WDurableGoods

Welcome to W Durable Goods-- Handmade utilitarian goods crafted from a variety of materials such as leather, 30oz cotton canvas and genuine military surplus. Each item is created with function and longevity in mind.

Specializing in duffel bags and briefcases/satchels

Some materials used are acquired from the military surplus store here in Fort Worth. Everything is designed and created in my home shop. I enjoy making custom items for my customers and take pride in offering functional products of the utmost quality.

Among my materials, the most special is the 30 oz cotton canvas such as is used in the model A bag. This is a very exclusive fabric obtained from deconstructing 1950s military surplus transport bags. These bags, treated with an anti-mildew / anti-rot treatment, were intended for use in World War II in the construction of portable steel bridges (Bailey Bridges). The nature and quality of this fabric is unavailable on today's market, I have some of the last of these bags, and when they're gone, a piece of history will be gone with them.
