Simple is good, but today’s market is flooded with messenger bags that have forgotten the concept. They come tailored with pockets for everything: your cellphone, your iPod, your laptop, some spare change, your pen, a piece of dental floss, some lint you found the other day in your pants, a hot dog, and one of those weird crinkly silver emergency blankets. Ideally, you need a bag that carries stuff and looks good doing it. Oceanist got it right then: simple, classic style, solid build, and yes, it carries shit. Perfect.
