Leather Carry On Travel Bag
Ramp up your style with this handsome duffel and revel in its refined appeal, quality materials and superb craftsmanship every time you carry it.
“Duffels made their way from military and utilitarian uses to mainstream, everyday carry many years ago. You can find them out there in every conceivable color, design and material – some good, some not so good. I can assure you that this No. 2 Duffel is a stand-out in the “good looks” department. It will take on a beautiful patina as it ages, possibly looking even better after a few years of aging than the day you took it out of the box. You can be sure it will stand up to many years of “duffeling” around, while retaining a look of rugged refinement.”
-Colonel Littleton
Construction and extras
Can you wad it up and throw it in the corner – well, no, that was not Colonel’s vision… it isn’t made of canvas, nylon or any man-made material. Colonel designed the No. 2 Duffel Bag in our full-grain, wonderfully textured, Tobacco Brown American Buffalo which he had dry milled to achieve a soft, lived-in look and feel. The bag is trimmed in our Vintage Brown polished American Steerhide and fully lined in Calfskin to add an extra measure of quality.
One of the bag’s most convenient features is that it opens all the way for easy packing because it is not restricted by a zipper closure. Outside pockets on each end of the bag, measuring 7 ½” (W) x 5” (H), with ball stud closures, offer you quick access to necessary items. Wrap-around straps culminate in buckle closures with solid brass hardware. Convenient carry handle and an adjustable shoulder strap with comfort pad finish the look. Serial-numbered on the front Pommel Shield.*
Make it undeniably yours by personalizing it with three initials on the front oval brass plate. Overall dimensions including handle: 19 ⅛” (W) x 10 ¼” (D) x 9 ½” (H). Product packaging includes a protective cotton canvas drawstring bag with the Col. Littleton Cameo Logo.
*Historically, the pommel shield was used on U.S. Cavalry saddles to identify the seat size and, many times, the arsenal that supplied them.
When it comes to American Buffalo, Colonel says, “Expect a leather that is unapologetically rugged with character, natural markings and variations in color.” Learn more about our American Buffalo Leather.

I can’t imagine a better, higher quality carry-on duffle bag than my brand new Col Littleton No. 2 Duffel made of American Buffalo and Steerhide.
I don’t do online reviews as a rule….but my excitement with the Colonel Littleton brand and products has changed my view. Colonel Littleton is an iconic brand that consistently reinforces its top quality image and customer service/support promise.
It is almost a work of art. I look forward to my first trip with my new bag and I anticipate lots of comments and complements from fellow travelers. The bag is absolutely beautiful and the craftsmanship and care that went into making it is abundantly obvious at first glance.
Not only is the design and construction first class but the bag holds everything I need in the main compartment and also features convenient side pockets for the stuff you need in a hurry.
I can’t say enough about the beauty and quality of all Col Littleton products….particularly my new No. 2 Buffalo/Steerhide Duffel Bag. Though not inexpensive, my No. 2 Duffel is well worth the price and I expect it to outlast me.
Like I once heard the Colonel say in one of his videos…Colonel Littleton sells a lot of items you may not NEED but you will certainly want and enjoy.
Keep the innovative products coming Colonel!
I have owned my Col Littleton Navigator Brief Case for 5 years now having replaced the overly common black ballistic nylon computer bags.
I stepped up to the high quality Colonel Littleton Navigator bag as an investment in quality and because I know the Colonel’s commitment to only the highest quality leather, buffalo and alligator bags.
I just used Col Littleton Leather Care Kit to polish up my now 5 year old bag and I continue to be impressed with the bag’s looks, functionality and quality fabrication.
If you want to invest in yourself, your career and your professional image…I strongly recommend considering the CL Navigator brief. It easily holds everything I need as a busy global often traveling consultant. And, it looks fantastic and ages well….as does everything I buy from the Colonel.
As a devoted Colonel Littleton fan, I just visited the Col Littleton store in Lynnville, TN and was fortunate enough to spend some time with the Colonel in his private hot rod/truck workshop. What a thrill for a devoted Colonel Littleton fan like me.
Keep the high quality products coming Colonel!
This is a quality bag. I have owned several duffle bags over the years from my different designers or shops and this one is by far the best. The build and attention to detail is second to none. I travel a lot and this bag is always with me. I have several pieces from the Colonel and each one is outstanding. The portfolio shown is 10 years old. Its worn a bit on the hide, but what do you expect for something thrown around the office every day for years on end?
A great company. Pay them a visit at the store. Its a little over an hour from Nashville and worth the drive. You might find something you dont see online.
