Don't be fooled by the picture, this messenger bag is MUCH smaller than you would think. I've found some good use for it, but I would never use it as serious carrying equipment.

Got this because I have a couple classes where all i need is my Netbook. Good thing that is the intended use, as not much else will fit in there.

I can get my Toshiba NB205 with the 11 inch screen plus a couple of spiral bound notebooks and that's it.

Will say good construction. Though it's small, it doesn't give off the "man-purse" vibe, but only because it has a mil-surp vibe.

The closures are not snap, so I hardly use them.

When I saw the bag on Amazon and read the reviews saying it was too small, I was still expecting a good-sized field bag. When I got it, it was actually a little bigger than I had imagined. It's about half the size of my standard messenger bag, and that was the size I wanted.

People also complained a lot about the straps being a very plastic-y leather, and my hopes weren't high when I got my bag. But even with all the bad reviews on it, the straps on mine were very soft and easy to work with, so I don't see why people were complaining, unless the bag has been updated since the time of their purchase.

All in all, I'm happy with my bag.

I needed a Bag to carry around my change of Outfits (work & after work)so that I wouldn't have to lug my clothes around in a plastic bag.
I can fit a pair of Jeans, Shirt, make-up bag, lotion, and perfume in this bag, With extra room to throw in a pair of Sandles. The strap is adjustable, I adjusted it all the way to the lowest it could go so there was no extra strap flying around (which is the only negative, which another reviewer has said just to safety pin it down, and that does work), and it reaches below my hip.

This bag isnt boxy, it's like tough canvas and it's able to be folded up since there are no things within the bag to shape it besides the items you place inside.


I like the leather buckles/straps though; Make the bag look cool.
Worked Perfect For me :)

I have purchase this bag since some weeks ago and I am very pleased! The only objection I may have is that's a single compartment bag that it may creates some troubles especially when you have to carry keys and mobile or a ipod. But I guess that's a "compromise" in order to maintain the original character of the bag!

It is a truly lovely product with an absolutely wonderful feeling!

I purchased this bag to use as my first-aid/survival kit for camping and other activities. It is quite roomy, and very well-made. The straps on the front are a hassle if you need to get inside of it quickly, so it may prove to be useless as my first-aid/survival bag, but it is very secure. I don't have to worry about small contents bouncing out of the top of the bag. I am glad that I purchased this bag from this seller.

The minute the box came i wondered what size the bad will be. From reading the reviews i thought it will be small but no, it normal size and i could fit my MacBook Pro 15" inside. Buy, its really good.

It looks great, works great, was delivered on time. And it looks AMAZING! At a low price too. I don't see anything wrong with it, I love the nice thick material, the cross, everything. I highly recommend this seller.

I read the reviews so I was expecting it to be small and as some people mentioned a bit cheap looking, but I was quite happy with the product I received. It IS smaller than it looks on the picture, though not small enough to look like a purse for any guys that are considering.

The canvas material is nice and it seems sturdy enough; its absolutely perfect for my iPad, Moleskine, and wallet, with plenty of room leftover. However there are no inside pockets. :[

The medical symbol is unique and I really like the vintage look of the bag, the red paint doesnt look cheap or shiny. The straps are a bit plastic-y but I personally ripped mine off and sewed some nice distressed straps on instead.

All in all, I love this bag. Its a conversation piece and its a good size when I just want a few things with me.

The handle on my bag is already ripping loose and I have only had it for a few days. Its an easy fix but it was dissapointing to have it rip so fast.
