Design change on all Portmanteaus (9/1/2006) As shown in photo to the right, buckles are placed with double buckle and arrowhead tab as standard. The small case in front has a scribed accent allowing the natural color of the leather show through the line.
The style shown in the drawing of the three portmanteau cases show single buckles, buckle keeps and straps. These are still available as a special order without additional charge. Ends will be arrowhead tabbed or English style belt end style. Please remember to mention the preference when ordering
All leather goods are guaranteed as long as you think they should be

Basic sizes:
Small(fits a baby wipe container) which is roughly 6" x 12"
Mediumroughly 10" x 14" it is about the size of a sleeping bag stuff sack
Largeabout 11" x 21" (it's a little more square than the others but slightly wider and more like 11 x 12 on the end.) it is about the size of a gym bag and is sized to be within airline standards. (44")

I also make a travel bag (carpet bagger or Dr. bag style) within airline standards. This has a lock-able closure, handle straps, and Dee rings mounted with padded carry strap.
Note airlines vary on size restrictions, but a total measured size of 45" is a good rule of thumb.
