At the best of times, the best men’s style can be both practical and well, highly stylish. The right balance of form and function is essential when it comes to the best everyday carry gear, as proven by my friends at heritage-inspired leather goods brand Satchel & Page.

They do things the right way, using rich leathers, time-honored silhouettes and exceptionally sturdy designs — and yes, that means they merge form and function quite handily.

Take the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Garment Bag. You very well might be familiar with my Satchel & Page review of the brand’s handsome leather weekender bags and much more, but this style gets a little more specific.

It also arrives just in time for travel to spring and summer weddings (and business trips, and coastal getaways where you feel like suiting up). It serves a highly distinctive purpose, but it’s a much better move than hauling your suit or blazer in your carry-on bag — let’s find out why, shall we?

The Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Garment Bag carries on the brand’s penchant for blending the rugged with the refined, using rich Italian, vegetable-tanned leather that should develop a handsome patina with time.

Of course, British sourced, 20 oz. waterproof waxed canvas adds extreme durability while resisting water, wind and bumps and scuffs — all crucial for keeping your fine tailoring looking its best.

Better still is the fact that the remarkably well-made Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Garment Bag boasts space for not one, but two full-sized suits. Together with an interior pocket for toiletries and accessories, it’s as downright useful as it gets.

Haul the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Garment Bag around by its durable leather handles or the padded leather shoulder strap, and then wonder why you never had this garment bag in your EDC rotation before. It’s here just in time for the season ahead, and that’s more than enough reason to score one now, then pack it up accordingly with menswear essentials.

When adventure calls, as I’ve learned in my many freelance writing pursuits, I find it’s best to heed that call and hit the road. That holds true whether it’s trekking to a USA-made menswear factory, writing about one of the best new watches on the market or trying out a fine dram of new whiskey.

It’s that final pursuit that finds me hitting the road once again today, and it’s also that final pursuit that finds me trekking to one of my favorite places on the planet: The city of Dublin and the lovely Irish countryside. I was last in Dublin last spring, as I visited the countryside and County Wicklow with Glendalough Gin, and this spring’s trip is in a similar vein.

What’s on tap and in my glass? A special press trip with acclaimed and iconic Irish whiskey company Tullamore D.E.W., this time in celebration of new Tullamore D.E.W. Honey. On the itinerary is some time spent strolling and sipping in Dublin, plus two nights in Galway, plenty of Irish whiskey and distillery behind-the-scenes looks, and a stop at a legendary hurling match (yes, hurling — what a sport!).

Of course, you can follow along with all the fun on my Instagram, and you can still expect regular dispatches on the best men’s spring style and more. I’ll certainly be packing my favorite spring menswear from retailers like Huckberry, as the blustery Irish spring weather will call for some of the best waxed jackets on the market.

For now, let me point you to yesterday’s post on one of the best spring blazers, a fine way to outfit yourself in tailored style for the weekend ahead. Tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week promises a tried-and-true spring style essential, as well. And in the meantime: Cheers, thank you for reading and thank you for your support!
