpack Bushcraft Backpacks

When it comes to making top-notch bushcraft backpacksbushcraft backpacks, picking the right leather thickness is key. At 99 Percent Handmade, we put a lot of thought into this to make sure our packs are durable and just right for our customers. Here’s a quick rundown of how we do it:

Canvas: In places where leather is backed by canvas, we use 1.5 mm thick leather. The leather-canvas combo is tough enough to handle weight while staying flexible.

Heavy Load Areas: For the parts that carry the most weight, we use 2 mm thick leather. This gives the backpack the strength it needs to hold heavy gear without any issues.

Connection Points: For areas like pocket flaps that don’t need to be super strong, we use leather that's 1.2 to 1.5 mm thick. This keeps the backpack light but still functional.

Shoulder Straps Flaps, Lids: Shoulder straps need to be sturdy, so we use at least 1.5 mm thick leather, sometimes up to 2 mm. We might even double up on the leather for extra support, depending on what the customer wants.

Customization and Craftsmanship: Every backpack is a unique piece, made to match the customer's needs. We look at the size, use, and leather choice to decide on the best thickness for each part. Not all leather works for every backpack, so we adjust as needed.

At 99 Percent Handmade, our goal is to create backpacks that are not just practical and durable but also custom-made to fit each customer’s needs. Every piece is handcrafted with care and attention to detail.
