I'm looking for a preferably leather messenger bag that looks well aged and broken in (in a good way). Any advice on where i would have the best luck running into one. Beacons Closet and Buffalo Exchange by me in BK never have mens bags. Thanks.

What Goes Around Comes Around down in the village isa great spot for anything vintage. They're pricey, but they have the best vintage collection in NYC, hands down.
