Messenger Bag for Men,VASCHY Vintage Water Resistant Canvas Satchel 14 15.6 17inch Laptop Briefcase

It’s a perfect fit for me to carry on my back while I ride my bike to work. All the closable pockets are great. Couldn’t be more pleased.

I ordered this bag for my conference which is coming up in a month. I wanted something durable, functional, professional, and not so feminine. This messenger bag delivers all I was looking for! Well-made, lots of pockets, and sleeve on the bag that allows me to slide the suitcase handle. One (and only) thing I dont like is the weight of the bag. Its a bit heavy side so I have to be careful what I put in. I will update the review once I use this bag for the conference.

Nice enough bag. Lots of pockets but the bag slouches. Just looks sloppy. No real form. Theres better choices from the same company

Nice bag! Lots of pockets, sturdy and the laptop compartment is both padded and quilted for safety of my laptop.

15.6 inch-grey model Im thinking of this more as a long-term review of this bags durability, so I wont say much about how comfortable it is to wear (it is comfortable to me), whether the pockets fit my needs and stuff (they fit my stuff very well), or how it looks (it looked just like the pictures when I got it, and with time the color has barely faded). I got this in October 2019 for my first year of college to replace my replacement of my Thinkgeek Bag of Holding. Both of these previous bags lining in the main pockets tore to shreds at the seams, and I had to hold the lining in place with an increasing amount of safety pins because I dont know how to sew. It was time for a new bag, so I did a lot of comparative browsing on Amazon and decided on this one. It is now late August 2021, almost 2 full years with this bag, and it is still in great shape. The lining shows no signs of giving up. The canvas has worn in, but in a good way, like a baseball glove; it isn’t as stiff as when it was when it was new, so it’s easier to fit unusually-shaped things in it. The zippers still zip all the way and haven’t needed repair. The straps and handles, which have also been troubling on old bags of mine, are reliable and thick. There is one thing to consider about the shoulder strap if you are tall, though: I am 510 tall and wear the strap on my left shoulder with the bag on my left side, so the strap doesnt cross over my body (like person 1 in the last picture on the Amazon listing). The strap is just long enough when fully expanded to be in the perfect place at my waist, but I think if I was any taller it would be too short. The shoulder strap is not removable, so if you are significatly taller you may need to look for a different bag. I live in Illinois, and it rains a lot during spring here, so I’ve had the bag outside during the rain a few times. No water soaked through the waxed canvas and lining, but I would still be careful not to have it in the rain too long. The canvas does get wet and retains some water, so if it was wet enough it might soak through. My dogs have peed on it a number of times and none of it has soaked through to the inside. I don’t remember if the bag came with washing instructions, and if it did I must’ve thrown them away, because I can’t find them now. I looked up how to clean waxed canvas, and the first few articles all say that you should not machine wash or dry, dry clean, use detergent, or iron it. Instead, you should hand wash it with cold water, not hot water, use mild soap if needed, and let it air dry. I’ve done this and it works well. So, yeah, I still like this bag. It’s lasted longer than either of my previous bags has, and I think it will last a lot longer still. I’m gonna keep using it and, if anything happens to the bag that changes my opinion of it, I’ll hopefully remember to update this review. Until then, it gets a confident 5 stars from me!

This is a very nice padded computer bag for commuters, but it is not good for travelers. For traveling, especially on planes, I would prefer a lighter weight bag so I am not lugging around extra weight I dont need. I would also like one with an exterior pocket for the laptop that makes it easier to pull out when you go through airport security. This bag is heavy weight canvas and seems to be very durable. (The canvas is heavy weight...the bag itself is not that heavy) It has lots of padding in the laptop compartment to protect your laptop. However, I have never had problems where I needed to protect my laptop from the outside world so I feel the padding is just excess weight. The inside, sectioned compartment has lots of room. I can get a big laptop, a book and my headphones in there with no problem. To get to the laptop, you have to unhook and open the flap and then unzip the center compartment. This is good if you want to make it hard for someone to get out the laptop (it makes if difficult for someone to steal your laptop unless they steal the whole bag). It has lots of zippered pockets so you can take a lot of stuff and keep it all separated. I like that it does have some zippered pockets on the outside so you dont have to open the whole bag. However, I dont need that many compartments and I would be happier with less and less weight. All the zippers and the clasps for the flap and sturdy and work well. In summary, this is good, sturdy bag with lots of options and can hold a lot of stuff. At the same time it isnt too heavy and isnt that bulky. If you have lots of stuff, feel you need to protect your laptop with padding and dont mind a little extra weight, this is a great bag. For instance, I think this would be a great bag for a salesperson who need compartments for business cards, and sales brochures. For me, I would prefer a lighter weight bag with less pockets that has easier access to the laptop.

Overall great computer bag for everyday use, from looks to durability

I needed a new bag that wasnt flimsy. This new waxed canvas bag is perfect. It is sturdy with even more storage than I thought it had when I ordered it.

I needed a pouch to let me carry objects like mail and packages but still leave my hands free (one to handle my cane, the other for balance etc.) Having had one not to serious fall due to a breeze snatching some mail, a relative said what you need is a bag. I took that advice to heart, and this messenger bag solved my problem. I have been able to put book mailers into it, mailed clothing items, circulars, and junk mail of all sorts and getting it and me safely back to the house. I can see it working well with my laptop if travel opens up and things go back to normal, but for now it helps me play mail carrier very well for me each day (excluding Sundays and holidays with no mail service.) The safety and balance provided are rapidly repaying the cost, which was very reasonable to start with.
