J. Crew 'The Original' Leather Postal Messenger

Taking a tip from our Uncrate readers, I happened across the fact that 'Today at the site of the long-closed Liquor Store bar in New York City, J.Crew will hold the grand opening of its first mens-only store.' The Tribeca Men's Shop will feature essentials from J. Crew's mens line, and some favs from other companies and designers. So, with all the hoopla I had to go check this out for myself! I found the man bag to end all men bags in this Original Leather Postal Messenger. Handcrafted in American leather, we have here a beautiful recreation like the old oil-tanned mailbags carried by the US Postal Service from the mid 1800's to the late 1970's. Historically correct in detail, this one-of-a-kind messenger bag features heavy copper rivet, a buckle strap closure, and an interior back-wall patch pocket. Available in cognac, it measures 11 1/2x15x5 and sells for $795. Absolutely breathtaking...
