The backpack is everyone’s first bag growing up, but it can be difficult to find a bag that has grown up along with you. WP Standard’s goal in creating a line of leather backpacks was to bring back the dual shoulder strap design with a contemporary hiking design that will make you forget of the nylon monstrosities you carried in the 7th grade. Inspired by the roll top backpacks and rucksacks worn by everyone from hikers, to soldiers and explorers who required utility, but in a sleeker urban style wrapped in a full grain leather that will age beautifully with use.
The history of the backpack follows a very similar path of most modern fashion designs for men, it began life in the military. Pictures of soldiers carrying fully loaded backpacks into battle have proliferate throughout history. Although, the once heavy metal frames of the past have given way to sleek and contemporary mens leather backpack designed for urban living.
WP Standard has struck a balance between the need for utility, size and design that is versatile enough to be used for a weekend hike and a minimalist vintage style for your weekends in the city. While our leather backpack for men don’t lack for style, if you desire a personalized touch, custom monogramming is available on this product. We currently offer two mens leather backpack:
The Roll Top Backpack is our modern approach to the classic adjustable capacity roll top design. Slim and compact when carrying a little with the ability to increase capacity on a moments notice.
The Rucksack is a military classic that maintains the utility it once provided soldiers blended with a modern urban style to create a timeless design.
