About This Piece

Give Your Guitar Travel Protection That Actually Works — Not Just Another Soft Sack
If you're hauling your guitar to sessions, rehearsals, or gigs on foot or by transit, a flimsy nylon gig bag is not enough. Thin synthetic padding barely cushions a bump, and straps dig into your shoulder on the walk over. Within a season, the zipper's failing and the seams are fraying.
The Aviator is a soft, padded gig bag built differently — designed to solve the real problems gigging musicians face on the move. Note: this is a flexible gig bag, not a rigid hard case — built for comfort and daily carry rather than maximum impact protection.

Why Full Grain Leather Instead of Synthetic Canvas?
Synthetic gig bags fray, stain, and lose their shape fast — and no amount of washing restores them.

Our distressed full grain leather is:
Strong enough to handle daily commuting and travel wear
Naturally expressive — lightens at every crease and fold, then deepens into a unique patina with age
Padded thick enough to actually absorb impact, not just pad the shape
Built to outlast multiple synthetic gig bags, even with daily use

Why the Backpack Carry System Matters
Padded, adjustable leather backpack straps distribute weight evenly across both shoulders instead of one, which means less strain on long walks to the venue. This is especially important for:
Musicians who commute to gigs on foot or by public transit
Touring players who need hands-free carry through stairwells and crowds
Anyone who's dealt with a strap that slips or digs in mid-walk

Made for Your Guitar, Personally
This isn't a generic travel bag. The Aviator can be tailored in leather tone and hardware finish, and our personalisation and customisation option lets you add initials — making it a genuine gift for guitarist, a thoughtful gift for him or gift for her, built for the road, not just the studio.

The result? A gig bag that's more comfortable to carry, tougher on the road, and built to last for years — not one tour. Because getting to the gig shouldn't wear you out before you even plug in.

Dimensions
Length: 99 cm | Upper bout width: 31 cm | Lower bout width: 40 cm | Depth: 11 cm
Fits standard dreadnought, concert, and most grand auditorium acoustic guitars.
Have a different size or shape of guitar? Just let us know — we specialise in customisations and can tailor your gig bag to fit.

Exclusively full-grain leather — the highest quality grade, from the outermost hide layer. It develops a rich patina over decades and only improves with age. We never use genuine, bonded, or split leather.
Our cases are built to standard instrument sizing, but every instrument varies slightly. Before ordering, please message us on WhatsApp with your instrument's make, model, and body dimensions so we can confirm fit — or use the custom size field at checkout if you need a bespoke build.
The case shell and padding are built for regular touring and travel use. We don't make blanket waterproofing claims — for extended exposure to heavy rain, we recommend an additional protective cover.
Yes — use the personalisation field at checkout for engraving text, and the instructions box for anything bespoke. Our hot-stamp embossing is permanent and pressed into the grain, so it cannot peel or fade.
Every piece is made to order and delivered within 12–15 working days, via tracked delivery. Flat $20 shipping worldwide.
We offer a 30-day return policy on non-personalised items. Personalised pieces are non-returnable unless there is a manufacturing defect, in which case we remake it at no charge.
Keep it dry, wipe down after use, and condition every 3–6 months with a quality leather balm. Full guide: our leather care guide.
