Our
sewers, riveters, and leather craftsmen take pride
in crafting each product. Our durable packs and products are
made from the highest quality hardware and all-natural
canvas and leather. We are still making our products
in the same building they have been made for almost
100 years at 1610 W. Superior Street in Duluth, Minnesota.
We still use the same manufacturing methods we did
in the early 1900's. If you are ever in Duluth, stop
by our factory for a tour. You won't understand what
we mean by handcrafted until you see it. Stepping into
our factory is like stepping back in time. The photos
above are taken in our factory of actual Duluth Pack
craftsmen and women.

SEWING
Each sewer specializes in their own products
and sees their product from start to finish. Our
sewers would never allow an assembly line because
they take so much pride in what they do. That is
why we now put labels on all of our products that
say - Handcrafted by: with the sewer's initials
or name on it. Some of our sewers have been with
us for almost 20 years |
RIVETING
All heavy stress points in our products
get hand pounded rivets. That's right - a craftsperson
with a hammer still pounds the rivets into our
products. You see, we offer a lifetime warranty,
and we have to be sure that we make our packs
to last. |

LEATHER
We get our leather in full hides; that
way, our leather craftsmen and women can choose
the best part of the hide for the pieces that go
on our products. They are still using a knife and
other hand tools to prepare the leather for going
into our products.
