What backpack could concievably be appropriately styled for wear alongside a B3 or ANJ4

[Graemsay]

If you want a leather backpack, I like the Loyal Stricklin Rucksack, the Kasperi Fold Top, and the deerskin pack that Matthias Steinhauser makes.

For canvas, you could try Trakke and the GoRuck M23. Cabourn had a made in Japan reproduction of the Swiss Army Rucksack, and he was working on a version with Trakke, but I think that the latter fell through.

There are various Black Friday sales on or coming up. Last year Loyal Stricklin did 30% off for one day only, so keep an eye on their website or mailing list.

I could add a few more brands, like Defy and Filson, but they've already been mentioned.

Check out Sandstorm Kenya. Been using their bags for over a decade.

Eagle Creek Cargo Hauler is my absolute favorite. In terms of style, I think they look great with leather jackets. But of course, as always, it's a matter of taste.

Thanks just bought the 40L duffle, looks great!

Check out Duluth backpacks, made in Minnesota. Heavy canvas, leather, different styles and colors.

Hey cool, I'm glad to hear that. I have 4 of them for the whole family and 2 60 litre ones. Have fun with them.

If your knees can handle extra weight .
I have this one and it's great once the leather ages with sun exposure
