Forester Leather Rucksack

The problem with a plain leather rucksack is that everything ends up at the bottom of it.

This one is laid out in pockets instead: a buckled flap over the main compartment, twin pockets on the front, and open pockets on both sides. Nothing you need hourly has to go into the main body of the bag, which means the main body of the bag stays useful.

In distressed cowhide it looks like it has already been somewhere, and it is honest about intending to go again.

Why You'll Love It

Pockets are only worth having if they are reachable while the bag is on your back or in your hand, which is why these are on the front and the sides rather than buried inside. The distressed finish means the first scratch is not an event. Six months in, the flap and the pocket lids will be darker than the panels behind them, and the bag will look considerably better than it did new.
