Every so often we snap out of our money=style mindset and can see the world through more objective eyes. There are tons of stylish options on the market that don’t make us choose between a little bit of luxury and food, and we especially love the Peasants & Travelers brand for bringing affordable style to [...]

For quick get-aways and weekend trips, the duffel bag is a lightweight and portable option that can be crammed into overhead compartments or thrown into the back seat of your car. Since luggage this size will hopefully never be subject to the brutal treatment of airline baggage handlers, stylish options like these four are a great way to show the plebeians how to travel in style. Our favorite options for sturdy, stylish weekend bags all have great luggage pedigrees. Despite the airlines’ inexplicable checked bag fees, sometimes it’s impossible to fit a week’s worth of clothes into a tiny carry-on and we’re forced to go with something a little bigger. If we absolutely must subject our luggage to baggage handlers throwers, conveyor belts, and TSA searches, it should be able to withstand some abuse and stand out from the masses of cheap black nylon rollers. We like polycarbonate shells for being able to take a punch and the four spinner wheels for easier maneuverability. These are four of our favorites for making sure your belongings arrive intact for years to come. We’re typically not inclined to give much credence to a brand that has only been around since 1996, but here’s proof that the right design philosophy and some serious craftsmanship can make up for a lot of lost decades. We swooned when we read the Jack Spade Inspiration page: “The products these companies manufacture have style because the designs have a reason for being… We want to return to this approach, once again offering men items that represent both honest, thoughtful design and practical purpose.” Sometimes our travels for business and leisure require more wardrobe options than just jeans and polos. To keep suits, jackets, and tuxedos properly housed while in transit, the suit hold or garment bag is an absolute necessity. Paul Smith makes our favorite version of this luggage staple, the Westborne Suit Hold ($470). The Westborne is made of black woven canvas touch fabric with leather trim, and is fully lined in purple. And it’s the hotness. |
