The Dakota Waxed Canvas Messenger Bag blends utility and style with its wax-coated 15 oz. canvas, durable nylon stitching, black metal hardware, and vegetable-tanned top-grain leather trim – all with a distressed vintage finish. Crafted in a traditional size for a waxed canvas messenger bag, the exterior also features perfectly placed hammered copper rivets, a document pocket with button snap closure, and two side pockets with buckles. Inside, you’ll find interior pockets for organizing and a laptop sleeve that fits most 15” laptops.

You should know, I used to go through messenger bags like my Uncle Brick went through boxes of Pall Malls. Trust me, he smoked like there was no tomorrow. But when the doctor told my uncle to stop smoking or else, he quit for good. About that time, I quit replacing messenger bags. I decided to create my own bomb-proof bag – or else. And the Dakota Messenger Bag was born. It’s the bag I’d been looking for and finally found.

This vintage military style waxed canvas messenger bag will perfectly carry your laptop, power cords, any and all meeting materials, plus your copy of Jim Harrison’s Selected & New Poems. Now if you want to keep replacing messenger bags, be my guest. But if you’d like to quit for good, then quit. The Dakota is the last messenger bag you’ll ever need.
