Now I'm not looking for Jansport or Northface backpacks, I would like something a bit more modern, yet timeless at the same time. Not necessarily too sporty either. I'm hoping to spend no more than $150
Check out the Fjällräven line of classic backpacks at various retailers. J. Crew kids has some as well as http://www.hhv.de/index.php?rid=240514&cid=1122211693&action=changeL anguage&lang=en
I just started college and didn't want a lame backpack either! I went with this one from J. Crew and I am thinking about getting another because I love it so much:
It is somewhat darker in real life, but looks great. The wax treatment on the cotton has stopped me from worrying in the rain because the rain falls right off of it. I have gotten compliments on it. I love it.
I looked for leather, but I ended up loving canvas looking bags more. This was my runner-up:
@AKang ...well you didn't need to say it looked like a joke after I told you I have been wearing it. Anyways, the only bag I would prefer over it is an out of production leather backpack by Belstaff from Ocean's Twelve:
@MagM Yeah, it is hard to get a reliable leather men's bag at a lower budget because mostly fine designers do the good ones. Canvas style ages well as they are based on classic go to bags for travelers. But leather was a good idea too if you can find them.
