The Huckberry Eliminator June 2014 – Day 4

June 12, 2014 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

The Eliminator – Five from Huckberry

Here’s how this works:  Each day we’ll eliminate one item until only one is left standing at the end of the week. Vote for the item you’d LEAST like to own in the poll at the bottom of the page.  The item with the most votes gets eliminated at the end of the day. The item that remains at the end of this battle royal will be won by one of you, via an enter to win post firing off on Friday.

About Huckberry: It’s not easy to stand out in the world of flash sale websites, but Huckberry does it. With an emphasis on the outdoors and active lifestyle gear, they nail the upscale-rugged thing. Also, their sales are often filled  with made in the USA goods. All of these items are either currently available, or, have recently been available through Huckberry. May the best item win!

Satchel & Page Pilot’s Bag – $376.98 ($470)

Huckberry Eliminator Satchel & Page Pilot's Bag by Dappered

The kind of bag that might have you stopped by TSA and/or other travelers simply so they can admire your carry-on. Made in Austin from Vegetable Tanned leather, copper rivets and antique brass hardware. Lifetime warranty too. 11″ x 19″ x 9″ which checks in at 1881 cubic inches… therefore you won’t have to check it with the airline. The sort of bag that can hold your in-cabin essentials and then some, or a weekend’s worth of gear for those that pack lean.

 

ELIMINATED Taylor Stitch Denim Straight Leg or Slim Fit – $128

taylor stitch eliminated

American crafted jeans made from 13.5 oz Japanese Sanforized raw denim. Straight or slim fit, that’s up to you. Button fly, red contrast interior stitch, and canvas pockets that are anything but wimpy. Well built, American made, hard wearin’ jeans.

 

ELIMINATED R.E. Aviators in Gold/Grey – $124 (189)

eliminated shades

Made in the USA from the finest components, Randolph Engineering strives to “stand as the example by which others are considered.” Classic design. Has been supplying the U.S. military with eyewear for 30+ years. Bridge: 55 mm – Temple: 140 mm

 

Filson Original Briefcase Navy – $248.00

Filson Briefcase by Dappered

Few briefcases will stand out in our business-casual world, but the Filson Original brief is one of them. “Might as well have the best” is their slogan, and their quality is second to none. 16″ wide. Now available in a very professional looking navy canvas. Made in the USA.

 

ELIMINATED Daniel Wellington “Bristol” Rose Gold – $229.00

dw eliminated

Simplicity & class in a rose-gold toned case. Super slim & minimalist, but not boring. Proof that a watch can be plenty eye catching without the clunky wrist-clock size others depend on. 40mm in diameter and just 6 mm thick. Japanese quartz movement.

Here comes the tough part.  Pick the item that you’d LEAST like to win and vote below to have it eliminated.  One item gets cut every day.  The item that’s left at the end of the week will be up for one of you to win on Friday.  Make your case for what needs to stay in the comments, but let’s keep this positive and skip any mudslinging. These are all terrific items, and many thanks to Huckberry and the brands for being on board with The Eliminator. Voting closes at 11:59pm ET.

Which Huckberry item should be ELIMINATED?

  • The Satchel & Page Pilot's Bag (32%, 501 Votes)
  • The Filson Original Brief (68%, 1,063 Votes)

Total Voters: 1,554

    How does “enter to win post firing off” work?

    It’s too early to call this one, but RIP Filson. 🙁

    After reading the comments yesterday, I changed my mind. While the S&P bag is awesome, the Filson is way, way more practical and useful, while still being very nice. I voted down the S&P, (even though I assume it’s not going to win).

    As did I for the same reasons.

    Same here. I think part of it just might be the psychology regarding what each item cost. Each day, the item with the lowest full retail cost was the one eliminated. Joe should get the Dappered statistics and analytics department to run the numbers on past Eliminator contests to see if this is the overall pattern.

    I LOVE that Pilot’s bag but I don’t fly much. That Filson brief will be used no less than 3 days a week. So I had to vote to eliminate the Pilot’s bag. And I wanted that bag the most at the beginning of the contest but the Filson is just more practical.

    I don’t think its always the most valuable one that wins, but it would be interesting to see. For me its almost that I don’t think I’d ever splurge to buy the pilot’s bag, but would love to have it. I probably travel just enough to make it worth while.

    I might get more use out of the Filson bag, but I can also see myself buying one someday. The pilots bag is something I really want, but would never buy. Therefore, I want the chance to win the pilots bag.

    Sadly I agree with the rest, Filson looks better/is more practical but people are just voting for the expensive, shiny thing.

    Without knowing the price, I would definitely still vote for the Pilot Bag. *Personally* I wear a suit to work most days and have so far held off buying a good leather bag from Far Horizon Traders, Jack Spade, etc. I already bought a canvas bag from Target as a cheap way to meet my needs, and although not nearly as nice as the Filson, it does the trick. What I don’t have is a nice leather bag I can take to work instead of the canvas one. So at least this one vote has nothing to do with price.

    it’s the S&P bag that wins it for me. a couple of trips with this thing and it’ll be weathered and travel hardened.

    it was a tough choice, though. the filson and S&P serve different functions, so it was hard to compare on a functional level. in the end, i thought about how the bag would look in 20 years. i’m a big fan of buying quality and having it last you a lifetime, and i didnt see the filson weathering as well.

    I feel like a briefcase is a lot more practical for everyday use than a piece of carry-on sized luggage. Plus that leather bag seems too nice for something that’s just going to get constantly scratched up with other people’s luggage in overhead bins, in car trunks, etc.

    These are both awesome looking bags, but I am and likely will always be a sucker for leather…

    If I owned that bag I would name it Satchel Page.

    I like Filson, but I already have comparable bags. I consider a high end daily carry bag essential, but something like the pilot bag is an absolute luxury. Why not travel in a little extra style?

    I am yet to acquire my first REAL professional bag. That S&P would be more than accommodating to that! In eluding from that variable, I cannot see how anyone would prefer the lesser here as the S&P is clearly investment worthy! Nevertheless, the Filson appears to be a great bag as well.
