I recently purchased the canvas messenger bag for work as i had worn through 3 bags in about 2 years. I am sure this is the last bag I will purchase as it is perfect for carting folders and books back and forth. It is quite roomy for all that I carry and has a very comfortable shoulder strap. I really like the side pockets for my LL Bean Klean Kanteen water bottle which fits perfectly. As always you can just tell the quality of the bag is typical LL Bean, I will have it forever. I love the washed look of it also. It is not a boring bag at all.
I had been looking for a perfect messenger bag for myself for months. This bag has lots of space to store my books and lunch and side holders, one for my tea and other for my water bottle. The design is simple and mature. I love it!
I searched for quite awhile for a solid messenger bag that was the right size and masculine enough that I wouldn't be embarrassed carrying it around. I was ready to give up before I found this one. Excellent bag for a fair price.
This is a great bag, I have had several over the years and have found that this bag has so much room, almost to much! I can fit everything into it and still have room for more. Sturdy construction and quality material this one should last for a very long time.
