Make your Slabtown Backpack straps extra comfy with Merino wool felt pads! Kit includes felt, hardware, instructions, and optional leather glue. (Leather backpack straps not included.) We recommend adding felt to your straps before attaching them to the bag, but it’s possible to add them after the bag is complete as well.
Our Materials
Waxed Canvas
A densely-woven cotton fabric that's saturated with wax, giving it protection against the elements. It shows scuffs and creases that blend into a weathered patina. *fabric colors vary in weight from 10-12oz
Leather
Sourced from Oregon and a Pennsylvania tannery, and hand-selected for quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency.
Hardware
Hardware takes a bag from looking homemade to professional—and it's not hard to do! Using basic tools, you can set rivets & more. All our hardware is real metal and built to last.

I added the felt pads to my Slabtown bag purchase. I haven't made my bag yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
My new backpack looks and feels even nicer! These are a great accent and super easy to add.
