We're going to preface our entire spiel about why this bag is worth purchasing with a disclaimer: we already own way too many bags. Even though our own personal inventory is quickly approaching Zappos levels, we're still buying one of these. Each one of these handmade bags is constructed of a 100% wool blanket issued ... continue reading
Since the time they opened their flagship store in SoHo, Saturdays Surf NYC has been doing things differently.

Both bags are made of cotton ... continue reading

Unless your real life plays out like something out of an AMC TV show, or you work for law enforcement, you've probably never worn a real holster. [Note: Those things IT guys used to wear on their belts for their Blackberries do NOT count.] Four Chamber Forge wants to make them stylish without requiring they be used ... continue reading
Cards on the table, at least one of our Editors is guilty of having worn a Blackberry belt holster at some point in time. [Ed. Note: It was for like one hour, and they'll never let me live it down.] Anyway, those things suck. They look horrible; they're barely functional; they fall apart quickly and they look horrible. ... continue reading
We could go on for days about how awesome the things coming out of Mission Workshop are. There's no other entity in the bag industry with their finger on the pulse of what people want like Mission Workshop, and we've probably said something like that before. The R2 Arkiv Field Pack picks up where the last Arkiv Field ... continue reading
The importance of protecting your gadgets isn't something that we need to explain to anyone reading this--especially when it comes to iPads. The base model (16g) with WiFi and 3G costs $529 without tax and shipping (we know because we just had to replace ours), which isn't an inconsequential amount of money. Meshmedium ... continue reading
Kickstarter has fundamentally changed the way people get products to market, and the story of Vinted is one them.

Plus, backpacks are just as cool now ... continue reading
A backpack really only has one purpose: Hold shit. When a bag happens to look amazing in the process, well that's just an awesome perk. The Adelanto Backpack from Vans' California line receives high marks in both of those categories. Besides coming equipped with side pockets, lash straps, an external laptop sleeve ... continue reading
Amassing a collection of bags is an easy task these days. It’s also kind of ridiculous if you think about it. You need a bag because you’ve collected too much stuff that you need to carry all the time, but in the process you’ve acquired enough bags to warrant having a box (or a bigger place) for them. But we ... continue reading

If you could see into our closet right now you would probably agree that we have too many bags. Camera bags for days when we're shooting.

We need ... continue reading

There isn’t much we can tell you about this bag outside of the fact it’s produced by Merchant & Mills and it looks good. Oh yeah, and it’s made by you. You buy the kit that includes all the parts and pieces (presumably a bunch of oilskin and cord) and comprehensive instructions and then you DIY yourself a pretty ... continue reading
