The Minnehaha bags have hardware that's between the Baggins and Carradice quality and style, leaning to the Baggins side. The leather finishing is closer to what Carradice does, and the canvas is untreated. Overall, they're pretty nice bags, and i agree; better hardware does make for a much nicer bag in daily use. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
