Alternative Canvas Duffle Bag – $138.00
Too bad that L.L. Bean Signature stopped making their signature duffel. It was the right combination of traditional cylindrical shape and no-nonsense handles that the grittier of you guys would have truly enjoyed.
The Nordstrom provided Alternative Canvas Duffle is just that, an alternative, and although while it looks better… it’s just not as roomy.
20″ wide is pretty decent but if memory serves, the L.L. Bean duffel was at least two feet long if not more. But the Alternative Canvas version might win out in the looks department.
Plus, if you really are a gritty type, shouldn’t you be able to get through a few days on only a pair or two of underwear? Luggage space is overrated… right?
Detachable shoulder strap, canvas with leather trim.
nice but any recommendations on something a little bigger
MJS,
This might do? http://www.frostriver.com/luggage/flight_bag.html
I actually just got a new canvas duffle from Fossil (the wagner, I believe). It’s not quite perfect, but I like the size and external pockets for a little extra space and style. Not crazy about the stiff leather handles though.
Very nice. Got a duffel in that size already. If I didn’t, I’d seriously consider this one. I actually need one a little smaller to take to the gym with me =).
@Jeff: Is this the duffle you got? I think I’ve seen em at Macy’s for under $100? Not sure though.
the alternative canvas bag has 20x12x6 so l*w*h = 1440 in^3
and it is $138 so the volume/dollar is 10.4 in^3/$
this bag from LLbean has the dimensions of 12x12x23 in l*h*w so its volume is 3312 in^3
its price is $64 so the volume/dollar 51.75 in^3/$
@kin haha interesting comparison, especially considering both bags could easily be replaced by 1-2 trash bags. 0.0002 in^/$!! Just kidding about that, still an interesting way to compare.
Huge points to Kin for doing the math and showing his work! Seriously. I didn’t realize just how small the bag featured is. I do prefer the now discontinued duffel to the LL Bean Kin linked too.
