I know its extremely expensive. Beckel Canvas makes super-durable bags stuff at a fraction of the cost.

I think there is a notable quality difference between Archival and Beckel....

...I have a shawl collar sweater from Archival and it's top notch. Well worth the cost.

"I think there is a notable quality difference between Archival and Beckel....

In the minutest details, I'll agree. In the function of carrying things and true service I doubt the canvas used is so much less sturdy or servicable in the Beckle items. The waxed canvas is nice, but any canvas can be suitable waterproofed. To me there is a balance between price and function- this item is too much price for function.

PS On the shawl sweater I think that is a great item for the price.

In the "function" of carrying stuff you could just get free plastic shopping bags...;-)

Well, based on my own personal rule of value-to-use you've found the perfect musette!
