      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.
