A surprisingly functional, traditional draw cord rucksack.

This traditional waxed canvas bag might be simple but it's extremely useful. The drawstring design means it’s quick and simple to access and can be worn across the shoulder like a canvas rucksack. Best uses are as a shopping bag, day bag, equipment sack, picnic and beach bag and festival bag.

The Newport Sack is made from 8oz waxed cotton canvas so it’s water repellent and not made from plastics based materials such as polyester or nylon. Throughout it’s long expected life it can be re-waxed using our own Jack Stillman Fabric Wax to keep it protected. The internal liner adds another layer of strength and insulation. The drawstring can also be adjusted to the wearer.

Traditional Brass.
Old-school Patina.

Genuine solid brass hardware is rarely used because it's expensive. We say- hang the expense! Real brass is heavier than the fake alternatives and develops an authentic patina.

Eco Clean.

Otherwise known as Vegetable Tanned Leather. It's genuine cow leather that is processed using traditional methods. It's more expensive and requires more time but it lasts up to 4 times longer.
