About the brand
In the summer of 1985 the brothers Peter and David Jacobsen played the Old Course, and the caddie master, Rick MacKenzie, assigned himself to carry double. He took one look at their oversized bags, shook his head, pulled out the essentials and loaded the lot into a single leather pencil bag.
Back in Oregon they had a local leather worker copy it. That became the MacKenzie Walker, named after the caddie, and today's version is almost identical to the first. The bags are still made by hand in Portland, fewer than a thousand a year.
Simple. Beautiful. Useful. The earliest decisions about the MacKenzie Walker provided us the same mantra we follow today.MacKenzie's own site
