QUESTION

I am interested in purchasing one of your supple leather backpack, either the Ranger, the Reporter or the Windfront. Suppose it’s hot and I’m sweating on my bike, is the leather susceptible to stain my t-shirt?

ANSWER

The Ranger and the Windfront have a pigskin back panel. This leather is not oiled so it is unlikely it will ever stain.

The Reporter doesn’t have a back panel, so the slightly oiled nubuck leather that you see is what will be against your back. For that reason, it is the most susceptible to stain between the three of them. However, we believe it is also unlikely and it hasn’t been reported by any customer so far – which does not mean it never happened of course.
