* The Top 10 Boots Ever: • THE 10 BEST BOOTS FOR ...
I've spent years drooling over waxed canvas backpacks from all over the industry and I think I've come up with the best curated list you'll find. This material is tough, tear resistant, ages well, and looks cool as hell, but it's not just limited to old timey "heritage" bags - you can find on bags that are office friendly and even trendy bike commuter friendly if you know where to look. Scroll down to see the picks!
1. Best: Filson's Journeyman Backpack
Jack Ryan's backpack of choice, this is the best combination of traditional and useful - it's not just a canvas sack, it's got a padded laptop sleeve, interior zippered pockets, and more.
Shop: filson.sjv.io/6eq1bq
2. Coolest: Bradley Mountain's Wilder
If you DO want something super old timey and heritage, Bradley Mountain has you covered with their extraordinarily thick Wilder backpack. Made by a small Californian company, they have a variety of bags to suit your needs.
Shop: www.bradleymountain.com/produ...
3. Best Value: Frost River's North Bay Daypack
A superb American company with a huge range of waxed bags, the only real downsides are the design could be more modern and you (usually) can only pick one color.
Shop: amzn.to/3Ma2f1y
4. Most Modern: Winter Session's Waxed Canvas Backpack
If you like waxed canvas but don't like the typical old timey look, Winter Session's bag comes in a variety of hip colors and a super simple design that's ideal for students.
Shop: www.winter-session.com/collec...
5. Most Technical: Mission Workshop's Sanction AP
This waxed bag would be completely at home on a bike messenger or any fan of technical backpacks, with waterproof lining, a sternum strap, and features galore.
Shop: fave.co/30oXGf2
6. Best Roll Top: Pack Animal's Rally Pack
An eye catching roll top made with waxed twill rather than canvas, it's a fun mix of old and new with zippered access and bright, veg tan leather. Note that unlike all the other American made bags, this one's made in China and sold out of Los Angeles.

Tiny correction: the Mission Workshop is called the Sanction AP (not the Sanction) and some of Frost River's bags are available in one or two other colors than tan - the North Bay Daypack also comes in black! * Also, check out my Top 10 Best Boots! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9kuHyyefNGE.html

If possible you should do a review on that winter session backpack, I've been looking around and I cant find information on it anywhere on the internet! Also, I was curious about the size of water bottle that you can fit in the journeyman's water bottle pockets. Do those pockets go all the way to the bottom of the pack?

Took some convincing for me to pick up a Journeyman but the more I use it the more I like it. Great general purpose pack and my perfect “personal item” carry on. I’ve thrown gear in it to head out hunting, yet it looks good going through the airport in a sport coat. As you point out, not many (or any?) others can do that.

I bought the Filson one after watching ur video on it awhile back, then it took that bag for a short hike with me at Yosemite, and..... i briefly put the bag on my shorts, then somehow the green color got transffered onto the shorts..... So yea, don't put canvas bag on ur clothing, especially if u just hiked a trail that can get ur things wet. But i still love this bag.

Never heard of these brands but i have 2 Romanian army backpacks and a Tornister from 1937 ( Offenbach SS). I think the Tornister its the most beautiful in the world and the Romanian army its the ancestor of the Tornisters and also the japanese imperial army Randoseru. Tornister and Randoseru are tiny,romanian its quite big and rugged ,with verry thick leather like you wont see on any otther bag .

Billy Kirk's No. 297 Standard Issue is a really nice 20L 10.10 oz backpack with a full grain veg tanned leather made in US. It even sometimes goes on sale for under $300. I picked up a J Crew collaboration one over 10 years ago and it's still serving me well today. Edit: I just saw that you included it in your article 👍.

You missed Duluth Pack, not Duluth trading co. And I agree with Frost River, I’ve had some of their outdoor bags, 20 times better made than Filson. Filson has style, but now lacking in quality, their clothing has fit issues as well, they are also very expensive for what they offer, excluding the Mackinaw jackets and some accessories, belts, hats, etc. Duluth bags have the same quality as Frost River but they offer allot of options in color and city type bags, and my fav, conceal carry, although you have to search for that.

@gabepaz2640 2 месяца назад

I’ve owned 2 colors of the journeyman during different times of my life and both times I believed it to be the most over rated product I have ever owned by far. Too small for almost anything, only useful for a few hours away from home to be honest.
