As advertised durable , well made , and plenty of space for what I use it for which is a clay, shooting bag. For a multiple glasses case , shells , some tools, my vest , and other odds and ends for clay tournaments.
Perfect amount of space for toiletry items. Leather is high quality and incredibly durable
Quality built wallet. Has a great feel, and great look. The only issue I have is the rustic/weathered coloring presented in the photos is not what I received.
Loved it! Great quality and craftsmanship! Will purchase from you again!😀
We have been searching for a leather messenger bag for my husband. We found this bag and he really loves it.
Bought this bag for my boyfriend to keep his laptop & work what nots in and let me say it has exceeded expectations! This bag has so many pockets and dividers it makes organizing your stuff super simple. The leather feels amazing and smells of genuine leather. The zippers feel strong. He loves it especially for the strap also, supposable the trap stays on his shoulder comfortably and even while carrying other things which is exactly what he was looking for. I’m excited to see how the bag wears in a few years!
Very well made. High quality thick leather strapps and nice zippers. Great product
I wanted to wait a few weeks after buying this bag to review it properly. I’ve only used it to take gym clothes to work for now, and it has seen very light usage. Upon receiving the bag, I was quite taken back by how nice it looked and the quality. I noticed that the buttons on the handle clasp were a little loose and rattled but I thought nothing of it at the time.
Fast forward a few weeks and one of those buttons has completely separated like it wasn’t even pressed together. (By this I mean the male end of the button was not mounted onto the leather properly so it came apart and fell off the bag)
The leather strap on the side is also quite nice but the metal arm socket just randomly falls out of the clasp for no reason at all. Another manufacturing defect and quality flaw. For a bag that touts “made to last” these were huge oversights that make the bag not really live up to that slogan.
A little let down by these quality flaws but overall the bag is nice and will see usage from me. I’ll see about having it fixed myself and done properly, but really shouldn’t be the case.

High quality, immaculately designed, and obviously built to last. Such a high-end aesthetic. Like a cowboy lawyer.
Sitka Messenger Bag in Dark Walnut.
This is a beautiful piece. The leather, liner, stitching, hardware - all 5+ stars. Definitely more than worth the price.
Also, Kodiak customer service is truly excellent - very friendly, truly helpful, and extremely responsive.
Without question this company cares about product quality and their customers. Will definitely buy from again.
Love the construction and quality. Made a customer for life.
Fabulous rejuvenation to heavily worn Kodiak Bralorne Chelsea boots!
Superb!! I love it! Everything fits with room to spare. You will be hearing from me again.
This bag lasted about three years before completely falling apart. It looks fantastic—I'll give it that—but that's about where the positives end. Right out of the box, the magnetic clasps on the front flap never lined up properly. I figured they'd settle in as the leather broke in, but after all this time (since September 2021), they still don’t connect. Then came the zippers. They started catching more and more until they eventually got stuck for good. No amount of careful handling could save them. The most frustrating part, though, is how the lining just disintegrated. The front flap's lining (with the Velcro pocket, which stopped working after a year) is in shreds. The inside lining of both main compartments and the back zipper pocket? Torn to pieces. For context, I’m an attorney. I use this bag for work—putting files in, taking files out. That’s it. I don’t throw it around or overload it, so I’m honestly shocked at how poorly it’s held up. And yet, here I am, still using it, because the leather itself looks incredible and has aged beautifully. Giving it two stars because, despite everything, it is a beautiful bag. I also like this company and really wanted to love it, but between the hardware, zippers, and interior fabric, the durability just isn’t there.
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your bag. While we’re glad you love the leather and design, we understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the hardware and lining concerns, especially when relying on it for daily work. As you know from our private conversation, we’ve already taken care of replacing your bag, but I just wanted to acknowledge your experience here as well. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we’re always working to improve our products. If you ever need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I had an issue with a zipper and Kodiac replaced the entire bag out of warranty! Blown away
