Vintage Military Men Canvas Messenger Bag For 13.3-17"Laptop

The canvas is very strong and comfortable, and there seems to be no defects on the stitching. The buttons, leather straps, buckles and zippers appear to be great quality. I received the XL and think the size is perfect for larger laptops/books. The inner zipper is great for keys while the outer pocket is perfect for the laptop charger and cell phone. There are two pockets on the side, but these are more difficult to get into since there is a buckle (no button) for closure. My only disappointment is that the side pockets are BARELY large enough for a standard bottle of water (and it is still snug). It would have been nice to accommodate different size drinks.For those who express concern about the lack of padding, a quick fix I use is a $10 laptop sleeve (as seen in the image below). The size of my sleeve is 16.5" X 12" (exterior) and it seems to be a great fit for the XL. Plus, I have the option of removing it when I need to carry clothes or other items.I am very happy with this purchase.

I am very pleased with this bag. I ordered the XL size, which is perfect for my 17 inch laptop. I'm a bit of a bag enthusiast, and I can tell this is definitely a higher end bag. I saw some of the reviews were questioning the quality, so I'm thinking some of those people got inferior copies. I bought mine from Kim's Republic, the vendor you buy from matters a lot on Amazon.This is a great bag to hold a laptop, a notebook or folio case, and a few pens and other smaller items. I have managed to store a Springfield Armory XD(m) 3.8 compact in a kydex pocket holster in one of the front pockets, but it was a little tight.I like the look of this bag, it is a classic military look that looks fashionable instead of tactical. I don't generally like it when people are wondering if I am carrying a gun (as bags with MOLLE tend to suggest). I could see someone using this in place of a briefcase in a day to day office environment (big meetings and other more formal events might require something more traditional).The strap is very comfortable. I didn't add a lot of weight, but what weight I did have in it was barely noticeable on my shoulder. The buckles have magnetic holders on them, so you don't actually need to buckle and unbuckle them every time you want to get in a pocket.Overall, I am very pleased that I bought this bag. It is just the right size for me to be useful without being overwhelming. It has a very decent quality to it.I have added pictures of how my XD(m) fits, as well as a 17 inch laptop with a folio and a spiral bound notebook, all three of which fit easily with enough room for more things.

Not long ago I tried a cheap $7 shoulder or “ammo” bag instead of my backpack for everyday carry of small tools, medical, and concealed carry in some cases. The shoulder bag was ok and very easy to carry but lacked the room of my backpack so I set out to find a vintage styling satchel or messenger bag. In comes Berchirly which I found on a top 10 Youtube countdown, and so far I am not disappointed at all it has a beautiful canvas and leather look which I love as I enjoy this type of rugged look. But where this bag excels is space there’s a ton of room I carry a journal, bible, agenda, tool pouch, med pouch, electronic pouch, pens, pencil, small dop kit, during the winter some gloves and a beanie and it’s not even half full; I fit a GoPro with multiple accessories on occasion and still have room for hopefully a dslr some day. Everything stays organized and easy to grab thinaks to the open setup and I could still easily slide in a small laptop but I am old school and enjoy pen and paper. There a small inside zipper pouch perfect for a small lotion tin, altoids tin, and chapstick. There’s 4 outside pockets the two large on the front you can see that have a ton of room and two small side pockets for lint roller, cologne, sunglasses cleaner and really anything you like. The two large from pockets have snap buttons the two sides are secured with leather straps that are beautiful. The front flap is secured with an easy access magnetic button that opens to a zipper to keep your belongings safe. The strap is rather comfortable even with a little weight as my bag goes everywhere with camera gear and odds and ends. A small pad is attached that you can see in the pictures, while looking good with a leather accent it is actually very comfortable. I typically don’t carry it long distance as it goes from house to vehicle to work or stays in my vehicle if I’m running errands but I wouldn’t hesitate to keep it keep on my should for extended periods if I used it as a camera bag as I plan to I’m the future. This bag has changed my whole outlook on shoulder bags.

I just got the bag and loaded it up with some file folders, a large 17" laptop, some random note pads, and writing utensils. Everything fits fantastic. I researched satchels quite extensively and settled with this one. I'm glad I did. Other bags had utility pockets or a strap on top which would be nice but this bag had the better look. The ladies love a man with a satchel. It inspires the organized but adventurous look as opposed to the brief case or computer bag look everyone else is sporting. Everywhere I go, a woman will compliment "my bag". I didn't get it for the ladies, but let me tell you, they open right up with a conversation due to it.The bag looks great, it very functional, and I have no issues with the strap or buckles. I have more than enough room for an average load, and did I mention... it looks great. Some reviewers over-stuff it and complain of faulty zippers and loosening straps. If you are overloading it, get a different bag... Obviously.The bag looks great, its durable, it looks broken in but with loads of life left in it, and it fits more junk than a laptop case. I'm a project manager and have a laptop, phone, chargers, and files that need to travel with me. This is perfect.

Les poches de côté sont trop petites pour une bouteille d'eau ou une tasse à café.. mais la qualité est bonne .
