The romance associated with American Alligator continues with our No. 3 Grip taking center stage. The No. 3 Leather Grip/Travel Bag in full-grain Steerhide leather and in American Buffalo has been a favorite of Col. Littleton customers since its inception, and we are pleased to be able to offer it in luxurious American Alligator.

Most of the time I don’t like or need a huge, rolling suitcase, and many of the small carry bags are just that – too small. This travel bag is unique, unusual and certain to be a conversation piece everywhere you go. You will likely be the only person in the airport carrying an American Alligator travel bag, so you’ll quickly be elevated to star status if you’re not there already. The bag easily qualifies as Americana art; yet, it is very functional and serviceable.

The beauty is in the details. Solid wooden rods and solid brass fixtures set it apart from any piece of luggage you’ll ever see. The No. 3 may be carried by either the handle or the adjustable shoulder strap. Straps on the back secure your umbrella (umbrella not included).

“I can tell you . . . a bag like this doesn’t just roll off some assembly line. It is planned and orchestrated to the smallest detail. I personally chose the three American Alligator hides that were used and supervised every step of the construction. It took a couple of hours just to study the hides before making the first cut. There is an art to planning a bag like this, and mistakes can be costly. But the end result is well worth it.”

– Colonel Littleton

This is truly a unique, handcrafted bag of superior quality and timeless beauty. It comes with instant heritage, because it looks as if it could have been inherited from your Grandfather. Aside from the sheer beauty of the bag, it is user-friendly and quite serviceable. There’s plenty of room to carry everything you need for an overnight stay, or it serves well as your personal carry-on-bag for extended trips. It opens wide and packs easily. Made in our Workshop in Lynnville, TN USA.

*Historically, the pommel shield was used on U.S. Cavalry saddles to identify the seat size and, many times, the arsenal that supplied them.

The hides we use are from alligators raised and trapped in the wild. Each hide is intentionally chosen to show the natural character markings such as scars and scratches that are common to alligators raised in the wild. Learn more about our American Alligator.
