Field Satchel

I've been looking for this for two years and bought two inferior products not knowing this was our there. I recommend it

I use this bag every. single. day. It is my version of s purse/work bag. It is durable and protects my items from the weather as well. My computer fits inside as well as in the back pocket. Even with daily use for over a year, it only has one tiny hole in the canvas.

I’ve tried multiple bags from other brands, trying to find one that’s perfect for me. I’ve been an admirer of FR for 10 years, I wish I had saved myself time and money and just started with this bag.

It really does seem like years back as they were designing the bag, they thought to themselves “What will Darby need in 2019”. It is absolutely perfect for my daily carry. It’s beautifully constructed and handsome in appearance.

A few small things I would change and I would rebuy the bag in a heartbeat if they added these.
1. I would love a handle.
2. I think this bag would be a great candidate for the Sam Brown stud closure that’s found on the Vintage messenger. But the flap is long and heavy, so I hardly close the bag completely.
3. The FR logo patch is a little big for the bag. I think it would look great with a smaller patch.

But FR are the geniuses behind the design, not me. So I am sure they had their reasons.

I needed something to carry my iPad Pro, charge cable, Apple Pencil and a couple other pens/markers without creating a lot of weight/bulk that I did not need. This Satchel fits the bill perfectly. There is additional room should I need it for other items. I purchased the “large” size. I couldn’t be more happy with the purchase. I have purchased several pieces of their luggage, and this item lives up to the quality of their more expensive pieces. Great quality for the price. I have become a loyal customer.

Arrived today and is the first Frost River product I've seen first hand. Really impressed by the quality of workmanship and materials. Looks and feels like it will last decades. Pocket layout is highly functional, and, in our current decade, at least, the inside front slip pocket is the perfect size for a small iPad; back slip pocket fits an e-reader. The leather shoulder pad does a good job of distributing the weight of a full pack, and is textured enough on the underside to keep a good grip on your shirt/coat. Excellent all around.

I bought this bag almost in error as I was looking for something larger. It has become my everyday bag/purse,whatever. I carry my wallet, cheque book, pen, pencil and a marker, note pad,phone, iPad and kindle on occasion. I haven't lost or mislaid any of the daily essentials since buying this product.

I live in Australia and I bought the field satchel around three years ago. I've used it nearly daily. It's small enough for taking the essentials around the city or when traveling. I spent six months traveling around Australia last year, and I took this satchel everywhere. It's been through the outback and the cities, and though it's a comfortable size, it often surprises me how much it can hold if necessary! Highly recommended.
