A subsect of current mens’ fashion is the 1930’s-canoe-guide look.  A bag like this befits that look, and will age very well.  This one is called The Great Outdoors, and the name behind it is Sketchbook.  Very similar to the Archival rucksack and the Brooks rucksack, but hey- everyone’s got particularities.  They’re on Etsy, give ‘em a look.  via GQ.

If you’ve been following MLG for a while, you know we’re proponents of backpacks.  Sometimes you need both hands while toting a bag, and a single strap is just plain uncomfortable.   Exciting simplicity comes in the form of this Archival Clothing backpack.  We’re taken by the subtle red stitching used sparingly.

From the creators of Chrome (who sold it a few years ago to a bigger company) comes Mission Workshop, a bag company making items in a not-surprisingly similar vein as Chrome’s lineup.  Minimal, dark, hi-tech cycling-oriented backpacks and messenger bags.  No seatbelt buckles in sight.  Nice!

Here’s a great military-inspired backpack from Fjällräven, made from waxed waterproof canvas.  Any company with umlauts over TWO a’s gets our seal of äpproväl.
