Hey Folks, Thanks for your patience and continued interest in the Cruz! Here are answers to some of the most asked questions in this thread: What is the Cruz's warranty? The Cruz is warrantied by Massdrop for three years. Between the full grain leather and the YKK hardware, we expect very few warranty claims. How many pieces of leather is the Cruz made of? I'm generally confused about this question. The Cruz is made of many panels of leather, all visible in the provided pictures. Each Cruz takes about 20sqft of hide to produce. How is the leather in the Cruz tanned? The Cruz is made of Full Grain, Chromium Tanned, Aniline dyed leather. Is the Cruz water proof? No, the Cruz is not water proof. Being Chromium Tanned and Aniline Dyed, the Cruz handles rain and wetness better than most leathers. Rain won't ruin your Cruz and the contents will stay dry. Will everything stay dry if you throw the Cruz in a pool? Absolutely not.
Will there be other colors? At this point we have no plans to release the Cruz in more colors.
How big are the shoe compartments? We've tested them with size 12 Allen Edmonds Park Avenue and those fit comfortably. I'll post a measurement when I'm in the office tomorrow.

WillHi Will, thanks for the answers to these questions. Looks like I'll be ordering one before the drop ends today.


As to the "one piece of leather" comment, I think people are referencing this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a11wlngpuSY
In it, Dave from Saddleback Leather talks about how much stronger a bag is if you make the majority out of one piece, instead of a bunch of pieces spliced together and stitched up with thread, which is always going to be weaker than the leather itself.
Cheers

ribosradagastI watched this video and Dave was brilliant! Hilarious! I like when he talks about how much money you'll get pirating his bag: making money as easily as beating your wife and kids, Especially if you have a large family! Money money money; isn't that what it's all about anyway...?
