      @mclaincausey:

      I can’t recall the name but maybe—whatever TAD it is they did a ruck and a duffel and they are minimalistic and wonderful. The other bag is Defy Verbockel and it’s damn near perfect for a carry on.

      @cutlasshound

      Def the Azimuth. Always wanted one! Sadly by the time I went to buy from Heinnie they had sold out.

      Heard good things about the Verbockel

        Looking for a quality leather tote with a laptop sleeve that can go into backpack mode, for my wife.

        I found a Gurkha that I like, but think she may need something roomier. Ideas?

        Think it, be it.

                  @fatpaulh which one? I used to have the OG rucksack but the leather split on the strap. Filson did right by replacing it but I sold the new one.

                      @mclaincausey I can't think of any leather totes that convert into backpacks.

                      Cote & Ciel did the Moser in black leather, but it seems to be sold out in most places. It's a circular backpack whose straps can be stowed or detached to use as a tote. Havn have one in Melbourne, though I suspect it would be cheaper to source in the US.

                      https://havnstore.com/products/moselle-alias-leather-black

                      Hardgraft do the 2Unfold, which can be converted between a tote and backpack and various other styles of carry. I had one a while back, and they're really a laptop sleeve more than anything else.

                      https://www.hardgraft.com/collections/laptop-bags-briefcases/products/2unfold-offgrey

                      Kika NY have a few packs that look a bit like a tote but aren't a tote. The Road Tripper is currently on sale.

                          Nice one @Graeme re:Frank Clegg. I’ve always wondered how their pieces were in regards to fit, finish, and quality.

                            I've seen a couple of pieces, and they're very well-made but on the heavier side. I think that the English Backpack would last a long time (I'd hope so at the price), and could probably be repaired if it got damaged.

                                She got the Portland plus a laptop sleeve for under $200 on a President’s Day sale. She wouldn’t let me spoil her with a fancy option but I think this will be great. Thanks for the assists folks.

                                  Carryology are doing a collaboration with GORUCK that's made from a custom 15 oz Sashiko denim.

                                  GRXC2

                                  There's a write-up of the project at Carryology, and it's worth a read because it is completely insane in a good way.

                                  The bags go live at 2 pm Eastern Time on Thursday.

                                    Not leather but Bellroy do the following which looks nice

                                    https://bellroy.com/products/tokyo-totepack?color=midnight&gclid=CjwKCAiAl9efBhAkEiwA4TorilYBbgUNwn4N4Vb26dkRKDMbUONI29G6R0f6BVjIkCLTQgP17fEdYRoCzEAQAvD_BwE&material=baida_ripstop&shipping_to_country=GB&size=15in&store_currency=80525dfa80b1c4d080ba7d2e9291ff1dd1c8b183#slide-6

                                    I bought my Mrs a leather Tumi backpack which she really liked and used for years. Pretty sure it had a laptop sleeve. Might be worth checking to see if they do a 2 way tote.

                                        @goosehd I could not see it on design article I read the other day.

                                        On the basis the last Carryology x GR1 (Kaidan - X-Pac) I bought was circa $350 incl shipping and their collaborations seem to be getting more expensive (sure the revolting Trakke one was £400 to £500), I am anticipating that this one will be at least $450 for the GR1. It looks very nice and I am sorely tempted, but I will likely tap out if too expensive!

                                            Shame. I was genuinely excited by it, then it got to the bit in the article about the patch being made by a samurai armourer and I was like (a) Whilst cool, I could live without it and it will go straight in a box, rendering it pointless: and (b) that will massively fuck the price!
