 It’s getting to be that time of year again. I love the fall. I dig that pack, is it leather? 
 It used to be an Eberlestock vapor.

It was my brother's. He blew the zipper out, and Eberlestock sent him a replacement. I ended up with the old pack and cut off everything but the back panel which contains a rigid plastic frame. 

I then got some strapping and buckles from Amazon and made the front panel from leather, and attached the straps to fit the existing loops on the pack. 
 Macgyver ingenuity, brilliant!
