So Filson has a new bag out. It rules. It’s also very expensive, but it will last you a lifetime – guaranteed.
I don’t have a clue as to why someone would need or even want a hand tooled and leather tool box. That said, it’s pretty damned hard to deny the beauty of it. And there must be a market, because this all american made luxury item for the hipster sold out FAST.
Details here.
Fuji is the new Leica – making serious photography tools for minimalist, but they also have some branding to do. Enter Millican and their new British made bags just for the X-series. I use old military bags for my cameras, but this ain’t bad.
You know Evernote, right? They make a pretty popular piece of software that organizes your life. I use it… when I’m in an “organized” mood. Anyway, they just finished a collaboration on a wallet. And, you know? I like it.
Another month and another camera bag… This one was hand made in Japan by a company mostly known for some pretty killer watch straps – Wotancraft. We’ve obviously reviewed a lot of camera bags on Gearjournal.com and to be frank, this is the best made bag we’ve ever had our hands on. It is that good. Enjoy the review:

I review a lot of general purpose and camera bags here on Gear Journal. As a result, I’m always thinking about what makes the “perfect” bag. Try as might, I’ve never really been able to find one. The closest I’ve come across for my needs is the Billingham Hadley Pro line of bags. I love their nice and compact size. I love the hand made build quality. I love their simple functionality… But they look like purses… and when you got buddies like mine, you don’t even think about rolling with anything that might be mistaken for a purse. Screw that.
