BRASS TACKS Leathercraft BTBP002 Waxed Canvas Vintage Rucksack – Brown, 26L (fits 15.6in laptop)

Brass Tacks Leathercraft waxed-canvas vintage rucksack – brown, fits 15.6in laptop

If you’re after a reliable everyday rucksack with a proper vintage feel, this one’s worth a closer look. Made from waxed canvas with brass trims, it strikes a neat balance between smart and rugged — ideal for commuting, short trips or the odd weekend away. The finish gives good water resistance, so a sudden shower won’t ruin your day, but it’s not a dry-bag — don’t go submerging it.

Features

Less gimmick, more sensible details. There’s a roomy main compartment with a padded sleeve that fits most 15.6in laptops, a couple of small internal pouches for your phone or wallet, and three external pockets for quick-access bits like chargers, keys or a compact brolly. Brass hardware and reinforced stitching mean it’ll take daily knocks and still look the part.

• Padded laptop sleeve fits 15.6in, 15in, 14in and 13in laptops from the usual makes (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, MacBook etc.).
• Multiple pockets make organising straightforward — no more faffing about for cables and chargers.
• Waxed canvas gives water resistance and ages well, developing a pleasing patina over time.
• Sturdy brass fittings and a tear-resistant lining add longevity and a vintage aesthetic.
• Comfortable shoulder straps and a solid top handle for different carrying options.

Who it’s for

Perfect if you’re regularly lugging a laptop, books or kit around. Students, commuters, creative types and light travellers will appreciate the organisation and classic look. If you regularly face torrential rain or proper muddy conditions, a dedicated waterproof cover is sensible — but for most urban and country use, it copes admirably.

Specifications and care

Dimensions: 400 x 340 x 190 mm (approx.), capacity ~26L, weight around 1 kg. Material: high-density waxed canvas with brass hardware and a tear-resistant inner lining. Care: brush off dried mud, spot-clean with a damp cloth, and re-wax occasionally to keep the water resistance up and the fabric looking smart. The canvas will pick up a patina over time — many folks think that’s part of its charm.

Service and guarantees

The manufacturer typically offers a 30-day returns window, a 12-month repair/maintenance period at no cost, plus a long-term shoulder-strap replacement policy. It’s worth checking the seller’s current terms when you order, but that sort of aftercare is a handy bonus if you intend to rely on the bag day in, day out.

All told, it’s a no-nonsense, stylish rucksack that balances practicality with vintage character — a solid choice if you want a durable everyday bag that only gets better with a bit of wear.
