Last year I started using a very old duffle bag I found stashed away in the basement.  Unfortunately it was so worn out that it only last seven months but it had a good run and made me realize how much I loved using a duffle bag.   So I have been on the lookout for a new duffle bag and Maine based fashion label Rogues Gallery has designed a couple really nice nautical styles for this spring.  The bag is made from rugged nautical grade canvas with cotton webbing handles and brass links and clips.  This durable classic duffle bag is exactly what I am looking for.  Smaller versions of the bag can also be found here.

If you have not heard the news by now, L.L. Bean launched their ‘Signature‘ collection earlier this week.  The new line for men and women focuses on the companies 100 years of heritage but updating style and fit for today’s world.  I think it was great decision selecting and luring Alex Carleton (Rogues Gallery) back to the L.L. Bean to become creative director of the ‘Signature’ collection. 

Looking through the collection of men’s classics the outerwear immediately drew my attention.  The ‘Featherweight Hunting Jacket’ and the ‘Canvas Jacket’ are two of my favorites as both are made for comfort but also share timeless qualities.  In addition, you’ll find that the entire collection is surprisingly affordable, unlike many other heritage brands.
