I have the stone washed version if this bag! for 2 months now, and let me tell you! it is a beautiful bag, it does have some imperfections but I think that’s due to the stone wash process! some interesting stitching irregularities I noticed but it is a work of art! I have 4 Coronado bags and so far this is the one that gets more of the attention.
I have an entirely subjective question regarding two kinds of potential regret if you don’t mind 1. One could pay this kind of money for the stonewashed version and then later regret that you are walking around with what looks like beaten up leather that you picked up from a dumpster (I’m exaggerating) OR 2. One could buy the unwashed version and walk around with what feels like wooden boards carpentered together with a decade to go before break in Which one would be prominent, do you think?
You did address this tangentially in the video, but I wanted to highlight the choices more clearly and perhaps nudge you into expanding on the reasons for your preference (looks like you did purchase the unwashed version :-) )
I'm not certain, but I think Coronado has adjusted how they stone wash their pieces now. In my opinion they are not distressing them as much as they did when they first introduced the Stone Washed items. To be completely upfront, I prefer the virgin products and prefer to break them in myself.
6:06 The side panels seem to be done “wrong”. The lower panel should come under the upper panel before being sewn so water drips OFF rather than collecting at the seam and making its way into the bag. Is that assessment correct?
Thank you for the observation. My preference is the top panel over the bottom, for the reason you reference. To me it only makes sense. Of all the mailbag makers I'm familiar with, only two use the bottom panel over the top panel method. Coronado is one of them.
I have two bags from them and yes! it seems like they don’t do much quality checks on these! I have a stone washed bag and I was extremely disappointed with the quality! Don’t get me wrong, they have great designs but my! They are not doing these with heart anymore! I think I’ll post a video about the bags in the future! I am buying another stone washed bag from them to see if they improve the quality! if not, expect a video in the next few months.
@@civetricamoto notified u didn’t make a video so did the quality improve on your second bag? I just placed a purchase for one and now reading your comment making me wary.

Hey guys! Place a comment on how you feel about the journey of this Coronado bag and don't forget to like the video because it deserves it! Cheers!!

I love it, thanks so much for posting. I was really curious about that bag.
Beautiful bag Jim. I would love it if you would add some mod shots to your videos. That would be so helpful for size and proportion. Thanks!
Love this bag. Noticed they have the mail bag with one buckle.

@@JamesCrane Thank you so much for continuing to engage with your viewers
Have you ever looked at Defy bags out of Chicago they make beautiful pieces out of horween
Thanks Larry, I haven't looked at Defy bags yet, I'll look into it.
Leather is nice, but am I the only one who feels the bag is poorly made? Not much love went into it.
