The year was 1909, and Theodore Roosevelt had traded the White House for the wilds of East Africa. With rifle in hand and a leather-bound journal at his side, he trekked through tall grass and thorny acacia, chasing both game and the deeper call of adventure. It was a journey of grit and intention—where every piece of gear served a purpose, and every day demanded preparedness. That spirit—of movement, of mission, of unrelenting curiosity—inspired the creation of our Roosevelt Collection.
The Roosevelt Backpack is crafted from richly textured, full-grain water buffalo leather—durable, distinctive, and ruggedly refined. Its clean, minimalist silhouette is balanced with a vintage aesthetic, making it a natural companion for the modern commuter or traveler. Accented with vintage brass hardware throughout, the pack exudes a timeless character that nods to another era. This is a bag that doesn’t shout—it speaks in quiet confidence, built for those who appreciate heritage craftsmanship with everyday utility. The leather deepens in richness with time and use, developing a patina that’s uniquely your own.
Designed with thoughtful intention, the backpack features a rear zippered padded compartment to securely hold laptops up to 15". A full front zippered panel opens wide to reveal multiple interior storage options, including zippered pockets and sleeves to organize your iPad, notebooks, chargers, and more. Adjustable leather-cushioned shoulder straps provide a comfortable, custom fit, while the soft yet structured body maintains its shape without unnecessary bulk. Whether you're navigating city streets or chasing a new horizon, the Roosevelt Backpack is built to carry what matters—with purpose, order, and timeless style.

"Solid high quality bag that looks. It has good capacity and lots of usable space. Multiple packets also helps with the usefulness. Only detractor is that the firmness of the leather and the position of the straps makes it a little uncomfortable on your back. Hopefully that gets more comfortable with use."
"Received this as a Christmas gift a year ago and it has been in daily use since then. Quality is fantastic and the bag gets tons of compliments (one person even decided to get it this year). Zippers are high quality and the compartments are perfect for what I needed. I had been looking for a smaller backpack than what I was previously using, but not something so small that it was effectively useless. This ended up being the perfect size. Only downside is this did not have a luggage attachment strap, but the pros outweigh this con."
"Very durable buffalo leather, results in a backpack that supports itself, ideal for travel"
"My husband has wanted this bag for years. I bought him a padfolio as a gift but he didn’t like the color. Buffalo Jackson was wonderful in doing the exchange for the backpack. Since I was having issues with the website, they called me to do the payment over the phone and asked if I had any questions. 10/10 customer service. The bag is gorgeous. It is a deep brown leather that is such good quality. You can feel the quality of this bag when you pick it up. Plus since my husband is an architect, he’s obsessed with the design and all the pockets. His laptop and all the necessities fit perfectly. Straps were a little tight but better with wear. 10/10!"
"This is probably the best backpack out there. The design, workmanship and materials are of the highest quality."
"This is the second purchase that I have made with Buffalo Jackson and I'm very satisfied with what I got. . ."
"This is my third Buffalo Jackson purchase. First was a messenger bag, a wallet, and now the Rosevelt backpack! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it! It far passes my expectations on every level! Appearance, quality, functionality today the least!"
"This bag is amazing! It feels amazing and seems to be extremely durable. And it seems to patina nicely. My only gripe is that it is WAY darker in real life than in the picture. I wanted a lighter brown, but the bag is very dark out of package. Other than that, the bag is amazing thus far."
"Amazing!!!!!"
"Very good design and layout. The leather is superior. Like all new leather, it is stiff, but breaking in nicely. I have their messenger bag already. The quality is great."
