Jefferson Leather Duffle

  • Introducing the Jefferson Leather Duffle Bag, a blend of classic craftsmanship and vintage style, designed to turn heads wherever your travels take you. In collaboration with Jack Andrews, our vintage leather luxury line. Perfectly sophisticated, but not too stuffy. Details in all the right places.

    Crafted from rich, full-grain cow leather, vegetable tanned and finished with a wax pull-up effect, this duffle darkens and lightens as it is handled and reads better at year five than year one. The spacious interior is lined with a herringbone cotton fabric for an elegant, protective finish. A woven leather handle gives the bag a clean silhouette and added structural integrity, and a YKK brass zippered side opening provides quick access to your essentials.

    More than luggage, this is a statement of refined taste. A dedicated side compartment holds your shoes, double grab handles and a detachable padded shoulder strap carry the load your way, and the whole bag is built to be an heirloom, the kind your grandfather would have carried and your grandson one day will.

    Built Right

    Full-Grain Vegetable-Tanned Cow Leather

    Soft but structured cowhide finished with a wax pull-up effect. The leather darkens and lightens as it is handled and develops a beautiful patina over the years.

    Herringbone Cotton Lining

    The interior is lined with a herringbone-pattern cotton blend that opens like the inside of a good suit jacket. Elegant and protective.

    Woven Leather Handle

    The handle is attached with a woven leather technique that gives the bag a clean silhouette and added structural integrity built to last for ages.

    YKK Solid Brass Zippers, Side Opening

    Solid brass YKK zippers and a side zippered opening provide quick, smooth access to the main compartment.

    Dedicated Shoe Compartment

    A side compartment keeps your shoes separate from your clothes, the detail that makes this the ideal weekend-getaway companion.

    Double Handles, D-Rings, Padded Strap

    Grab the double leather handles or clip the included padded strap to the D-rings for hands-free carry under heavier loads.

    Product FAQs

    What is the pull-up effect?

    The leather is vegetable tanned and finished with a wax that darkens or lightens as it flexes and is handled. It gives the bag living character and a natural, evolving finish.

    Does it really fit shoes?

    Yes. There is a dedicated side compartment sized to keep your shoes separate from your clothes.

    How big is the interior?

    Spacious, with a zippered interior pocket measuring 12 inches across by 8.5 deep on one side and two slot pockets measuring 9 across by 7.5 deep on the other.

    Is it heavy?

    Full-grain leather makes the Jefferson a substantial bag. It is heavier than a nylon duffle, and that weight is the durability that lets it last decades and pass down.

    What's the warranty?

    A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina, scratches, and wear marks are part of how the bag is meant to age and are not defects.

    Excellent bag, exceeded expectations

    "My work has found me traveling a lot lately and I used to travel with a crappy old Nike duffle bag. I decided to get a “big boy” duffle bag and did quite a lot of research to find the perfect leather bag. I came across many companies selling quality leather goods. For the price, quality (from what I could tell), and reviews I landed on the “Clark” pilots bag from Vintage Gentleman. Honestly, I was not all that happy with it. Lovely bag visually, but in person the vintage faded look was giving me kind of a grungy and cheap vibe and even smelled a bit musty. The stitching seemed like it would not hold up with years of use and the inside material was thin and felt like it could wear and possibly rip easily with moderate use. I went back to the internet and after many days of research landed on Buffalo Jackson. Every bag looked absolutely beautiful and the videos helped showcase the quality and craftsmanship. Once I had it in my hands, the fresh smell of leather, the weight of the bag overall, the canvas interior was all just night and day difference from my previous purchase at VG. I am more than satisfied with this purchase. This bag is classy, but not pretentious, simple but rugged and built to last. so what did I do… I bought myself (from the same collection) the attache, and then a pilots bag, AND another pilots bag for my buddy that is an actual pilot. When I find products of quality and craftsmanship like this company, I instantly become a loyal customer and advocate. Will be telling everyone that asks where to get one. Thank you, and I’ll be back soon for more!"

    Cool bag with lots of storage space

    "The bag looks so cool. Premium leather, looks and feels amazing. I prefer using the handles to carry it as that way the duffle best keeps its shape, but the leather strap can come in handy as well. What I was most impressed with was the amount of storage as the duffel fits considerably more clothes than a carry on suitcase. Also, the clothes arrives to final destination with minimum wrinkles, which is important for business trips. The bag is a bit expensive, but considering that it is likely to last a lifetime, I feel it's a really good value for money."
