 smallAug 30, 2010
This is a nice enough bag, but I failed to check the size before I ordered it for my son. It is pretty darn small, I ended up getting him one at Ross and keeping this one for myself. It is also a little bit fem.
 Perfect, durable bag for a small person.Aug 25, 2010
I have been looking for a canvas messenger bag for my upcoming trip to Ireland and based on the reviews I read of this, I decided to buy it. I ordered it on a Saturday and received it on a Wednesday - quick! It's a thick, yet soft canvas material. The stitching is even and the bag looks as though it was truly created to last. I like that it has snaps because I know if I got a bag that had buckles (more safe and secure) I would get lazy and not buckle them every time, leaving myself susceptible to pickpockets. I am very pleased with the size because I'm small (5'3", 110lbs) and didn't like the standard size messenger bags because they felt too big and overwhelming even if I didn't fill them up. I was able to fit 4 guidebooks, a bottle of water, small umbrella, and snacks in the large pocket. money, documents, and keys went into the smaller pockets, of which there are three; one inside the large pocket, one on the back, and one on the front underneath the flap. I like the extra detail to the one on the front - it's opening is on the side but one would think that anything you put in there would just slide out. Well, they not only have a piece of velcro to "close" the pocket, but the bottom 2 inches of the pocket are sewn shut at the opening to catch anything that may start to slide. The strap is long and adjustable, so even a taller person could use this and it could rest at their hip. The color is true to the picture, though slightly darker. I got the stone color and plan to dirty it up a bit - it gives it character! :) One could probably fit a small laptop or netbook inside, but nothing too big. This bag is just one more reason I'm getting excited for my trip!
 Works for what I need it for.Aug 17, 2010
I got it today. The strap is a little shorter than I would have expected, but the material feels like it will hold up well. There are more pockets than I realized, and the strap feels really sturdy. I bought it to carry my iPad and some textbooks for school, and it fits everything plus a water bottle.
All in all, I'd recommend it.

Solid Basic Canvas BagAug 10, 2010
Here is a quick run down on ALL you need to know:
STRAP: The perfect length if your under '6, if you are taller, look else where. It's thick [feels strong] and soft, so it probably will not hurt ever, even if you carried around a bowling ball.
FABRIC: Study fabric, just stiff enough to hold it's shape, but not uncomfortable to use a pillow when you need that afternoon nap at Starbucks.
COLOR: 'charcoal' is actually just dark forest green ... with black strap. Yeah, it doesn't look like the gray/black'ish one pictured and I am pretty disappointed by this. It's the ONLY reason I bought it. Because of this color deception ... *[Minus One Star!]*
SIZE: Want to carry around a single notebook, one 1" binder or netbook? Take your pick, because it can fit any 2 of those, at any one time, at max. I knew the dimensions when I ordered, but was still surprised by it's size. It's both good and bad. I think the larger ones look really dorky, and it's large enough to never fall into the dreaded man-purse category. The zippered pocket if perfect for wallet, cell phone, pens or even a moleskin® notebook.
QUALITY: I've only used it for the day, but it seems like it will last, if something comes up ill make sure to update this review.
PRICE: The price jumps around a lot, I've seen it go from ~$26-16 here on Amazon.com, if you pay more then $20, make sure it's with free shipping.
STYLE: It's got fairly basic styling, with plenty of room for your own personal buttons, ect, on the outside. I will keep it plain, and it looks good enough all on it's own to do that.
SHIPPING TIME: I used the 'over $25 free shipping' option by purchasing another item on Amazon.com, and the item arrived literally 9 business days later, sadly it looks like the vendor staggered my order vs sending it when they got it, never have had this happen before, quite lame. [I will be kind and not drop a star, but they earned it, it shipped ONE state over from me]
Overall: I think it will really fit the needs of anyone looking to minimize the bulk they carry around [death to heavy backpacks!] on campus, feel comfy and look good while doing it. I just wish they actually sold a real charcoal color, and not dark forest green called 'charcoal'. [4/5 stars]
Excellent bag at a great priceAug 03, 2010
I had been looking for a "man purse" for a while and am very happy with this canvas field bag. The size is perfect for carrying a book, iPod, small camera, etc. It can also hold a 9.5 inch netbook pretty well. It is a soft canvas that is very comfortable yet seems quite durable.
