taking advantage of a break in the brooklyn weather to remind you friends that the MA-1 preorder ends after TOMORROW!

the updated rucksack, we’re proud to say is finally beginning production.  with added padding, improved waterproofness and increased durability it’s bound to be that daily bag you’ve been seeking.  as another update, the nylon webbing we’re using is toned down a bit from the safety orange straps pictured.  we think you’ll appreciate that they’re more subtle and match the orange/red liner really nicely.

what hasn’t chaned is the highest quality waxed canvas, american zippers and solid construction that these bags employ.  relentlessly dedicated to handmaking functional, classic bags that let you push your limits.

after tomorrow, these will be selling from the webstore at the updated price.  don’t sleep on it!

we interrupt this slow+snowy brooklyn friday for a brand new bag:  the winter weekender.

what started out as a torn photo, has turned into a heavy wool+canvas weekender bag.

all materials original army surplus, made to the highest standards, given a new life.

salvaged leather details refine the rugged look and will patina beautifully with time.

plenty of room to organize your trip up north, next friday…

a few of these bags will be offered through the webstore.  i’ll be sure to let everyone know when each one becomes available.  since this bag started out as a commision, it is unique, just like the rest will be.  and so you know i’m not kidding, i am offering them like i make ‘em:  one at a time.
