Iron Bags are hand-built in a small town just outside Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Our family owned shop has been designing and making these high quality custom leather saddlebags for Harley Davidson motorcycles for over 20 years.

What kind of leather do you use for the saddlebags?
Our large bolt-on Harley saddlebags are made of top grain American saddle leather. These hides are vegetable tanned from Hermann Oak Leather, a company that started tanning hides in the 1880's. The vegetable tanning process is more expensive but produces a firmer hide with superior shaping qualities.
