Here's a decent picture of mine, the bag hasn't really changed at all since I got it but the strap (which clearly isn't original) has aged nicely. I've been carrying this around for over four years now.

Considering the bag is nearly 70 years old, it's in incredibly good condition, they made things to last in those days.

I bought my replica around the same time as you got the real deal Feek. Just noticed I've worn a small hole in the back of it! Still use it every day to pop my lunch in for work though.

Mine, though it's a bit ragged from 4 years of use.

Some print outs for my trip to New York
Umbrella
New case for my tablet that arrived today
Barclays pinsenrty thingy
Empty tupperware from my lunch

I absolutely HATE guys with rucksacks on the tube, it's like the are oblivious to the fact that they extend a foot out behind them, so forever hit people when they turn around like in that old ladder comedy sketch.

I agree Krooton - it's crowded enough already! If I do take a rucksack on the tube (in the very very rare instance I have more than a wallet to carry) I take it off my back, and typically commutes before or after the made rush anyway. I just don't have that much stuff to carry around with me! :D

Ok ok, I'm prepaired for flak for this, based on my presence in this thread lol, I'm off to American next week and I needed a decent bag to store all my stuff in on the plane. I finally caved and bought a "man bag"

It's manly enough not to look too camp-ish, whilst being small enough not to knock stuff off shelves in shops (like a rucksack)

means I can put my iPad and anything I buy in it
