Bought this bad boy with a small stack of BR gift certificates just over 30 years ago.

It's traveled with me to 5 continents, all over the US and probably the oldest thing I own that I didn't inherit.

Solid as an Army duffel with heavy canvas and tough zippers with thick leather pulls.

If you're of a certain age you'll remember when Banana Republic actually sold really high-quality, unique stuff that was meant to survive an actual safari.

This is one of the last holdovers from the GAP acquisition.
