The Best Men's Backpacks & Rucksacks - Men's Essential Accessories - Leather, Pleather, Nylon

About this video

Weston teaches men how to select an essential leather backpack that works across casual and professional settings. She covers key requirements including laptop capacity, comfort, and durability, explains when backpacks are inappropriate (with suits), and reviews three specific backpack recommendations with detailed analysis of their features and materials.

Key takeaways

  • Weston argues backpacks should be made from leather for functionality and class, and advises against nylon or fabric versions as they stain easily and appear too sporty
  • Weston recommends never wearing a backpack with a suit or sport coat because shoulder straps wrinkle and can damage jacket shoulders and padding; use a briefcase instead
  • Weston recommends coordinating backpack color with your weekender bag to create a cohesive look when traveling together
