Each J.W. Hulme Co. Graystone Canvas Dopp Style Travel Kit is a masterpiece of canvas and leather. Already tough and durable, the Graystone canvas used in its construction is waxed to lend it additional protection. Over time, the wax rises to the surface, creating a pattern of shades and streaks unique to each piece. In contrast, the leather of the travel kit bag is distressed to enhance its appearance without compromising its strength. Combined, these elements lend this product an antique appearance over the fruits of modern engineering.
In 2003, J.W. Hulme Co. reduced its production numbers in an astounding demonstration of its commitment to ensuring that each one of its bags lived up to its high standards. It refused to either use automation or outsource to overseas labor, instead entrusting its production to American craftsmanship. As a result, all of the products from J.W. Hulme Co. are handmade, undergo personal inspections, and are attached to a two-year manufacturer guarantee.
