Timbuk2 swig review

I have been toting around the Timbuk2 Swig Laptop Backpack for many (~6) years now. It’s great for hauling around a laptop and a few other bits of EDC (every day carry).

Roots-04

I was up in Vancouver BC over the weekend and got to check out the Roots store there. They seem to specialize in sweatpants and sweaters but they also make leather bags and accessories.

I heard about Tanner Goods over on Reddit. From what I have seen online they make beautiful products but I want to check them out in person. Their closest store (to me) is in Portland but I don’t have time right now for a special trip. Lucky me there is a stockist in town!

Logos Ruin Bags! – Mens Bags Without Logos

Logos Ruin Bags! - Mens Bags Without Logos

“Swedish Brand FjallRaven” by mkwilliams is licensed under CC BY 2.0

Ill come right out and say it. I don’t approve of giant logos on bags. I think they are tacky and I don’t need everyone to know how much I spent on a bag or who made it. This causes some difficulties as there are companies that make otherwise lovely bags, save for the giant logo. I am not interested in being a walking billboard for anyone. So what is a guy to do? Where can you get mens bags without logos

4 Alternatives to Girly Diaper Bags

4 Alternatives to Girly Diaper Bags

What is a diaper bag but a bag marketed to parents (and usually mothers)? New fathers have a lot of things to contend with. Girly diaper bags shouldn’t have to be one of them. Get yourself something you would be proud to be seen toting around the playground.

While you are contemplating that, consider a backpack instead of the cross body satchel. Backpack diaper bags are better for your back and come in a huge range of styles. Also, when your kid outgrows the need for diapers you have a perfectly serviceable backpack. That diaper bag with the cartoon characters on it is destined for goodwill or a landfill.

field bag

The Filson medium field bag is a staple of men’s bags. “Might as well have the best” is Filson’s tag line and I couldn’t agree more for something you carry with you everyday.

I have been carrying this bag for about a year now and I absolutely love it.

About

Many years ago I decided that I needed to dress better so I dove into the world of men's fashion. I learned what works for me.

In my personal style journey, one of the last things that I addressed was accessories. People discuss raw denim till they are blue in the face but accessories are often forgotten. Men's bags don't get the attention that they deserve.

Your outfit is incomplete without giving consideration to the bag you carry. Retire the high-vis nylon beater that served you well in your youth and find something more grown up. Read More…
