The Definitive MANBAG Thread: Post Feedback/Brands Here. - Page 47

Not sure if this kind of request fits for this thread, But instead of creating a new thread I figured I would start here first. I am looking for a travel size bag that I can throw a few days of clothes in for vacation. I would like something along the lines of http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Mens...6702/26702.jsp or http://jfold.com/usstore/index.html (The trooper bag) Just wanted a few opinions or other options. Nothing fancy, just something that will last for a long time and is somewhat reasonable compared to my Adidas sports bag lol.

Check out Ernest Alexander's stuff. It's slightly cheaper than your J. Crew bag and will be of infinitely better quality.

Oh wow, those look really nice, thanks.
Any other suggestions ?

i remember a brand that was brought up that makes dutch school bags in an array of colors from red to green. can't remember the name now even though i try.

^ Fjällräven.

Cross-post from Flyertalk...but maybe might get some suggestions here for something VERY foldable and compact..... A bag that can fold and not take up a lot of space within a carry-on, looks good, and isn't a Murse. Main purpose is to carry a camera or two (not DSLR), some paper and a pen (perhaps a moleskin), magazines, travel guide, ipod, etc. Obviously some sort of ballistic nylon would probably be the best solution. (or is it?) http://www.tumi.com/alpha-bravo/hori...s-body-146143/ was something I was thinking of. I actually checked out a Porter x Monocle bag though: http://shop.monocle.com/travel/porter-city-bag Any suggestions in this genre of bags? Would a really thin backpack work? I have a "messenger bag" but it seems a bit large for this purpose.

Like aqhong said, Fjällräven (or are they Swedish? Idk....). Or...if you want Danish leather school bags, also in a variety of colors: http://www.pietbreinholm.dk/ Quite noiice...

yeah that was exactly the brand i was looking for but really hate the stitching. 700+ is a lot too. Any danish school shops around that sell for cheaper?

^ email them. They have samples for sale from time to time. They gave me a quote of about $200 less than the original price. Very limited sizing and color choices of course..

i saw that but it's so fucking expensive it's not something that even registers in my brain

I might be able to get this one in black leather, big discount
WANT Les Essentiels DE LA VIE 'De Gaulle' 14″ Laptop Bag






What do you think of the style for a laptop bag? Any experience with the brand?

i only hear good things about Want les. Given the brand's majestic use of color though I would prefer something different than a basic black/gray. Still no reason to pass it up if the deal is real good!
