Archival for Wilderness Workshop Rucksack

We're thrilled to announce one of our most striking rucksack collaborations-with Archival stockist, Jason McKenzie of the Wilderness Workshop. Jason's rucksacks are made from a special 7.68 oz deadstock "tent drill" fabric that he salvaged from a venerable outdoor store in Boston. Jason speculates that the fabric is from 1950s or 60s. According to Jason, it "does not indicate anything about its origin of manufacture which means that it probably predates FTC rules about such things." Like all our rucksacks, these are made in Springfield, Oregon to our original design specifications. The bags are available exclusively through the Wilderness Workshop.
