The Hoggs Caledonia tweed cartridge bag really does boast quality due to the following features:

- a faux suede detailing around the whole bag
The tweed used in the manufacture process is made from 60% wool for softness and 40% mixed fibres for durability. In addition, the bag features a magnetic/faux buckle front closure, so it is easy to open. However, when it is closed it will certainly keep your belongings safe!
Another feature of the bag is the long adjustable strap and shoulder pad which can be worn across the chest. This means you can walk or move around in comfort. Also, for extra protection, the tweed fabric has been given a Teflon coating. This invisible coating helps protects the fabric from rain damage and stains.
