Basket weave BW is a hand stamped pattern similar to what is seen on the police leather equipment and belts. Some motorcycle seats also have a basket weave on them and buyers add this option to match the seat or because they like the look of it. Sample pictures of basket weave can be seen here or on some of the product pages.Our standard basket weave is a 5-8 rows of the stamp through the mid section of the lid, starting by the top of the nickels and going down. The bags with the "split lid" look has the small back flap area completely done in the basket weave. Items like our 95 tool bag and 116 duffel bags have an inlaid section of the basket weave. These are the standard basket weave.Some pictures show much more basket weave, which is a custom application. It is best to call us at 888-265-9650 or email sales@leatherworksinc.com if you want a custom application.
