BRASS TACKS Leathercraft BTBP002 Waxed Canvas Vintage Backpack – Bronze (M) 15.6″ Laptop

Brass Tacks Leathercraft waxed-canvas vintage backpack — Bronze (M)

Here’s a proper, no-nonsense everyday rucksack that manages to look neat without being precious. Crafted from heavy-duty waxed canvas with brass fittings and leather trim, it feels like the sort of kit that will improve with a few knocks rather than fall to bits. Ideal for commuting, day trips or that weekend away when the weather’s a bit iffy — it covers the essentials and then some.

Built to last

The outer is waxed canvas (often called oilcloth or tarpaulin in listings), so it’s water-resistant rather than flimsy. You’ve got reinforced stitching, a tear‑proof inner lining and chunky zips with brass hardware. Put it this way: it’ll give you confidence on busy commutes or muddy paths — no more faffing about with carrier bags when it rains.

• Material: heavy-duty waxed canvas with leather trim and brass accessories.
• Construction: reinforced seams, tear‑proof lining and durable zips built for the long haul.
• Weather resistance: treated canvas repels water and keeps its colour over time.

Organisation and everyday use

There’s a roomy main compartment with a padded laptop sleeve that takes up to a 15.6-inch machine, plus two internal open pouches perfect for your phone, power bank or loose change. On the outside you get three quick-access pockets for chargers, tickets, keys and those bits and bobs you need to grab without rummaging.

• Laptop compatibility: fits 13″, 14″, 15″ and 15.6″ laptops (MacBooks and major PC makes tested for fit).

• External pockets: three handy pockets for quick access to essentials like phone, cables and wallet.

Who is this for?

Perfect if you want a versatile, stylish pack for daily commuting, popping a laptop in for work, or using as a travel daypack. Students who need a couple of pockets for books and chargers will find it very handy, and it’s tough enough for light hikes and weekend adventures. If you’re after a massive rucksack for multi‑day treks, this isn’t it — but for everyday, outdoor‑friendly use it’s spot on.

Care and a few notes

The canvas will benefit from the occasional re‑wax to keep its weather resistance in top nick; treat the leather trim with a standard leather balm. Don’t chuck it in the washing machine — a damp cloth and a gentle scrub will usually do the job. Some people ask about the litre capacity — the seller doesn’t list it, so best to check the dimensions against what you normally carry before buying.

Overall, the Brass Tacks Leathercraft backpack is a practical, hard‑wearing choice with a pleasing vintage look. It’s not flashy, but it’s dependable and actually looks better for a few scuffs. If you want a straightforward daypack with laptop protection and sensible organisation, this one’s worth a look.
