The 14 Best Personal Carry On Bags

• Just the most beautiful bag a man can find
• Actually incredibly durable—holds up to rain, abuse, and anything else

• The price, though warranted, makes in well above the rest of this list

Oh... Another pick from commerce editor Luke Guillory:

"Wait! Before they take the mic away from me, Bennett Winch makes my greatest object of lust, this leather tote bag. Yes, the price is well above the rest of this list, but for a certain type of guy who's reading Esquire, it is the bag. Bennett Winch, writ large, is the brand for this echelon of menswear guy.

And it ain't just pretty. I've gotten to know the Bennett Winch team and finagled one of these handmade British bags off them. It's honestly incredible. The leather is supple and feels better than the nylon shit that's on this list, and it'll last infinitely longer than all of that. I've had mine for going on two years now and used it everyday. It's a work bag, personal item when traveling, and has (on more than one occasion) served as an emergency umbrella in a summer shower. It looks as good as the day I got it, and not once has water gotten into it.

If you're big on the organization stuff, there's a spacious laptop pocket and three interior pockets for pens, wallet, kets, etc. The entire interior is done in a cotton twill that's just as high-end as the full-grain outer. The handles are long enough to sling over the shoulder, short enough to carry by your side. Nothing I say about this bag will do it justice; it's my prized possession, an actual heirloom."
