Occidental Leather 8089 M OxyLights 7 Bag Framer Set

Been running this set up for about a year now with the leather suspenders and im happy i finally pulled the trigger. Most comfortable bags ive ever owned. Pricey, but these bags are top quality and actually last

Love it!

I have used my bags and suspenders for two years now. If you work in hot climates and sweat a lot get ready to ruin every pair of pants and shirts you wear. When the leather gets wet the dye fades on your clothes and will not wash out. I keep thinking after a period of time the dye will all be gone but so far that hasnt happened. Durability and comfort is great. Too pricey for most craftsmen. Would I buy them again? No not when having to wear stained work clothes everyday. Wranglers are $40.00 a pair and Carhart Tees are $20.00. Add 5 days of those to price of pouches.

The tape holder is kinda small. I use a Milwaukee and it does not fit. Very durable and can last years.

Awesome set of bags they are lighter than some of the other Occidentals. But they hold up just as well.

Quality product

Buy these instead of cheap bags. They will last longer and will have a lower cost of ownership as the years tick by. Remember that your most important investment is yourself and youre in it for the long haul! Get yourself this and a quality set of tools to put in it and you will have a core set of tools that will last your entire career. Or until some jerk steals your sweet stuff. These are excellent bags. Very comfortable to wear, well thought out construction with plenty of spaces for all my stuff. I can carry a pretty ridiculous amount of tools in these and theyre still reasonable to move around in. I wish the spot for my nail puller were a little different because its starting to wear into the wooden handle of my hammer. Im probably going to break the handle on my hammer this year, though, so its not a big deal to me.

Good bags

Ordered the bags and arrived beautiful, almost hesitant to wear them, real artwork...the problem is that I ordered based off their fit scale and got an XL...I need a L. I need to exchange the belt. I had to use the bags for work so I took the bags off the belt and used an old belt, keeping the XL belt like new so I can exchange it...I emailed Oxy and sent a message on their contact us page on their website over a week ago and still no reply...next step is to try to call during my break during normal business hours...but with time change and them only working till 3pm its hard to find time to call M-F because I work 12hr shifts M-F. Like I said, I love the bags, and proud they are made in USA...but come on...spend $300 on some canvas bags and I cant get a hold of anyone...if I knew this was going to be the case I would have just returned the entire set and reordered..customer service has been non existent and I guess I expected more from a premium brand here in the states. UPDATE: Evidently OCCIDENTAL isnt the seller here, its some other distributor, Occidental finally got back to me and said that they would exchange the XL belt to a Large belt for $25....I would have been better off returning the set that didnt fit and just ordering a Large belt set and avoided a $25 fee. This should be more clear when ordering on Amazon. Like I said, I like the bags but this entire experience has put a bad taste in my mouth....CAVEAT EMPTOR indeed....

amazing, only issue was there isnt really a good place for my framing square
