If you are trying to track down that perfect Yalie bag, it might be worth looking to the Brits for inspiration.Smart Turnout's new Yale University Canvas Holdall has a beefy exterior belying a clever blue and white striped silk lining.
While I have not gotten my hands on one yet, Smart Turnout is a longtime friend of OTC and we're pretty sure this bag has the stuff we like. Thick canvas, sturdy leather trim and heavy zippers add substance to its preppy functional coolness.
It looks to be about the right size for an overnight trip up to Boston for The Game or lugging provisions to your buddy's tailgate shindig. Once you've sufficiently beaten it up, I bet this bag would even be a nice Friday office bag.

With today's 'overhead bin' approach to domestic air travel, I've traded in my roll-a-board for a classic duffle. The product profiled is perfect.
