Classic Backpack
The trick to determining whether something is truly timeless, is to ask yourself whether you can imagine your grandfather donning it when he was your age. Clean and simple, Herschel Supply Co’s “Classic” style aces the test. The archetypical design is the one that started it all: just the right size for your gym kit, as well as a laptop, it’ll be your constant companion for years to come.
Cruz Messenger Bag
Not just for students or couriers, a messenger bag is a slimline alternative to a backpack – but equally as functional. In fact, it’s safe to classify the messenger as the ultimate commuting bag for those on the move. This one is sized to easily fit a notebook, sunglasses and all your other daily essentials. Plus, it can be worn cross-body or slung over your shoulder.
Nineteen Belt Bag
Never underestimate the practical merits of a belt bag. It was a stroke of luck when the style became popular again a few years ago: they’ve got heaps of retro appeal, but these compact carriers are also undoubtedly a smart, serviceable choice. This one is equipped with numerous slots and compartments for stowing smaller items, as well as a sturdy, adjustable strap so you can wear it in a variety of ways.
Dawson Backpack
It’s hardly surprising that you can still trace the history of most modern menswear to its military beginnings. Consider items such as the MA-1 flight jacket or lace-up combat boots: these are articles that are built to last. Based on carry-all packs toted by servicemen, this extra large backpack – with its roomy external pockets and tough webbing straps – follows the same functional rationale, but thanks to the slick sailcloth fabric and deep navy hue, feels a touch more streamlined.
