Default Leather site

I ran across this site, wondering if anyones used the saddlebags from this place. It says full leather and the prices are cheap, the same ones are on ebay.

Jafrum seems to have a good reputation online. For that price I assumed it would be cheapo split-grain leather or something, but I'm not sure.

Hell give 'em a try, at those prices it's not like your gonna break the bank. I imagine they are just simple bags for carrying stuff, without all the extra's you see on pricier bags.

Almost all of the leather goods these days are coming from Pakistan or China. With Pakistan seeming to have the better grade of leather. As stated if the prices are cheap if they turn out good you saved a bunch,, if not then you didn't lose too much.

Maybe try something smaller and cheaper to see if you like the grade of what you got before buying more expensive stuff,,I.E.- fork bags, handlebar bag, etc.
