Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

Too many duffle bags of all types of materials to count but if I have to buy another canvas duffle bag now, i would buy the Cravar CO Travel duffle in canvas/leather. Good looks, organization, full leather bottom, veg tanned leather. All for $360 delivered. For the price of the Filson you can get the all leather version. Filson bags have become so expensive. I can't believe my 2006 Medium Field Bag is now $595.

    For a bag this size I just use an early 90's German Bundisweiser mountain rucksack somebody gave me as a teenager. If I didn't have that I'd buy a USGI medium A.L.I.C.E pack at the local surplus store. For a larger back I use the big ol' USGI duffle bag my dad handed down to me. I've used it a ton, but don't really go anywhere these days and it's now used to store mu summer clothes under the bed.

    Bags made in the USA. I have a Filson that I got from my in-laws. I had the chance to claim a garment bag and a second duffle but I was an ignorant fool and turned them down. That said, the Filson I kept has been my go-to travel bag for work and vacations and it’s been phenomenal. Knowing there are top notch competitors is great because eventually this bag will bite the dust. It is of the older design with the two shoulder strap d-rings on the same side. That’s the only thing about it that I don’t care for.

    I got my Filson medium duffle (otter green) a few years ago for $395. At the time, I felt that was steep but never regretted the purchase and still love using it when I travel. But for $595 nowadays? Oof. It’s a hard call, but I’d go with Bradley Mountain. I have their Biographer backpack and love it just as much as the Filson.

    Bags made in the USA. I like all three, although I’d be interested in seeing the Bradley Mountain in the other color. The Heat Straps looks cool, but I’m not sure about the contrasting color for the pockets. Certainly the Filson rugged twill looks great, however maybe a full width external pocket on one or both ends wouldn’t disrupt the otherwise clean exterior.

    Not really a direct comparison to these but Steel Canvas also makes a waxed canvas duffle. American made and only $200.
