Originally designed for our team to carry tools, lunch, working drawings, pencils, glasses and whatever else they need for a day on site. Robust to the last. Handcrafted in British Millerain waxed cotton. The very same heavyweight cloth supplied to Barbour in England and Filson in Seattle. Both names being bywords for heritage outerwear.
No zips to break. No fasteners to lose. An exercise in simple function beautifully refined. Always in a colourway that works with pretty much anything.
Why the cryptic line of text which has become a signature of the bag?
Sometimes a question is worth more than an answer.
WORK / NO WORK. What have I carried in mine? A cashmere sweater, reading glasses, Luncheon magazine, James Joyce Ulysees second edition hardback, firewood, small chainsaw, wool picnic blanket, open face crash helmet, three bottles of Primitivo, twelve pounds of quince, six Crown Prince squash, a carefully folded needlecord suit with pressed shirt and formal shoes, a Lurcher asleep and a Technics 1210 turntable.
Not all at once you understand. But certainly in a single week.
Inglis Hall products are handmade to a very high quality, mostly to order, in our Sussex workshops or by our UK partners. This means that some items can take up to 12 weeks to produce and arrive with you. We always endeavour to deliver more quickly whenever we can, and some smaller items and products that are held in stock will arrive much faster.
