See Now, Buy Now: This Will Leather Goods Duffle Is the Perfect Bag for All Your Fall Getaways

For as crucial as it is to keep your eye on the prize when it comes to the menswear essentials you’re packing for late summer and early fall getaways, you’ll tend to realize quickly that one of the best weekender bags for men is just as important, as we’ve so often talked about here on this Brooklyn style blog.

The way you stow and transport your favorite gear, from a perfectly crafted Oxford shirt to the right pair of do-it-all leather boots and even your dopp kit (again, a proper dopp kit!) is vital to keeping those tried-and-true essentials in fine form, it’s all the better if your stylish weekender bag of choice is built to last with heritage-quality materials.

Still with me? Good, great and grand, because the good folks at Huckberry just might have managed to track down the must-have weekender bag you’ll want to tote around all fall: The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle blends old-world craftsmanship with new-school great looks, and it could just become your new favorite weekender bag.

The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle springs from the brand’s unlikely roots (the company started out as a one-man operation selling ornate belts on the Venice Beach boardwalk, and now calls Oregon home), and carries on a tradition of modern craftsmanship. In my experience with Will Leather Goods, its leather and materials manage to feel luxurious, right down to the handles on a canvas tote bag.

The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle, made from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather in a handsome shade of Cognac, comes with a removable luggage tag and all the bells and whistles needed to pack and carry your favorite gear from point A to point B and beyond. Note the fact that the Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle features a large main compartment with a two-way top zipper for easy access, along with a separate zippered shoe compartment and an easy-hanging hook built within the bag itself.

Even the plaid lining within the durable and rugged yet fashionable Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle is carefully considered, while antique brass hardware should patina handsomely the more you use one of the best men’s weekender bags for fall.

This sturdy weekender bag also features a back leather pass-through strap to slide atop your carry-on suitcase with ease, although with the ample carrying capacity within this elegantly rustic bag, you might not need a rolling suitcase for shorter trips.

Before you strike out on your next great seasonal adventure in style, make sure the Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle is packed with absolutely everything you need — it can pass muster for the task at hand.

Best leather weekender bag for men.

100 percent full-grain leather and handsome brass hardware separate WP Standard leather goods from the pack, as you well know if you’ve read the blog and my previous WP Standard review. An internal pocket and carry-on-approved size makes the WP Standard Leather Travel Tote — among other stylish, refined-yet-rugged WP Standard bags — perfectly well-suited for spring and summer travel.

That holds true whether you toss this duffel in the back seat of your, catch a quick train ride or hop on a cross-country flight.

Style Pick of the Week: Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag – Summer’s Best Travel Bag for Men

Best weekender bag for summer travel.

When it’s time to gear up and hit the road this summer, particularly to a summer wedding or a long weekend getaway, you assuredly need the right tools for the job. One of those “tools,” of course, would be one of the best weekender bags for men.

Fully fashioned crewneck sweater to keep you warm against the harshest winter climates.

It’s an undisputed essential that can do plenty of heavy lifting in terms of hauling menswear essentials both rugged and refined, be it your favorite henley or one of the best summer blazers. Naturally, I’ve (hopefully) got the solution to round out your toolbox: The Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag, a durable, rugged and expertly crafted update to the brand’s best-selling weekender bags and leather goods.

Pricey though it might seem at first (it clocks in at a splurge-worthy $545), the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag is assuredly worth it, starting from the small details on up. For starters, it’s lined with handsome tobacco suede, and the entire bag itself also boasts hand-hammered copper rivets. Japanese YKK zippers and antique brass hardware round out the finer points in rugged, handsome and stylish fashion, too.

Best waxed canvas weekender bag for men.

So, yes indeed, the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag checks off the boxes in terms of standout design. That also lends itself to high-quality performance, at least if my experience with Satchel & Page is anything to go off (and I certainly hope it is!).

Waxed Canavas Milled In Scotland

The big key here with the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag is that 20oz. waterproof waxed suede, which should stand up to travel challenges large and small this season. Plus, both the waxed canvas and the leather with which this handsome bag is made are only sure to get better with age as they break in.

And trust me: Once you’ve used the Satchel & Page Waxed Canvas Weekender Bag this summer, you won’t want to go back to another weekender bag.

The Thursday Buy: The Filson Oil Cloth Tin Duffle Is an Investment-Worthy Summer Getaway Bag

Best duffle bag for men to buy now.

Hitting the road this summer and in search of one of the best duffle bags for men? I know I sure am, and I’d wager you’re not the only one. Before we can both pack up to hit the road, it’s worth taking stock of what exactly you’re bringing with you. Or rather, it’s worth taking stock of the rugged duffle bag you’re packing up.

Fear not: If you’ve not quite got the proper bag to meet the moment, then you’ll like what’s in store today. In my experience, one of the best duffle bags for men can start your trip off on the proper foot even before you hit the road. After all, if the bag you’re hauling doesn’t quite offer enough space or utility, well…that’s just no good, my friends.

Rugged duffle bag for men.

To get a touch more specific: That’s where the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle amps up your everyday carry in a major way. I’ve long been a fan of Filson, the Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter with a penchant for delivering uncompromising, unfailing goods — including luggage like the Filson Large Rugged Duffle.

And if you’ve tried out the brand — as I have over the years — or if you read the blog on the regular, then it should come as no surprise that the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle more than passes muster.

Rugged Filson duffle bag for men.

The specs on the seriously cool, investment-worthy Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle fall right in line with other heritage-quality Filson men’s gear, especially the brand’s durable-as-can-be Tin Cloth waxed canvas. That canvas stands up to wear and tear, bumps and abrasions, weather and more, and it gets better with age each time you pack up to hit the road.

Plus, the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle is accented with iconic Filson touches, including Bridle Leather handles and a shoulder strap that will also break in handsomely over time. Even the brass zipper is rustproof — how’s that for a touch of rugged appeal?

And for good measure, the colorway of this particular Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle is a limited-edition offering. In my experience, limited-edition Filson goods tend not to stick around forever, and that’s reason enough to add another rugged Filson men’s bag to your EDC.

How about it? If you end up packing up the Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Duffle to hit the road this summer, let me know in the comments below.
