The Best Travel Bag I've Found

[astaire]

Have a good trip HJ

And remember, please be very careful when you're in Rome's Central Station. My mom had a terrible experience there with pickpockets. They're very smooth.:rage:

Hello Everyone,

I was looking for a nice and useful bag to carry with me in Italy this November. The MK VII is too small and my backpack is too large and doesn't look right with a suit or tweed jacket and fedora.

I needed something to hold a spare jacket (I folded my Victoria Falls into it), my camera, a guidebook, a water bottle, and that sort of thing. I also wanted it to be accessible, simple, and have a certain amount of romance.

Remembering Michael Palin's "Hemingway Adventure" and his bag:



I decided to seek out the same one, though a latter incarnation. This is the Tarras Bag from Barbour.



It is the perfect size. The material is heavy lined canvas and the leather is very nice. The strap is "X" stitched right into the bag, so it doesn't twist. There are brass posts that the leather pulls over, making getting in and out of it easy.



There is plenty of room in here.



This is the end of a long long search; I wish I had discovered this bag years ago. I have been searching forever for just the right bag for me and this is it. I would urge you to consider it or one of similar design for your next adventure.

What are your opinions? Have you found something that suits you perfectly?

Now that you have had the bag for some time and it has experienced a little travelling, has it started to develop a little patina and "personality"?

Not quite yet, and I have been beating it up. I am sure it will soon.

My winter boots are Bean Boots, so I know what you mean.

Thanks for the nice comments.
