Know before you buy
Yes, its dimensions are designed to meet standard airline carry-on requirements, making it an ideal choice for short trips and overhead bin storage.
The Rugged Twill is lightly waxed to provide significant water and abrasion resistance. While it will keep your belongings dry during a commute or light rain, it is not intended to be fully submerged in water.
The bag features two interior stow pockets, which are useful for keeping smaller items like chargers, keys, or travel documents separated from the main compartment.
The Bridle Leather handles are designed to wrap around the entire circumference of the bag, providing structural support that allows you to carry heavy loads without compromising the integrity of the twill fabric.
The heavy-duty, rustproof brass zipper is built for longevity. If you find the zipper becomes stiff over time, you can apply a small amount of wax or graphite to the teeth to ensure smooth operation.
