Bison Messenger #23

This product was proudly designed, cut and sewn in our San Diego, California leather shop. It has been built entirely by our employees 100% (start to finish), in our own factory.  We don’t “partially assemble” our products in another country then label them MADE IN USA. In respect to all the American manufacturers over the last century, we do it the right way, honest and true American manufacturing.

We use a combination of two US tanned leathers. Our "Shrunken" American Bison is tanned in Milwaukee, WI and is one of our favorite and most unique leathers. The hides are between 5-7oz. and are chrome/vegetable re-tanned from bison hides that originated in North America. The leather goes through a complex tanning process that shrinks the hide to enhance the already bold natural grain of bison. Each hide has its own, 100% unique grain pattern much like our fingerprints. They are lightly waxed prior to applying a "hot chromed mirror plate" to give them a rich glossy sheen.

We finish this product with premium Horween® latigo leather, tanned in Chicago, IL since 1905. The hides are a smooth, flat grain steerhide in a full 7-9oz weight, making them not only a handsome contrast against the pebbled bison but ideal for straps, handles, trim and structured side panels.

This product features our signature, key-locking pocket for CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon). The pocket is accessed from a key-locking zipper and will extend the length of the bag. The zipper has a built-in lock that includes two keys. When locked the compartment is safe and secure without any access to the nylon lined pocket. When unlocked, the zipper functions as normal.

A great option for safe and responsible concealed-carry, pepper spray or other PPD's, storing cash or other valuables. For concealed-carry, a removable and optional holster is included and is adjustable with a Velcro® hook&loop system.
