Duluth Pack Sack

Duluth have been making great looking bags for years. We first came across them last fall with the all of the intensive searching of Japanese websites between a couple different blogs. This spring, their bags are again hitting some of those shops. I have yet to see a Duluth product in a menswear boutique on this side of the world, and it may be unreasonable to expect to see much beyond Filson in terms of traditional field gear. This pack sack by Duluth is one of the most usable and one of my favorite looking from their collection. I really love the aesthetic of a canvas and leather back, as well as a ruck suck style bag. The bag is so stripped down of any bells or whistles that I'd be surprised if it even had an inside pocket, let alone a laptop sleeve. While it looks great, it wouldn't be the most ideal bag for day to day use, but for a quick bike ride, grocery run or a great looking accessory - perfect.

I was actually going to post on this Duluth pack a while back; as it is a perfect backpack that I could wear to work and bike around town. But after consideration, I felt (and feel) that the back is just too expensive to justify as even a wish. The design is simple and classic (which is of course the appeal of the back). I agree with everything you say about the bag, and I understand the appeal of a "made in America" product, but $100-200 for this bag just kills me. Though, I do believe they are warranteed for life.

frost river bags in waxed cotton were the ones but unfortunately they folded early this year, shame i would like that above bag in wax. Duluth told me that they couldn't find a wax cotton supplier up to their standards..hmmm
