Fjallraven Rucksack No. 21 Very Long Term Review

2016-11-19 by C&L 1 Comment

Fjallraven Rucksack No 21
The Fjallraven Rucksack No.21 has been a very good companion on my daily commute. I bought it because it was pretty, well made, and small. Originally I was going to do a 3 month review and then move on to my Navali messenger bag but I never made the switch. I just kept using the rucksack. Partly because it’s awesome and partly because I got super busy with my new toddler.

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…
