As to the guy asking about bags. Not to claim expertise or anything, but I have carried a shitload of bags since I was 15. Army surplus stores are your best bet for simple styles like those 2. A quick search turned up these 2 for back packs http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=49864 http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=23674 and these satchels http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=1131 http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=1130 and as a sidenote. I carried that 2nd canvas satchel from 2001-2010. I wore through one, but they'll take seriously hard (everyday, overstuffed, way too heavy) use for 5 years. Recommended. But then I upgraded to this http://www.saddlebackleather.com/categories/97-Satchels-Medium/products/2031-Leather-Satchel-Medium-iPad-Chestnut and have never looked back.

Thanks a bunch for your recommendation to turn to Army-surplus stores. I would’ve recommended them, but I think the person was looking for those bags specifically.
Also, I completely agree with going for leather bags (and Saddleback has a solid reputation), just because the look a lot nicer and last a lot longer.

afistfulofstyle said: I got that, but figured if they were looking for basic styles (as it seemed) you can find something almost identical for $25-40 instead of the $200 point google shopping was turning back. Also, that branded satchel is not as nice as a plain canvas.
