Bellino The Dean Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this bag for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It's got kind of a vintage look/feel to it and is very cool looking. Just fyi... the material is rough feeling & does NOT feel like smooth leather. It's a pretty good size bag and has several compartments. It's also got a cushion pad on the strap so it's comfortable to carry.
The ONLY bad thing about this purchase was the company who shipped it. It took a long time to ship and when I e-mailed them about it, their customer service was not very helpful. Other than that, I highly recommend it... definitely worth the money!

District Threads Vertical Notebook Canvas Field Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research locating and finally deciding to buy this particular messenger bag. I was looking for something not too large (including depth), and something masculine looking. I read the many favorable reviews for this bag's horizontal counterpart, and decided to buy it based largely on the reviews and the quality of the bag as mentioned in the reviews. I thought the vertical orientation would be less obtrusive and less metrosexual looking; I'm just a guy. As a color, I didn't want olive green. The "stone" color looked good, but my wife suggested getting the charcoal, as it would not show dirt, etc., so easily. The color is good; it has a stone washed, slightly worn/broken in appearance to the fabric. Since the enclosed product information cautioned that the color may rub off, I washed it before using; there was no change in the appearance - it really looks good.
I wanted something to carry around on my vacations. As a tourist, I find myself picking up free magazine type literature, pamphlets, brochures, etc., all sorts of things that 'pack rat' guys like me pick up along the way, and just didn't want to carry these around in my hands. Besides, wives really don't want to haul this stuff around in their purses either. I also wanted something to carry any small item purchases. It fulfilled my needs as expected. It has lots and lots of pockets, both large and small. I didn't intend to carry notebooks in it, but wanted to see what a couple of reviewers of the horizontal version were griping about, it being too small. I could fit two (2) 11.5" x 11" x 2.25" notebooks in it and still had room in the main compartment as well as had all of the smaller pockets yet available for use; no problem. I think that if someone needed more room than this, then they would be better off with a backpack; more room and more ergonomically suitable. It is very well made and sturdy, with thick fabric and good stitching, and has a very adjustable strap.
The only fault I have with it is that I intended to buy something not quite as large (hence, only four stars). Based on the measurements provided in the product description ("Dimensions: 10"h x 12"w x 3.5"d") I thought that this would really be great. The acutal bag is somewhat larger than this (measuring from seam-to-seam): 15"h x 12"w x 3.5"d. There's not a whole lot of difference here (well, the five inches vertically is a lot...), but that extra length bothers me somewhat. (I can understand how the short person previous reviewer of this bag would feel that it would be too long; it is long.) However, anyone who uses this for notebooks, books, large writing/drawing pads, etc., would likely appreciate the extra length. Overall it is a good bag, and I will keep it and continue to use it.

District Threads Canvas Field Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a pretty nice bag for a couple books and odds. The side pockets don't have much give to them so if you put large objects in they bulge quite a bit, which makes them essentially useless. So you basically have one main compartment.
Unfortunately it's a bit small bordering on purse-ish. I'm a grad-student in the sciences and I like to work with a clipboard, if it was slightly larger so I could fit my clipboard in it would be about perfect. This was my fault for not checking the size, though. District Threads offers a field-bag that would have fit my clipboard. If you work on smaller items like moleskines then this bag will be an okay size for you. I didn't take off any stars for the size issue, just be aware.
I should note this is not a real canvas bag, it's pretty flimsy cotton and I expect it will wear through pretty fast if you subject it to much. Which kind of defeats the purpose of a canvas bag.

Big Accessories / BAGedge BAGedge Non-Woven Messenger Bag. BE021 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bag is functional to an extent and it's pretty attractive but the fabric is too thin and rips easily. The bag is good for carrying a few light weight things but even with that, a hole can easily be torn into it. I am very unsatisfied

Israeli Military Style Duffle Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Rothco claims this bag is used by military and law enforcement, although I'm pretty sure that this particular model is not. Maybe this style/design of bag is used, but I don't think it is quite heavy-duty enough for military use. However, this bag is perfect for cilvilians! It is a very high capacity bag that is fairly durable and is perfect for carrying large amounts of clothing from place to place. I used this bag to carry all (and I mean all) of my clothes to college, and as soon as I was unpacked...the bag laid flat and easily fit under my bed taking up almost no room. My only quirks about this bag is I'm not sure it can handle really heavy loads (which is fine if you use it for clothes) and it doesn't have a shoulder strap or device for back carry.

8119 European School OLIVE Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this bag from a local military surplus store, and I think it's fantastic. Well worth the money I spent for it, but I have three problems with it, and should let you know about them.
Problems:
1. No padding. You'll need a separate protective slip for your laptop, if you're carrying one.
2. The shoulder strap. I'm short, only 5 foot Seven, but the strap isn't all that long, it will come down to the top of the bag at my hip, if extended all the way. If you're a tall person, you'll probably want a longer strap, or else this will rub against your ribs.
3. The velcro straps on the flap. Why not buttons like the little pockets inside? Or buckles, like other military-style bags?
Otherwise, the Messenger bag is fantastic. The metal gives it a little bit of personality, as does the sturdy canvas construction, 5 months so far, and no rips, so it lives up to Rothco's reputation
And for those of you who are like me, and don't have a chance to see how big it really is before you buy it, here's what I've fit in there:
2 "portfolios" (the kind that hold loose papers, not an artist's portfolio!)
3 Spiral notebooks
2 Standard paperbacks, or one thick paperback (Think Ulysses)
1 thick dayplanner
3 Energy bars (in the little pocket)
1 14.1" Laptop plus its charger (Charger goes in the other pocket)
And of course, there's the ruler. Metric and standard. Pretty good for a twenty dollar bag!

M.O.L.L.E. II ACU Double M-16 Magazine Pouch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to hold two 30-round AR-15 magazines (5.56 mm or .223 cal.). It is well made, attractive and will do the job, but barely. Two magazines are an extremely tight fit and you must remove both in attempting to remove one. The magazines are jammed in tightly, and worse yet, there is no fabric partition between them, so they will likely scratch and wear each other in use. Rothco needs to manufacture this pouch to add 1/8" on all margins and add the partition. I recommend you buy another brand, unless this is all you can find.
