Backpacks are a big deal and, need I even say it, in vogue. The quintessential school sack isn’t just for carting books to class anymore.
This project reinterprets JanSport’s iconic Right Pack silhouette and features Oro Russet Portage-oiled full-grain leather from S.B. Foot Tanning Co., the same company that creates leather used by Red Wing. The leather bottom is laser-etched with graphic patterns designed by HUF, while the interior includes a “Shoes-n-Booze” roll-top pocket sized big enough to hold a pair of sneakers or other travel essentials.
Also included is an internal padded sleeve for a 15” laptop, tricot-lined iPad sleeve, antique brass details, padded back panel with a secret stash pocket, leather lashing square, and co-branded JanSport, HUF, Benny Gold and Red Wing leather logos.
The collaboration pack will be available in August through the Benny Gold online store and select retailers.
