A men's black top-grain leather sling chest bag: a hands-free bag for travel, cycling and city days.
This one is made from top-grain cowhide leather with a textured black finish and a slim, vertical shape that sits close to the body. Diagonal stitched panels across the front add a little visual interest while keeping the overall look clean, so it pairs as comfortably with a smart casual jacket as with a flat cap and knitwear.
Separate zip compartments give your phone, wallet, keys and smaller accessories their own space, so you are not searching through a single pocket. The lined main compartment includes an internal slip pocket, while layered front storage keeps everyday items in quick reach. A rear zip pocket, sitting against your back when worn, is a sensible place for a passport or anything you prefer to keep out of sight.
The adjustable woven strap lets you wear the bag across the chest or against the back, depending on the day and the crowd. Metal zips and leather zip pulls finish it off neatly. It is a practical companion for commuting, city breaks and travel, and a well-judged gift for a son or husband who likes to keep things simple but still wants them to look right.
Dimensions, compartments and laptop size for this bag are listed under Technical details.
When checking laptop fit, go by your laptop’s actual measurements as well as its screen size. If you want us to confirm something fits before you order, write to us.
Leather: wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Once or twice a year, work in a little neutral leather cream, testing it first on a hidden spot. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.
Empty the bag and stuff it lightly with paper when storing it, and keep it in a breathable dust bag rather than plastic.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
Each piece names its exact material under Technical details, whether full-grain, top-grain or split leather, vegan leather or metal. If a piece is not listed as leather, it is not leather.
Pieces with a tracker slot say so under Technical details. The tracker itself is not included.
Dimensions, card capacity and laptop size are listed under Technical details for every piece. Belts are sized by full strap length: choose about 2 in (5 cm) above your trouser waist size. If you want us to confirm a fit before ordering, write to us.
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, condition it once or twice a year with a neutral leather cream, and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.
