Leather Tumpline

Genuine Leather Tump
Perfect Trekking Tool
Tie on your Bedroll

This Leather Tumpline is exactly what we wanted. It's light, it's long, it's durable. We've looked into weaving them, we thought about different types of fabric, but nothing seemed to end up with the quality or price-point we had in mind. One of our leather workers took on the challenge and got to researching. The result is comfortable for head or shoulder carry, it looks fantastic, and gets the job done well.

About 2.5" wide at the widest and 106" long from end to end. The split ends are about 20" long. Made from 5 to 6 oz leather.

Made in USA

Item # LT-855

Excellent quality!

Fantastic design and construction. Not so good materials.

(note, review from Feb. 2022)
The design is historically attested and well executed... but the leather is rather thin and in person has a rather plastic-y modern looking finish. This version will work for just a blanket and some socks, but the tails won't likely handle portaging like the real voyageurs did with these.

The exact same piece made with good quality veg-tan leather, maybe twice as thick? That would be amazing, and I'd have happily paid twice the price for it!

If that's not an option - were I to make this order over again at Townsends, I'd have gotten their hand-woven sash instead. Even if it's more expensive, I think it would both look better and hold up better.

Great Leather, easy to use

The design is really simple and can be adjusted to all manner of blanket or roll sizes. The leather is actually more comfortable than I thought. Great buy to round out any trek or hiking gear you have.
