Bamfield, Army Surplus

While tote bags are great in theory, we've found that most of 'em just aren't big enough to carry all the stuff we when we're out running errands. This tote by Herschel Supply Co. isn't one of those bags. Inspired by military-grade duffels, the oversized Bamfield tote is made of rugged herringbone twill, and sports more than enough space to stow groceries, a change of clothes, beach gear, or as many books as you can carry. It also includes reinforced carrying handles, a hidden metal snap closure, and interior organizational pockets to keep things secure and in-place while you're out and about.

Herschel isn't just the name of a (damn good) bag company – it's the name of a small little town in Canada where a guy named Peter Macormack emigrated in the early 1900s. Three generations later in 2009, Herschel Supply Co. was born. Jamie and Lyndon Cormack named their startup after the tiny hometown that three generations of their family had grown up in, and started cranking out some of the best accessories the menswear world has seen. Today, they're a major player in the style scene, making gear that's affordable, style-conscious, and undeniably cool.
