Waxed Canvas Backpack

Bag is a lighter in color then the photo but its sturdy, easy to carry, looks great with all my fits and all my friends think it looks great.

Wow, I have finally found THE backpack. At first I was put off by the price, being significantly higher than most other items in it's class. But it was completely worth it. I wish I could give it six stars instead of five.I like the "messenger bag" concept and have had quite a few. A bag that is small, has pockets to organize, and is easy to carry by hand. The problem has always been that messenger bags don't usually have a good way to wear them on your back. One shoulder or another ends up taking all the brunt of the load.This backpack is fantastic. It really functions as either a "messenger bag" or a backpack, something that I have been looking for. Some points, not in any particular order.* Very comfortable to wear on your back as a backpack. It sits well and can be carried that way for a while without wearing on the shoulders or sitting awkwardly. The effect is that even with a heavy load, it's not uncomfortable.* The straps are super easy to adjust quickly. Thus, it can go from fully "on your back" to on a shoulder in a flash.* In part because of the previous point, it works great just slung over your shoulder. You can quickly (in under 2 seconds) slide out one of the shoulder straps, sling it around the way you like, and then tighten it up.* The shape is just right. It is flared slightly at the top, something that I would not have thought to be important. The effect is that it is easy to carry in one hand as well. Also, it works well both when mostly empty and when packed.* The above mentioned shape makes it super easy to quickly get stuff out of it while moving through an airport or on the go.* I think the pockets are just right. Some reviewers have lamented the lack of a side pocket. To me, such would have messed up the clean lines and unique shape. The closures on the pockets are great too. The top zips, which provides extra security. The back pocket has a snap. The flap has both snaps and straps. The overall effect is that you can choose how secure you want to make things versus ease of access. I love this. If you are moving quickly, you can pop stuff in and just close the flap with the snaps. If you want more security, zip + snaps + straps.* The construction and material to me appear to be excellent. I normally favor leather, but waxed canvas works great. It has just the right amount of stiffness to make it retain it's shape well. It repels liquid. And it looks fantastic.* Inside pockets are great for carrying a computer / tablet, keys, phone, etc.Bottom line.. this has become my "go to" backpack. The one I take with me every day. It was completely worth the price. I only wish I would have found it sooner and saved money on others bags that never quite did it.

Well made, good looking bag with quality hardware and leather, I purchased this for my young son to use as a school book bag. He likes it, and has received a lot of complements because of it from both students and adults. It also travels well and is a good size for knocking around town for the day when you just need a few things to keep you supplied. I will say, the side pockets are tight and tough to get even a slim water bottle to fit. That said, it is a bag that will hold up well over time, is comfortable to carry, simple to organize, and looks very good.

Seriously, amazing quality. The canvas is thick and well water proofed. I never thought this backpack to be so well crafted. Thankfully the buckles are for show. Fastening buckles is pure punishment. No, each connection uses magnetic closures. And the great part is that they hold securely.I can see this backpack will last a lifetime. Leather and canvas! What more could you want? It could sell for $200 so this price is a steal. Get one!

Great backpack. My husband uses it for work. Has no complaints.

My daughter told me today as we are getting ready for school that 2 of the magnet button parts fell off last year..for an almost $100backpack i was hoping it would last more then 1 year...Hopefully the manufacturer will reach out and send replacement buttons at least

Beautiful with sturdy construction for traveling.
