Tom Beckbe Leather Messenger Bag
I have several of Tom Beckbe’s bags, and each is a master class in material. The Alabama-founded heritage hunting brand has a talent for combining throwback design cues with modern functionality. Its waxed canvas is burly and handsome, and its leather goods are genuine heirlooms.
Despite its product name, this bag is more classic briefcase than messenger bag, though it does have that fold-over flap. It’s priced a little higher than mid-tier, but it’s worth the investment.
