I saw that already. Dun have zipper tote or briefcase in tan. Dun mind giving a lesson in shoeshine if there is interest. Preferbly over a session of cigars and whiskey.

Yeah, limited colours options for revolveclothing.

I thought that the tweed otter green briefcase was rather unique, and contemplating to get it since the navy one isnt available. But it seems to be slightly too military. oh well.

have you checked out cranes?

*just found one which you might like.. http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=FILS-MY3&row=3&column=4&c=

The US sites call the JP market ones Filson Red Label.

I tried to ask Cranes if they have promo code but not responding. I hear may have to call them in store to order with discount.

The 257 looks a little too big for my needs. I am deciding between a 256 or 261 for edc.

Yeah filson is awesome, i have a 256, whats your typical edc, maybe i could advice on how much space there is.
I intend to get the duffle bag next, but sadly, they have recently increased the prices of all the bags, and I missed out on several sales few months ago. These bags really run out fast in the US.

My EDC is no bag. Unless I need to go out family outing.

When i carry a bag is for keeping a book, an umbrella or raincoat and Nalgene bottle.. I have a purse organiser I use to transfer and organise small items in between bags.

Woah nice and simple, well, shouldnt be an issue i guess, what I can say is that the 256 is ideal in both formal and casual wear as compared to other briefcases out there.

tan.... but the tan looks slightly darker than the pictures you see online.

I am contemplating between tan and otter green as well!!

And also, there's this variation which comes with the Harris tweed on the briefcase as well. I am so sold with so many variations offered that I have took almost two weeks to decide which is the ideal one.

if don't need to carry A4 and for less than 200, XS size timbuk2, should still have their trademark organization pockets.

plenty of smaller independent USA messenger bag makers are linked here if you want to be more special, http://www.bag-collector.com/
but they will probably cost more than 200 after adding shipping. some of their works look pretty crude though.

in terms of organisation pockets, Porter Yoshida is also renown for that. that damn common standard Tanker shoulder bag is about 14k-16k JPY depending on size

most totes have 1 huge main compartment which is too big for just those few stuff.
Filson zipper totes can be had for under 200 if there are free shipping promos, the standard otter green, tan and navy looks better than the new gimmicky colour schemes

thanks for the suggestions!

yea :( too little things to carry around.. a backpack is not suitable since the little stuffs will most prob cause the bag to lose its shape..

some more i usually go out in tshirt n shorts.. cannot carry off classy bag

getting this but still need a small bag :(
