The Thirsk — Chocolate Men’s Leather Crossbody Bag

The Thirsk is a flat, upright zip crossbody built for men: taller than it is wide, with a front zip pocket for the things you reach for and a tablet section behind.

A deep chocolate hide that wears like black but looks softer next to denim, camel and navy. The colour runs right through, so edges and scratches stay dark.

It is 10.75″ (27 cm) wide, 11.75″ (30 cm) tall and 2.25″ (6 cm) deep, with a strap that adjusts up to a 25.5″ (65 cm) drop. An 11-inch tablet, a notebook, wallet, phone and keys fit without bulging.

Inside there is a tablet section, two pen loops and a zip pocket, plus a flat front zip pocket and a magnetic slip pocket on the back. It comes with an adjustable 1″ (2.5 cm) leather crossbody strap on solid brass swivel clips, up to a 25.5″ (65 cm) drop.

Choose the Thirsk if you want a crossbody that carries a tablet and still lies flat under a jacket. If you carry less, a leather sling bag sits closer to the body. Or browse all our men's leather crossbody bags.

The leather

We use full-grain cowhide from our own regular supply and keep the natural surface. Nothing is sprayed over it to hide marks, so it softens and darkens with use instead of cracking.

How it is made

Load-bearing seams are saddle stitched by hand, two needles through each hole, so a cut thread does not run. Edges are sanded and burnished rather than painted, and the hardware is solid brass, unplated.

Care

Let it dry slowly if it gets caught in rain, stuff it lightly with paper when stored, and condition it twice a year.
