About two months ago I received a beautiful package from Southern Field Industries, and inside was this “Waxed Rucksack”.  If you know me personally then you would know that this bag is right up my alley.  When I say I love everything about this bag, I mean EVERYTHING- from the British Millerain Waxed Cotton (used for the body) to the fully lined Tartan Plaid fabric to Red Wing Shoes Boot Lace (used as a drawstring) to Japanese Vegetable Tanned Cow Leather (base and other accents). And the most important part is that the rucksack is amazing beyond looks, with it being handmade it ensures a certain craftsmanship and quality that you can’t always expect from mass produce items.
