Luggage Bags and Packs

Sorry, I meant that the Fjallraven carries well, and that the Rofima does too. Not that @mclaincausey finds it too small!

@mclaincausey Meditation mask…? Like this??

I got in touch with Mathias Steinhauser, who made the deerskin rucksack I like.

This was roughly the same size and weight as the larger GXCR2. (50 x 40 x 15 cm, 1.5 kg.) The cost is €1500, and he currently quotes about a five-month delivery time.

I'm tempted...

Damn that’s a deluxe bag….looks like it will outlast any of us.

My new briefcase made it‘s first appearance at court today. Hamburg.

[goosehd]

The outward appearance is outstanding! What are your thoughts? Worth the commission, happy with the fit and finish, would do it again?

[tody]

@goosehd Totally worth it. I was looking for something really slick and simple, and it fits everything I need to carry. The look is fantastic, and it has the awesome smell of fresh leather...

(Court hearing went well, too. Trademark dispute, with a value of a mere half million euros. Other side got basically thrown out.)

[goosehd]

@tody Can't think of a better way to christen it, and a very hearty congratulations!

[ARNC]

@tody congratulations on the bag and the case!

[Anesthetist]

But I heard to never trust a lawyer or doctor with a new briefcase…..

[Graeme]

@tody your briefcase must be disreputable if it's already making court appearances!

It's a lovely looking piece, and I'm pretty sure it will outlast you. Also, I'm glad your case went your way.

Mountain Warehouse Volt 30L - bought for £24.99 in 2015 before I went up Mt. Etna in Sicily. Been a faithful servant since then and accompanied me to several continents, finally being retired from service

Which means I can read back through this thread and get something decent

I just ordered the Porter Tanker Case in sage from IH. Anticipated use is primarily as an organizer replacing a bulky Maxpedition MOLLE thing that I use inside my laptop ruck. I am excited to get my hands on their Tanker fabric; have listed after their rucks but thought they weren’t as business appropriate as my Rofmia.

[Anesthetist]

@mclaincausey it is def a more casual fabric in that it is a little shiny, soft, and squishy. I havent owned a bag in it yet, but the wallet I have in it feels like tiny insulated flight jacket for my cards. I have been looking at that case as well, looking forward to your thoughts.

Packing for 4-days work travel with packing cubes.

Picked up a Satchel & Page veg tan leather backpack recently. Cost an arm and a leg to get to the U.K. with the customs and VAT charges on top, but worth it. Beautiful leather, smart enough to take to the office, and a very well thought out design with the pocket and interior spaces. And the inside lining is all a very soft suede too. Wonderful piece for those that want a backpack that can do smart and casual.

[Mizmazzle]

Damn man!! That thing is gorgeous. That leather looks Divine!!

[EdH]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how it patinas. It's exceeded my expectations.

Carryology are releasing a collaboration with Matador on 23rd June. It's a trio of waterproof and foldable bags. It's a bit more minimalist than usual, but the complexity comes from the set of three.

There's a design article up on their website.
