Essentials – Spring 2011: Weekend Bags
Gabe Alonso One of the best parts of the warmer temperatures is the ability to get out of the city or town you’re in and explore. In order to do that, you need to have a bag that can handle the wear and tear of the on-the-go man. And that doesn’t mean your old gym bag.
So, every guy should have a weekender bag or decent sized hold-all to get him through a couple days of debauchery. The problem with bags is that they can be expensive, especially the leather ones. I’ve tried to give you fairly attractive looking bags at varying price points, without going over $250. When you consider this to be luggage or at the very least a carry-on, I think that’s well worth the price. The better the quality, the longer it’ll last you and you’ll have a bag that’s filled not only with clothes and toiletries, but with memories of past exploits.
