BRASS TACKS Leathercraft Waxed Canvas Vintage 15.6-inch Laptop Backpack – Green (400 x 340 x 190 mm)

Brass Tacks Leathercraft waxed canvas vintage laptop backpack – green

If you’re after a no-nonsense daypack that actually looks the part and can take a bit of rough and tumble, this one’s worth a proper look. The waxed canvas develops a smart patina over time, the brass hardware adds a bit of character, and it’ll take a 15.6-inch laptop without any faff. Roomy enough for a day out, commuting or short trips, but not so bulky it becomes a nuisance on a packed tube.

Features and why they matter

• Durable waxed canvas – treated to be water-resistant and tough enough for everyday knocks. It won’t fall apart after a season, and that slightly lived-in look only gets better with use.
• Padded laptop compartment – fits most 15.6-inch laptops (MacBook and other makes), so your kit stays cushioned and out of harm’s way when you’re on the move.
• Organised storage – one large main compartment, a padded laptop sleeve, two internal open pouches for phone or wallet, plus three easy-access external pockets for chargers and cables. No more rummaging at the bottom of the bag for your charger.
• Quality hardware – robust zips, brass fittings and a tear-resistant inner lining combine to give a bag that won’t let you down mid-journey.
• Comfort and aftercare – comfortable shoulder straps that are replaceable if needed, backed by a 10-year strap replacement offer and 12 months’ repair cover.

Technical specifications

Dimensions: 400 x 340 x 190 mm (approx. 40 x 34 x 19 cm). Weight: around 1 kg. Approximate capacity: 26 L. Laptop compatibility: up to 15.6-inch devices. Colour: green. Model: BTBP002.

Everyday use and typical scenarios

Great for commuting to the office, dashing between lectures, a short day hike or a quick weekend away. The waxed canvas keeps your kit reasonably dry in light rain, and the pocket layout makes it easy to keep tech, snacks and notebooks separate. If you’re cycling or sprinting through town on chilly mornings, the sturdy build and secure pockets are proper handy.

Notes and small considerations

• Water resistance — waxed canvas is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof in a heavy downpour; for long exposure to rain, use a pack cover or keep valuables in sealed dry bags.
• Appearance — the canvas will soften and pick up marks over time. That vintage, well-worn look is intentional and popular, but it won’t suit anyone after a pristine, glossy finish.
• Use case — for very heavy loads or extended trekking, a dedicated hiking rucksack with a full support frame is a better bet; this bag is aimed at daily use and light travel.

Overall, a practical, well-made rucksack with real character. If you want a smart, reliable bag that keeps your laptop and everyday kit organised and protected without looking like everyone else’s, this is a solid choice.
