Claim your right to roam with this fine rucksack on your back. Make it in traditional British oilskin or a sturdy canvas. Fully lined with 3 divided internal pockets. The pattern includes a cross-body bag as an alternative.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Please note you need to use split cowhide leather straps and not the veg tan. These are thinner so will work much better with the buckles. If you are using brass roller buckles, make a row of 4 holes in your leather. This will ensure that the circular part of the prong pushes through completely.

Recommended Fabric

The sample in the picture is made from Olive Dry Oilskin. For the lining we suggest something like a simple cotton, or a duck canvas will give it more body and stability.

Pattern Errata: Pattern piece 10 (handle): The gap between the rivet holes should be 6cm on each side. It is currently 5cm on one side and 6cm on the other.

Finished Measurements: H 46.5cm, W 45cm
