      Is there anyone owning the Filson Duffle in size medium? What are your thoughts on this? I'm considering getting one for my daily use to carry sports stuff (I play TT in a club) and use it for that occasional weekend trip.

        X-PAC is where it’s at. Just love how much I can haul with this combo and the duffel packs down into its own pocket.

        Think it, be it.

          Is that the TAD Azimuth?

            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.

              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.

                                            I ain't got time to bleed.
