Sell it to me? I'm looking to get the 256 in brown...

Just picked this up from TJ Maxx yesterday. I really like Samsonite Black Label. Lots of nice details. I think my wife is probably going to use this more than I am, so I'm stuck with an old gym bag.

Where are they sold? I rarely see them and don't know of any online distributors.

I am using my Krane "Arkan" duffle in washed black leather. One really nice design feature is that the leather is extremely soft and drapey, so it looks good even when mostly empty, but has surprising volume (right now I have it stuffed with enough stuff for a 10 day trip.)

I think that the retail is about $900-1K.

I think it is a combination of it being made in USA, relatively cheap, simple looking and durable that made it popular on SF.

I have an all black billy kirk day bag... same one that jkissi has and the one razele is talking about.

Is Billykirk excluded from the Revolve first-time discount? Had my eye on the BKCircus weekend bag, but it doesn't sound like they're getting it back in stock. The black/navy BK carryall bag was my next choice. With that Revolve code, the price difference will be negligible.

I like the Numero10 bags, and thought about picking one up (they sell them at Jack Straw Filaments in Seattle. My big concern was that the leather and overall construction didn't look nearly as damage-resistant as the Krane bag. And having your luggage spilling out in the middle of the airport is a traveller's nightmare (and you'll be stuck with a piece of crap that you get from the duty free.) The styling is nice though.

Have you received it yet? How heavy is the canvas compared to a filson? I'd never heard of the brand, looks good.

I use a property of bag for short trips. It's fine, not terribly tough, though.
