I've been looking for the 'perfect' travel bag/pack for quite a while and narrowed the search to these possibilities - Filson medium duffel (222), pullman (243), & large travel bag (248); Red Oxx 'Sky Train' (Made in Billings, Montana) http://www.redoxx.com/Airline-Carry-On-Luggage/Sky-Train/91019/100/Product#reviewList ; and MEI Voyageur (supposedly made somewhere in the USA) http://www.meivoyageur.com/ <br /><br />My own criteria includes:<br />1. Largest size that can be carried on to a plane (roughly 21" x 14" x 10" or 45 linear inches total)<br />2. Not too heavy (which is the ding against all the Filson's mentioned above)<br />3. Can be carried over the shoulder or, ideally, also like a backpack<br />4. Functional & well-designed <br />5. Suitable as your sole bag for a weekend getaway or a 4 week trip to Europe (other than a camera/sundry/rucksack-type bag)<br />6. Looks great! <br /><br />I’d love to know AC’s thoughts on the matter.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291120645577629693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-78996479601183105182010-11-24T01:43:23.863-08:002010-11-24T01:43:23.863-08:00my laptop and i can't wait for THE bag, i had ...my laptop and i can't wait for THE bag, i had a great fishing one from a traditional french manufacture that i bought in 1975 at La Samaritaine, it just died two years ago and i haven't been able to find a proper replacement sinceetc,etchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14265658874920138127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-69144020164277922062010-11-22T11:49:05.560-08:002010-11-22T11:49:05.560-08:00How soon is soon?

I had 30lbs in my Archival Rucksack. There were 170 or so of us in this 6+ mile ruck commemorating MGen Alison; he led the troops in Burma in the 40s. I cannot tell you how many people commented on my Archival Ruck asking me where I got this vintage bag - a few wondered if it dated from Alison's days . Some looked closely and noticed the fine attention to detail. I can also say that the 30lbs were evenly distributed and did not once bother me; others had much larger (modern) rucks but struggled at times. Yours was a stand out that could not go by unnoticed even if it tried. Only to say many of my military compatriots were impressed and wished they had such am impressive ruck.

For British bags, we refer you to Chapman or Brady.<br /><br />@JD - The Duluth field satchel is a fine bag. Ours will be at a much higher level of finish and material quality (and, of course, a higher price point!).

They do great, reinforcing (rather than cosmetic) repairs free of charge. <br />They'll also make any bag without the moose patch if that's a bother.JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-35765817882134745232010-11-17T12:02:11.422-08:002010-11-17T12:02:11.422-08:00I have the current edition Barbour dry fly bag. I...I have the current edition Barbour dry fly bag. It's made in China! The netting was knotted then dyed, so slowly the knots are stretching out leaving white spots where the dye didn't penetrate. The leather straps are 2 pieces of leather laminating a piece of fabric, the fabric is fraying leaving long strands of fiber that need to be snipped about once a month. <br />The plus side? The removable liner is great when I want to use the bag for something else beside fish. Oh and the netting is great for carrying extra croquet balls.HOMhttp://horribleoldman.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-64001798752675553572010-11-17T08:33:11.454-08:002010-11-17T08:33:11.454-08:00We wait with baited breath..
