Question:
I've been eyeing one of the Carga felt wool bags for a while, like this one at Oak:
http://www.oaknyc.com/men/accessorie...t-wool-day-bag
Has anyone seen one of these in person? What are they like? How's the construction and comfort? Does it seem practical? Dressy, or casual? I just can't get a sense of it from the pictures I've seen.
Answer:
I think they look sweet. I saw them on Oak before and really liked the messenger bag, but not the price so much. Now I see they were marked down but sold out :(
I do wonder how well the wool would hold up, though.
Answer:
To be diplomatic, it looks unusual. It's hard to imagine it working for a particular situation. Please don't wear such an accessory to the office.
Answer:
I think it looks perfectly acceptable.
In fact, it looks much better than those hideous cheap briefcases most office-folk carry.
Answer:
I don't think that these bags were meant to be carried by middle managers or people who subscribe to the Robb Report. Yes, that's a compliment.
Answer:
Kinda cool, but like fogg I'd be concerned about durability if you tend to carry fairly heavy stuff (heavy books and the like, in my case).
Answer:
When did Oak's 40% sale start, anyway?! Everything but the fingerless gloves is gone!
Answer:
Something for the day manager:

Answer:
Link doesn't work. Any pictures?
Answer:
Cute!
I want to get all the colors, put wheels on them, string them together and have them trail behind me like ducklings.
I'm starting at a new office on Monday, and 'you only have one chance to make a first impression'!
