Collected Works Co. | Military Duffle Backpack

Looking forward to getting my hands on Collected Works Military Duffle Bag. Fully sourced and made in the U.S. from waxed canvas and Chromexcel leather (cut & sewn in collaboration w/ Tanner Goods) it will foot the bill for any and every place men dare to roam. The functional flap and zip pockets keep the clean, utilitarian appearance and enhance the distinctive look of the bag. Available in both ranger tan (seen above) and olive with brown trimming, measuring in at 16″ x 12″ x 5″ and coming with the canteen cord and utility pouches and a lifetime guarantee to boot, it’s needless to say this pack is in every man’s wheelhouse.

As described by Collected Works, “The market is full of two kinds of bags. The first type is built to look great and uses high-quality materials. The other is meant to be more functional but sacrifices aesthetics. Our goal was to produce a backpack that combined the features of both those types of bags into something beautiful, durable and functional. We wanted a bag that is rugged enough to take on a day-hike and a bike commute, functional enough to organize everything you need for class or a client meeting and beautiful enough for you to want to bring it along on all occasions.” I think they’ve succeeded.

I’ll post a full photo review when it hits my doorstep but for now take a look at their Kickstarter campaign and join me in getting in on the pre-order.
