The Roosevelt Leather Pilot Bag – XL in rich Dark Oak is built for extended escapes, heavier loads, and bigger stories. Inspired by the relentless spirit of Theodore Roosevelt — rancher, soldier, and explorer — this larger version is made for those who never travel light, in purpose or in miles.
Handcrafted from full-grain water buffalo leather, the Dark Oak finish brings depth and character that only gets better with age. Outfitted with antique brass hardware and rugged YKK zippers, this bag is built to take a beating and come back for more. With expanded dimensions, the XL easily holds a 17” laptop, along with clothes, books, and everything else you need for a weekend off-grid or a few extra days on the road.
Four buckled exterior pockets offer quick access to the essentials — tools, chargers, a weathered field journal — the kinds of things Roosevelt himself might have tucked away on the trail. Inside, a roomy main compartment and zippered pocket keep the rest organized and secure.
Whether you're heading to the cabin, the city, or somewhere in between, the Roosevelt XL is built to carry the weight — and keep going long after others would’ve turned back.

"All as depicted on the Jackson Buffalo site. No issues and very pleased. The colors are a knockout."

"I spent weeks researching the market for a durable, heavy-duty bag with premium hardware that wouldn't feel overly bulky. The Large Leather Pilot Bag checked every box. When it arrived, the sheer heft and build quality immediately exceeded my expectations. It looks fantastic, feels incredibly robust, and delivers exactly the heavy-duty aesthetic I wanted. The hardware is equally impressive, offering a premium feel throughout. My only minor critique regards the storage layout. For my personal workflow, I would prefer slightly larger, more functional exterior pockets or additional internal organization. However, this is purely subjective. I am thrilled with this purchase, so much so that I immediately ordered their leather care kit. Moving forward, Buffalo Jackson will be my go-to brand for premium, built-to-last goods. Thank you."

"Iam truly amazed of the workmanship. The color is perfect size, the hardware makes it look so cool and perfect my son will surely be surprised with this bag. He will be retiring in March from the Coast Guard and he is a pilot so the Pilot bag seem very appropriate. After his military, he will be doing commercial piloting and your bag will be in good use. This will be a retirement gift (surprise) that will keep on giving throughout is new career. Thank you Pat K"
