The Sedbergh — Stone & Tan Waxed Canvas Dopp Kit

The Sedbergh is a classic dopp kit: a boxy waxed canvas body on a full grain leather base, a long zip top and a leather carry loop at one end.

Stone canvas, a pale warm khaki, with tan leather trim that darkens to honey within the first year of carrying.

It is 10 inches long and stands open on a basin, so you can see everything without unpacking it.

The lining is coated and wipes clean, with elastic loops along one side for a razor, toothbrush and bottles.

Choose the Sedbergh for someone who travels light, or as a groomsmen gift that gets used every trip. See our groomsmen gifts, or browse all our waxed canvas bags.

The canvas

We use 18 oz waxed cotton canvas, the same cloth as our Ellis totes. The wax makes it water-resistant: rain beads and runs off, and a shower will not soak through. It sheds weather rather than sealing it out, and it is not meant to look new forever: fold lines and darker hand marks build up into a finish of its own. Every edge that takes wear, the handles, straps, corners and base, is full grain leather.

How it is made

Made to order in our own workshop. Every piece is cut by hand, the seams are stitched with waxed thread, the edges are sanded and burnished rather than painted, and the hardware is solid brass. Three initials are pressed free on the leather patch, in gold foil, silver foil or a blind press.

Care

Brush off dry dirt and sponge marks with cold water. When water stops beading, usually once a year, rub in a little fabric wax and warm it with a hair dryer. Never use detergent or a washing machine, and condition the leather trim twice a year.
