Thoughts on this brand?

I am interested in picking up a new Dopp kit.

Here are the 2 choices.
The first is a brown waxwear.
The second is black drill nylon.

Thoughts??

it's dopp kit.

and i think with something like this, the construction is probably second to the looks. i can't imagine what you'd do with a dopp kit to mess it up, so if you agree with the fabric and size of this one, go for it?

the waxwear is nice because of how it wears. but then again, its a dopp kit, ya know?

The jack spade dopp kit I have seems to be of decent quality, it's the grain leather one though.

From your two choices, I'd go with the brown waxwear. The color of the brown waxwear looks good in person and the fabric itself seemed durable from my experience.

a waxed canvas material. passing your nail along it will create scratches in the wax, and as you like you can heat up the material and smooth out the wax.

Will the waxed canvas bleed?
