A men's messenger bag that pairs a cotton canvas body with genuine crazy horse leather trim on the flap and straps, for a vintage, work-ready look. It suits the commute, the office and weekend errands, structured enough for a workday and relaxed enough for everything else. Worn across the body, it leaves both hands free through a busy day.
The leather trim adds structure where the bag sees the most wear, so the shape holds after regular use. Two front pockets close with buckle straps for a phone, keys or a notebook you want close. A zip closure keeps the main compartment secure on the move, and inside, a slot pocket keeps a laptop, tablet or documents organized and easy to find. The adjustable shoulder strap combines canvas and leather and lets the bag sit at the hip.
Keep the essentials up front and papers or a tablet in the main compartment. The crazy horse leather develops a natural patina over time while the canvas breaks in and softens with carry. Wear it over an overcoat in winter or a plain shirt in summer. It comes in seven colors, from brown and black to olive and khaki. The bag only looks better with age, so it is worth carrying every day rather than keeping for the office.
Dimensions, compartments and laptop size for this bag are listed under Technical details.
When checking laptop fit, go by your laptop’s actual measurements as well as its screen size. If you want us to confirm something fits before you order, write to us.
Canvas & nylon: brush off dry dirt, then spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, and let it air dry away from direct heat. Waxed canvas can be refreshed with fabric wax when the finish starts to fade; any leather trim is cared for like the leather below.
Leather: wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Once or twice a year, work in a little neutral leather cream, testing it first on a hidden spot. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.
Empty the bag and stuff it lightly with paper when storing it, and keep it in a breathable dust bag rather than plastic.

Our pieces, out in the real world.
In 1924, our grandfather, Albert Whitley, opened a small outfitter’s shop in Yorkshire. Our father, Henry, carried it forward. Today, we continue the family business with the same belief: good materials, useful things and pieces made to be worn for years.
The counter may now be a website, but the standard remains much the same. Old craft. Modern wear.
Each piece names its exact material under Technical details, whether full-grain, top-grain or split leather, vegan leather or metal. If a piece is not listed as leather, it is not leather.
Pieces with a tracker slot say so under Technical details. The tracker itself is not included.
Dimensions, card capacity and laptop size are listed under Technical details for every piece. Belts are sized by full strap length: choose about 2 in (5 cm) above your trouser waist size. If you want us to confirm a fit before ordering, write to us.
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, condition it once or twice a year with a neutral leather cream, and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. Full-grain leather darkens and softens with use; that patina is part of its character.
