Bayfield Bags Produces Travel Bag For Mens Toiletries

Bayfield Bags, an online store that supplies a variety of items for men and women, would like to announce the release of their men’s canvas toiletry bag. Designed to be waterproof, the bags are made from waxed canvas, a material that is widely considered to be the 'original waterproof fabric.’ The bags are designed to be sturdy, aesthetically pleasing and functional, as with all of the products Bayfield Bags keeps in stock.

Waxed canvas is tied to the history of clipper ships. Historically, impoverished sailors would sew scraps of ruined or discarded sails and rub them with linseed oil to create a waterproof poncho that protected their skin from harsh weather conditions at sea. In the mid-1800s. a Scottish mill that contracted as a sailmaker for the British military fleet responded to the creation of fast-moving clipper ships by replacing flax sails with sails made from cotton impregnated with linseed oil. This resulted in the creation of stronger, lighter sails that remained waterproof in heavy gales. The use of cotton sails covered in linseed oil rapidly spread to protective clothing worn by fishermen and sailors who now, not weighed down by sodden clothing, could respond more quickly to dangerous conditions at sea. Linseed oil treatments were replaced with paraffin wax in the 1930s, a wide improvement over linseed (which hardened and cracked with age).

Using some of the same treatments and knowledge sailors possessed over a century ago, Bayfield Bags produces its high quality, waterproof travel bag for men’s toiletries. The canvas leather toiletry bag features a paraffin-over-cotton canvas exterior that lasts years—and even gets better with age. The materials and the colors give the bag a vintage look with dark brown, retro-style accents that are accentuated by age. The bag’s appearance is distinctly rugged and unmistakably masculine. It is also quite large, allowing the owner to carry everything they need no matter where they are going, whether they are traveling or camping and so on. It is designed in such a way as to keep items neatly organized.

“We created our men’s toiletry bag to have that same timeless, masculine rustic retro appeal that has mottled coloring and develops rich lines and color variations as it ages, much like genuine leather products do,” says the company. “This Dopp kit is practical and organized, with outer pockets on each side for small items, a roomy interior for large items and a small zippered interior pocket for nail clippers, tweezers, etc.” Read more here: Mens Toiletries Bag Leather.

The bag has received a number of excellent reviews from buyers. One 5-Star Amazon review states, “Although I have only had this less than a week, the quality of this product is 5 Stars.” The review continues, “Many places to store things and a very unique bag. From the 'insert' that came with the bag, this is a handmade product from a small company. I think it is worth the extra money, as it is unique compared to other toiletry bags I've owned in the past. If you are looking for something 'cheap' then you can find many items elsewhere that will meet your needs for a cheap bag. If you want something a little more unique and nicer, then this is a good bag. As far as durability, it is only a week old, but it's made of canvas (waxed) and has some leather trim. I would think it would last long.”

Another 5-Star review on Amazon relates that “This is a wonderful travel bag; it is well constructed, looks great and feels great with use. That being said, the bag is simply overpriced. In my opinion, the pricing of the bag is in aesthetics, not the construction or materials used.”
