We’re not naive. We know you have a lot of options. Well, a lot of options when it comes to how your going to get all your crap home with you. And you’re not alone when it comes to this dilemma. Try to repurpose one of your old man’s bags and you’ll find it has no iPad pocket. Buy new and you don’t get the vintage hardware or styling. J. Crew gives you the best of both worlds with the Bowery Messenger Bag. The carefully distressed, rugged waxed cotton canvas exterior wouldn’t be complete without antiqued brass finish hardware and leather trim. J. Crew also threw in some extra pockets, an adjustable shoulder strap, and two color ways if you’re not an olive guy.
