The Rothco Vintage Expedition Rucksack is a canvas and leather backpack for a week that runs from city streets to wilderness trails. Leather accents and antique brass hardware give it a timeless look, and naturally water-resistant heavyweight canvas gives it the build to keep up. The main compartment closes with a drawstring under a flap, a front pocket keeps essentials close at hand, and padded, adjustable shoulder straps keep the carry comfortable.

Why it works:

  • A classic look anywhere: It looks at home on an urban outing or a wilderness trek. Leather accents and antique brass hardware evoke a timeless aesthetic.
  • Main load closed and covered: What you pack stays put inside. A drawstring closure and flap secure the main compartment.
  • Essentials while moving: The things you reach for often stay easy to get to. A front pocket gives quick access to essentials while you are on the move.
  • Comfort on the walk: The pack sits right on your shoulders. Padded, adjustable shoulder straps let you set the fit.
  • Style with a rugged build: The vintage look comes with real toughness. It is made of naturally water-resistant cotton canvas that is rugged and built for the long haul.

Who it's built for:

For everyday carriers who want one vintage-style canvas rucksack for urban outings, wilderness treks and daily use.
