BRASS TACKS Leathercraft Waxed Canvas Vintage Backpack – Grey, One Size (fits 13–15.6-inch laptops)

Brass Tacks Leathercraft Waxed Canvas Vintage Backpack — Grey, One Size

Built for life on the go

Here’s a rucksack that looks like it’s wandered straight out of a bygone era but lives very happily in the 21st century. The waxed canvas body is properly tough, naturally water‑resistant and only improves with a bit of wear, while the 2.5mm crazy horse top‑layer leather trim gives structure and character — those little scuffs aren’t damage, they’re personality. Ideal for commuting, travel or a weekend away.

What makes it handy?

Fed up rummaging at the bottom of your bag for a charger or phone? This one keeps things sensible: a large main compartment with a padded laptop sleeve that takes 13–15.6″ laptops (roughly 33–40cm), two inner open pouches for phones and bits and bobs, plus an outer pocket tucked under the flap for quick access. The hardware is robust and corrosion‑resistant, so the magnetic snaps and buckles keep doing their job even after regular use.

• Materials and build – high‑density 100% cotton canvas with a tight double‑knit weave; waxed for water resistance and UV durability; 2.5mm top‑layer crazy horse leather trim for toughness and vintage appeal.
• Dimensions and capacity – approximately 12.6″ (L) x 16″ (H) x 6.7″ (W) (about 32 x 41 x 17 cm); lightweight at roughly 1 kg yet roomy enough for your daily kit and a laptop.
• Practical organisation – padded laptop compartment, two inner open pouches and a covered outer pocket for chargers, keys and smaller items.
• Comfort and hardware – adjustable shoulder straps, brass fittings and a tear‑resistant inner lining for everyday resilience.
• Service promise – sensible aftercare included: replacement shoulder strap policy plus standard return/repair windows as provided by the manufacturer (do check the listing for current terms).

Who is this for?

If you want a sensible, good‑looking bag that doesn’t scream “sportswear”, this is a solid choice. It’s for commuters, light travellers and anyone who carries a laptop and a few essentials without faffing about. It’s also ideal if you prefer materials that age gracefully and develop character over time.

Notes and tips

Bear in mind it’s water‑resistant rather than fully waterproof — fine for drizzle and everyday spills, but for a proper downpour you’ll want a waterproof cover or a dry bag for electronics. If you’re unsure whether a particular laptop will fit, measure the device and compare it to the internal sleeve dimensions first. Small scuffs and marks on the leather are normal and add to that vintage look; a light re‑wax now and then will keep the canvas performing well.

If you’re after a smart, durable everyday rucksack that feels more crafted than factory‑made, this is well worth a look — classic styling with practical modern details and enough room for day trips, work and travel.
