Description

Heavy waxed cotton canvas with bridle leather straps and solid brass buckles. The wax finish repels water and, over a couple of years, wears into pale creases along the fold lines that map exactly how you use the bag.

It takes a sixteen-inch laptop in a padded sleeve, which is unusual at this size, and the main compartment opens wide on a horseshoe zip beneath the storm flap.

The canvas can be re-waxed indefinitely. We sell the wax, and we will re-wax a Ridge for you at cost for as long as we make it.

Care
  • Brush off dirt when dry; sponge stubborn marks with cold water only.
  • Never machine wash, dry clean or use detergent — it strips the wax.
  • Re-wax the canvas every 12–24 months, or send it to us to re-wax at cost.
  • Creases and pale wear lines are the finish maturing, not damage.

Re-waxing at cost is a real commitment

Bought partly because of that promise. A year in the canvas is starting to pale along the fold lines and it looks better than when it arrived.

Takes my 16" laptop with room over

Rare at this size. Horseshoe zip opens wide enough to pack it like a case rather than a sack.

Waxy at first

It transferred a very faint mark onto a pale coat in the first fortnight. Settled down after that, but hang it on a hook rather than your shoulder early on.
