    LL: thought you might be interested in a few more names:

    Buzz Rickson's sews WWII replicas. Obsessively.

    Duluth makes traditional packs.
    http://www.duluthpack.com/

    Frost River does the same (based on images, it's likely the same manufacturer).
    http://www.frostriver.com/canoe_packs/canoe_packs_menu.html

    Apologies if I've duplicated or overlooked comments you've already made about these folks.

    Thanks for the site!
