Vintage Military Men Canvas Messenger Bag For 13.3-17" Laptop

This was a Christmas gift for my college student. He wanted something that would fit his large laptop with room for his books, had a few pockets and didn't sit on his back like his backpack does. (He's a big guy - 6"5" - and said he hated backing into things and people with his loaded backpack) This bag hits all these check points and I think it's stylish, too. It looks great with his jeans or business casual at his internship. A definite step up from his old backpack and he says he's able to shift the bag to in front of his body quite easily to avoid bumping into people//things. The strap is long enough that he could wear it cross-shoulder if he chose to. It's adjustable and he wears it to where it hits him at the hip over one shoulder.The canvas is durable, military-grade and the straps are made of real and thick leather (not pleather :0). The shoulder strap is very thick as well, but is soft/flexible. He added a laptop sleeve for protection as there's none built into this bag. He has a very large laptop (17.3" screen with a 1" border all around it - I mean BIG) and this bag fits it well, even with the sleeve, and there is still room for a couple text books, notebook, chargers, earbuds, pens, pencils....etc. It doesn't look comically big at all, though. I think it's because it is soft sided and not padded. This bag is well made and I'm confident that he'll get years of use of out it. When he's finished with school, I think he could use it as an overnight bag or carry on. I highly recommend.

I bought this bag after I was left disappointed in another canvas camera bag.Reasons why I chose this are pretty simple. The canvas material looked good from the pictures, and also the leather straps were not the typical PU leather which are terrible.-First impressions are the size is good, I chose the XL size, as I plan to carry camera gear in it, mixed with a 15" macbook. So the size fits this purpose.-As a camera bag, this is unpadded, so it is not a 'camera bag' from the get go. If you plan on using it to carry just a body with a lens and maybe a couple filters/memory cards this will work in it's current state. I did this with a previous canvas bag until the straps broke from the bag.-As a real camera bag, the plan is to buy a rectangular foam camera case, that can allow me to organize my body, and two lenses. This will fit nicely in the bag.-Internally, the bag only has 1 zip, the zip is quite big, so I would possibly recommend carrying the laptop in a sleeve before sliding it in or out to avoid scratches. The zip pull is fabric so that shouldn't be an issue.-Externally, there are two pockets, perfect for filters, a small notebook etc, these are secured using two non magnetic snap fasteners per pocket. Good strength to them, compared to the magnet ones that hold main flap of the bag.-The main compartment is also secured with a big zip, however, it has open ends, so in terms of weather and loose objects, it's something to keep an eye on.Other than that, the leather straps and corner guards are nice, they seem to be weathered, and absorb scratches and marks, so it makes for a nice effect over time. The leather is also on the inner side of the shoulder strap. There is also a rear strap one could use to attach something to, I am still looking into what this could be. If there were two, the use would have been even better, say a tripod.I did notice some stitching issues, hopefully they won't lead to issues down the line.I think this is a little more expensive than the entry level canvas bags, but after having tried them, this definitely feels better, and seem so be better built, which is something to keep in mind when you are putting your camera or laptop in there.Would recommend 5 out of 5!

Took this bag to France to carry my camera and other items. It proved to be of the proper size and durability for all my needs. Although the straps on the front do not really buckle (uses snaps instead for quick access) it was still secure enough with the zipper inside to prevent an attempt by nefarious individuals at picking my pocket (bag) so to speak. It would be more secure if the straps actually buckled, and I have modified it so that they do so now.That being said, I use this bag extensively and would recommend it to anyone who requires such a bag for travel.

MUY BUEN TAMAÑO PARA LOS UTILES UNIVERSITARIOS

Muy buen material y duración, solo el color varía con la de la foto es más pálido en color café

good material choices, durable, spacious enough for laptop, wide padded shoulder strap comfortable.

Muy blando

Bought it for my tertiary going daughter and she loves it. Design is simple and the shoulder pad is comfy. Only downside, its not water resistance so for a tropical climate in Singapore, do take that in consideration
