I don&#8217;t know why. But I definitely have a problem. I found the perfect <a href=\"\/blog\/2009\/07\/18\/belstaff-556-colonial-shoulder-bag\/\">messenger bag<\/a>. And the perfect <a href=\"\/blog\/2010\/12\/10\/goruck-gr1\/\">backpack<\/a>. And now I think I have a perfect duffel\/weekender bag. The definition of perfect: when the delicate balance of style and function is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These bags by Herschel Supply Co are from Scotland and have two distinctive features: pinstripe inside and a shoe compartment. The pinstripe is really sharp and sets it apart from a junky duffel. There&#8217;s also a hard bottom that is removable&#8230; haven&#8217;t decided if I am going to use it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from that, there is nothing really terribly exciting besides a wonderfully simple high-quality duffel. Nice leather details with plastic loop holes. I had originally ordered the <a href=\"http:\/\/assets.svpply.com.s3.amazonaws.com\/large\/793130.jpg\" target=\"new\/\" rel=\"lightbox noopener noreferrer\">Outfitters Large<\/a> but although it said it was only 2 inches of difference (24in vs 22in)&#8230; it felt so much bigger. It also featured steel loops for the shoulder strap which were already worn as the one I got was the floor model. The only thing I really like from the Outfitter was that they had these big hand straps on the ends of the bag. It was also twice as expensive&#8230; the Novel retails for $79.99&#8230; I got mine on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\">eBay<\/a> for $50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel3.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel3.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel4.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel5.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel5.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel6.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/herschelsupply\/HerschelNovel6.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love bags.
