At Anthology Gear, our attention to detail is uncompromising. Every cut, stitch and rivet is worked and reworked until it’s perfect. We fervently work with a drive to create something of lasting value. And beyond our legacy, we hope to create pieces that become a significant part of yours.
Drummers, if you’ve given up on the dream of finding a stick bag you can show off like a 20-minute solo, hold steady a moment and allow us to present “The Seville”. Given that drumming is all about staying in the pocket, it’s fitting that our drumstick bag is all about pockets ? built with plenty of pouches and dividers to keep your sticks and stuff organized.
Sticks will come and splinter, as they should, burned up like fuel, but The Seville drumstick bag is built to keep time forever, braving the beatings of the road while burnishing beautifully with every mile, capturing and expressing the solid, unrelenting journey of the drummer in all its varied tempos.
Our drum-pounding brothers and sisters deserve nothing less. Salute.
Our stick bags are hand-made with the highest quality full-grain leathers. All of our leather stick bags have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality.
Our bags are built to last. We use only the strongest industrial grade threads; the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. Our zippers are all industrial grade as well.
Full-grain: The best leather money can buy. The closer we get to the surface of the hide, the more dense the fibers and grain. The further you get away from the surface the more likely the leather will weaken and pull apart. Full-grain leather is the strongest, most durable compared to any other type of leather. Beyond the attributes of strength and durability, full-grain leather also retains the oils and preservatives, causing the leather to burnish and beautify with age. Over time, our leather will develop real, distinguishing character. We never spray paint our leather to look aged or give it personality. Fake distressing is like lip-syncing at a live performance. We don’t do fake. Sure, full-grain is much more expensive, but it’s well worth it. Now, if you’re curious, our list continues with the three other types of leather we don’t use:
Top-grain: Not as strong and durable as full-grain and doesn’t age as well. Top-grain has the very top of the hide shaved off to eliminate aesthetic imperfections. But see, at Anthology Gear, we like these imperfections; they add character to the leather. Top-grain is like digital, auto-tuned vocals. We’re about analog.
Genuine: Genuinely worse than top-grain. When I was younger, I always assumed genuine leather must be good. Hey, it’s “genuine”. Well, so is acne. Next!
Bonded: The hot dog of the leather world. In other words, leftover scraps are ground up and glued together kind of like particleboard. Now you know.
