Tuck Backpack for busy dad

I've been wanting a quality "dad bag" for a while. Something that looks good while carrying my laptop for work, a change of clothes for my potty training toddler, and a bottle for the baby.

Thus far, the Tuck Backpack is that and more. I'm very pleased with it. It's stylish but understated and simply feels good to use and hold.

I resisted and lost!

I've always been a fan of bags from WaterField, and over the years I've really struggled not to let myself just go on a spending spree.
But when I saw the Tuck, I really loved it. And I looked for ways to convince myself that I didn't need to buy it but, in the end, I lost and gave in...And I have no regrets! 😁

Perfect!

Love the look (Chocolate leather) and quality. Interior is roomy and well compartmentalized, and the magnetic clips are awesome.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Tuck Backpack, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
