Battle-Ready Bags

Combat Winter With Tough Military-Tested Killspencer Bags

Winter is a mean old man and he wrangles the survivor/fighter out of all of us, but at least men can now equip themselves with Killspencer bags. And it doesn't hurt that, as Mike Chino observes, “[S]imple utilitarian chic is everywhere in menswear of late.”

Durable enough to last a lifetime (or to pack a heavy AK-47), Killspencer bags, which include backpacks, messenger bags and duffles, are “made from recycled military truck tarps and coated cotton canvas.” I seriously don't know any guy who wouldn't think that was very cool.

The Repurposed Collection featuring these battle-salvaged Killspencer Bags is definitely worth picking up. If not for the military aspect, than at least for its handmade quality.
