Waxed canvas bag

I've been searching around extensively and I was wondering if I could get the input from the fine patrons in this forum. I know this has been done to death.

I'm looking for a waxed cotton bag. My first thought was the Filson original briefcase, but I'm not very happy with the color selection, and feel that while it might be a nice bag for class (giving off that yuppie vibe) it might not be a great bag to have out on the mean streets.

I was referred to the Archival Clothing field bag and so far it's my favorite bag. However, it seems slightly bulkier than I need and is quite expensive for my budget.

It's younger cousin, the Archive Flap Musette looks a bit smaller and is definitely cheaper. So far it's looking to be my best choice. I'm just not sure what can be expected on the quality of the closure or the bag itself.

Are there any other bags I should check out? I really need something with a strap for when I bike (which is frequently) but if it has handles and a removable strap that would be great too.
