Go Forth Go Products You Can’t Go Wrong With.

If the person you’re buying for already has a leather duffle bag, why not get them other hand-crafted leather products to go with it? Here are some of Nathan’s favorite products that he uses every day:

1. Single Wallet in Saddle

This wallet is big enough to carry at least 20 cards, plus cash, and still fits into the front pocket. While the finish is your choice, “Choosing the natural color allowed it age naturally over time, and now it’s a nice dark honey brown,” Nathan says.

2. Classic Belt in Saddle with Antique Brass Buckle

One look at this belt, and you can just tell why it’s Nathan’s favorite. It looks good with just about any outfit, and it only gets better with age. If you wear more black than brown, go for the black leather belt. Plus, there are various metals available for those with a specific metal allergy.

3. Apple Watch Strap in Mocha

One of the great things about Apple Watches is being able to switch out the bands for any occasion. When Nathan needs to look stylish and sharp, he goes for theApple Watch Strap. It’s durable, comfortable and just looks good.

4. Fish Hook Key Chain

TheFish Hook Key Chain is minimalistic, but provides great function. “Simply slide it over your belt loop and tuck your keys into one of your back pockets, or just let it hang,” Nathan says. He uses it every day to make sure his keys don’t get lost.

Our Favorite Leather Duffle Bags

If you’re shopping for leather duffle bags, but don’t know where to start, Nathan has some ideas for that, too. He highly recommends:

1. Grant Rucksack in Saddle

This isNathan’s favorite bag. He loads it up with his laptop for work, or with everything he needs for a hike in a national park. Plus, the outside pocket makes it easy to access items like a water bottle. The oil tanned leather is water resistant, making it perfect for any weather.

2. Gunnar Duffle in Saddle

For longer trips, Nathan always grabs hisGunnar leather duffle bag. It’s an easy bag to just load up and go, and it’s the perfect size for week-long trips. Plus, using it in backpack mode with anadditional strap is incredibly helpful at the airport.
