Leather Work Bags for Men - Lancaster by Bucklestone

Each of our Lancaster Leather Messenger Bags has been individually handcrafted by a skilled craftsman. We only use the highest quality cowhide as we believe in making leather bags that last the test of time. Currently we offer this style in two fashionable leather types.

Bucklestone Hunter Leather Messenger Bag in Brown

Bucklestone Hunter Leather has a smooth matt surface and superb lightly oiled finish. This type of leather is designed to scratch and mark easily. Some of these marks can be rubbed away with fingertips or smoothed out using a waxed leather protector; others will blend in over time. This designer effect along with variation and intensity of colour within the leather, adds to the rugged, urban character of the product. The leather has been specially developed to look and feel the same as traditional oiled leather; the only difference is that it has been crafted to leave almost no colour transference on clothing (except when damp). As leather is a natural product, the intensity of the colour will always vary slightly from hide to hide during the dyeing process, making each product totally unique.

Bucklestone Bubble Leather has been given a unique raised and textured finish. To create the bubbled look, the leather is put into a press designed to create rounded, raised bumps resembling very small pebble-like shapes. This type of leather has amazing strength and durability whilst retaining a supple, slouchy accent. The natural variations in texture and appearance prevalent in the fine grain authenticate its genuine leather origin. To care for this type of leather we recommend the use of leather cream conditioner.

We provide extra long shoulder/crossbody straps that can be adjusted to any desired length; one size fits all, from the shortest to the tallest.

This is a big bag with excellent capacity and plenty of compartments and pockets to organise contents efficiently; laptop, folders, files, notepad, pens.

It's the finishing touches that makes these bags feel superbly luxurious when compared to others in the marketplace. Note the fine tailored stitching, the Branding Iron logo on zip pulls and leather panels, high quality genuine brass fittings and additional shoulder pad for comfort when carrying heavy loads. Each bag is fully lined and comes with a protective dust cover for storage when not in use.

The COLOUR that makes MEN more ATTRACTIVE to WOMEN

Guys, if you’re feeling a bit deflated after all the excitement of Christmas and New Year Celebrations, we have a little fun psychology to cheer you up.

Should you wish to make a big impression on a member of the opposite sex, forget flowers and chocolates, just try adding a bit of red colour to your wardrobe instead.

Lancaster Leather Messenger Bag for Men by Bucklestone

According to a study appearing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology wearing the colour red makes a man appear more powerful, attractive and sexually desirable to women. Since ancient times, red clothing has symbolised ardour and courage; the Spartans, Persians, Romans and Gladiators all embraced it.

Men wearing red are perceived to be of a higher status and therefore more likely to earn a better living. Red dyestuffs were historically extremely expensive due to the fact they were not readily available. This led to the colour red being seen as affordable by only the affluent as emblems of significant wealth and influence.

Why do women like men in red?

 It’s also interesting to note that in non-human species such as apes, fish and birds, the alpha males display red colouration to attract amorous females. So, if you want to catch the attention of a lovely lady, make sure you are displaying a flash of red such as a jacket, scarf, tie, pocket square, shirt or, a even a bag.

Researchers made some undergraduate girls look at pictures of a man against either a red or white background and then rated the man's attractiveness. The man was rated significantly more attractive when he was pictured against the red background. A red jacket can be a great asset.

There's Something Appealing About A Man Wearing Red

If a whole jacket in red seems a bit daunting, why not try a scarf. There are several ways to create a style that suits you best.
For a casual look, simply drape over both shoulders.
For a preppy look, wrap once around your neck and dangle one end backwards over your shoulder.
For a smart, tailored look, make a loose knot at the front and tuck into your coat or jacket.

A red tie is called the power tie for a reason and implies that you mean business. Just like Tiger Woods wears a red shirt to convey dominance, the red tie is a reaffirmation of strength, authority and dominance within the professional world.

A Red Pocket Square Says You Mean Business

 Leading global football teams choose red shirts because it’s a colour that demands attention.  A red shirt is associated with long term success in English football.

A sporty red bag adds that essential pop of colour. This could be a rucksack, holdall or work bag. Always choose leather for maximum effect.

The Ultimate Luxury Leather Wash and Shaving Bag for Men

 What Makes a Good Wash & Shaving Bag for Men? We asked 100 men what was important to them and then designed the ultimate wash and shaving bag, constructed to look good and perform really well.

Luxury Leather Wash & Shaving Bag by Bucklestone

 

SIZE MATTERS. Yes, it does. All our men said that they wanted a wash bag large enough to fit all the neccessary toiletries required but not too big that it wouldn't fit comfortably into a travel bag or suitcase. Also, contents tend to get lost when a wash bag is too big and you end up rumaging around for ages trying to find that elusive pair of tweezers or toothpaste. Plus, when your wash bag is too big, it doesn't fit on the bathroom shelf. Conversely, when a wash bag is too small, it gets overstuffed and bursts at the seams. We think ours is the perfect size!

ORGANISATION. Our surveyed men said they wanted different compartments and pockets to be able to organise personal contents where they could be located quickly and easily. We've gone one step further and added some elasticated holders to help keep razors, shaving stick and toothbrushes in their place whilst our interior pockets are great for keeping shower gels and deodorants from rolling around. A place for everything and everything in its place.

SECURE ZIP FASTENING. Most men in our survey said that they like to be able to close their wash bag with a zip as this is the most secure way of stopping contents falling out at inopportune moments. We were happy to oblige.

GRAB HANDLE. As well as being able to carry your wash bag easily, some men told us it's nice to be able to hang it on a peg or the back of a door if space is tight. We've added a handle that is not too broad or too slim so that it's functional as well as stylish.

STYLE. When visiting family and friends or staying overnight in a hotel with your partner, it was important to have a respectable looking wash bag that you wouldn't be ashamed to own. Leather was seen to be a more luxurious, expensive looking product than fabric, PU or plastic. We've selected high quality full grain leather to make ours.

HOME OR AWAY. Quite a few of our men liked to use their wash bag both at home and for weekends away. That way, they didn't need to pack a separate travel wash bag but just pick up and go with the one they use on a daily basis, knowing that everything they need would automatically be in there.

BRAND NAME. Nearly all of our surveyed men agreed that a product with a brand name meant that it was guaranteed to be good quality. We have branded all our products proudly with our famous Bucklestone Branding Iron Logo.

PRICE. Value for money came out at the top of the votes, with the cheapest price coming a close second. A lot of our men were suspicious that a very cheap item would be just too poor in quality and not last very long. With very expensive products, some men felt you're paying for the brand name and it simply isn't worth paying the extra for. The majority of our men were happy to settle for a mid range price when purchasing for themselves as this was more likely to guarantee longevity and a satisfactory quality. We have therefore designed our products to be made as cost efficiently as possible but without compromising on quality.

GIVING GIFTS. When giving a wash bag to a more senior member of the family or relative, the majority of our surveyed men said they would spend a little bit more money to ensure that the gift they chose was a good quality one that would last the test of time. However, when giving to a younger brother or son, who was perhaps going to university, you would choose a cheaper one as they couldn't be completely trusted not to abuse it or lose it!

MESH POCKETS. Many of our men said they liked 'see through' pockets which are handy for locating items instantly and we thought this was a great idea, so we've added plenty.

HIDDEN POCKETS. One or two of our men wanted pockets that were not transparent; great for personal items that are, well, just personal. We've added some of those, too.

COLOURS. Brown came in as the favourite colour (ours is rugged and distressed), tan was the next most popular and black a close third.
