Carrying my link duffle today. I never cared much for brass hardware on the newer bags until I saw this bag. Now I see the beauty!

As a side note to 1941 duffle owners, a few weeks ago whateve posted a picture of an older duffle with the strap doubled. It had a small removable leather loop that came with the strap that she looped through both halves to keep the two parts of the strap together when it is doubled. I thought "well isn't that pretty smart". It got me to thinking and so I checked both this one and my bordeaux 1941 duffle to see if each had a removable loop and they did! Of course, I might be the only one that didn't know this, but I figured I'd share just in case [emoji2]
