You may like this bag, based off a map case, from Billy Kirk:

The leather is very nice, and there are a variety of colors to choose from.

You can get the back one from Revolve for under $300, and I think that you can even use a coupon to bring it down to close to $250. Vintage map bags are tough to come by. Before, say, 2002, they were not so hard to find, but nowadays, vintage buyers working for Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie, etc... are buying up anything remotely good. The good thing about a new bag is that you will be sure that no rot has set in, and you can treat the leather and keep it supple and moist from the beginning.

What's the practicality of having a map bag ? Its too thin for anything useful

If you want something super cheap, have you thought about swedish gasmask bags? You can get them super super cheap. Just a thought to pick something up cheap until you found the perfect one you're looking for. I have one to use on occasion.

Cool idea, but I can imagine a hundred sufu kids lugging those and ruining the novelty. Cool nonetheless.

Hundreds of sufu kids across the entire world? I'm not really worrying about novelty wearing off, as &quot;internet played&quot; isn't a big deal to me

I store my GPS unit in mine.

It's helpful if you only need to carry a few things like some papers, thin folders, wallet, ipod, phone and pens.

I'm going to get a messenger bag when I get one of these I think you might be able to toss it in there. Definitely a more stylish way to carry around your computer than most laptop cases.
