Editorial Reviews:
Product Description
In 1910 John Boultbee and his son Wilfred Mason Brooks filed two patents related to improvements in satchels, knapsacks and the like. Both these patents guaranteed more equal distribution of the load over the straps and more stability of the bag whilst cycling. With this in mind Brooks developed the new Barbican Messenger Bag, featuring a shoulder belt which can be easily secured around the waist during the ride. The belt is the innovative part of this bag. Once adjusted to the desired length, depending on the height and waist of the cyclist, the belt can be kept loose to carry the bag over or across the shoulder while walking. For increased stability during the ride, the belt can be easily fastened around the waist simply pulling the two ends of the belt and locking them at the center with the "Sam Brown" fixing. Materials - Water resistant fabric with leather finishing Dimensions - 10 x 30 x 34 cm Capacity - 12 L Weight - 1450 g

"that's a liberal art's professor's bag" November 5, 2009
David Morales (New York, NY)

Some things to think about.
1. It doesn't look as elegant/professional in real life as in the pictures.
2. Brook's photographers are very good.
3. I trust it's construction much more than a north face backpack, but slightly less than a proper timbuk2 bag.
4. my roommate took one look at it and said "that's a liberal art's professor's bag"
5. that's okay becuase it can carry a semester's worth of text books every day and manage to look only better after a year.
6. which is what you really need it for.
