I primarily supply my field bag needs from Brady but I’m tempted by one of these potentially unavailable waxed cotton field bags or totes from South 2 West 8 (likely made for them by Brady or Chapman or Hardy or some other venerable UK subcontractor from the usual ingredient list: canvas, leather, webbing and metal …
Shopping from the past: Nigel Cabourn x Fox Brothers Pack
Browsing eBay for second hand Sandringhams, I spotted this fetching Nigel Cabourn x Fox Brothers pack. Since I typically only admire but don’t buy bags made from tweed, I don’t need to fret over the $1,249 asking price. What I love in this bag (and what I’d buy in an all canvas edition) is the …
