Luggage Bags and Packs

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

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

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.

@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.
Although temp there will be 20deg C, I will give 326 IND a chance

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.

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

Carryology have a Facebook group for bag enthusiasts. If you think that you've got a problem, it's nothing compared to most of the posters there.

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.

Just ordered Mrs Jerkules a Master-Piece Link backpack. She always steals my bag for work and it gets super annoying, sometimes she doesn’t empty my shit and heads off with my headphones or something. In my attempt to get her something “nice” (she’s awful at spending money on herself), I’ve made the mistake of buying her a better bag than the one I use, and now I’m jealous. Might start stealing it as payback.
I know next to nothing about packs and this kind of gear. Anyone have experience of this brand/backpack?
-
I've never checked out any Master-Piece in person but I know it's pretty highly regarded. Always great looking, this one being no exception! I dig the carabiner — reminds me of Epperson Mountaineering but a little more sophisticated.

@Graeme good lord they need an editor. That was the apotheosis of TLDR. “Odyssean epic?” You mean an odyssey?
I’m a bit intrigued by the concept but couldn’t make it through the ramblings of someone who enjoys hotboxing themselves with their own literary farts.
