Waxed Canvas Pro Executive Upgrade

Love Waterfield Designs Bags! I own the Shinjuku Sling, Sutter Tech Sling and the Pro Executive Backpack in Ballistic Nylon. When the Pro Executive dropped in waxed canvas I had to get it. Awesome bags, amazing quality!!

laptop bag

No story , just needed a really nice lap top bag and this fit my need , looks great .

Great quality backback! The stitching is amazing!

High Quality Backpack

Really impressed with this backpack. The build quality is excellent, the materials feel durable, and it looks like it will hold up for years. It arrived exactly as described, and overall it’s been a great purchase.

The Last backpack You’ll ever Need.

Tried a couple other “premium” backpack brands (coughhFilsoncough) and don’t know why I strayed. The craftsmanship and quality and design of Waterfield is above anything I’ve used before. This Backpack is borderline perfect in design, weight, and fit.

"It's the little things that truly set it apart, like having it stay standing— a feature I didn't think about until I had it." - Brent W.

THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED BY THE COMMUNITY

This crowdsourced design involved customers from development to production. Together, we collaborated on their requirements, features, and use cases. See how it all unfolded.

The Pro Executive Backpack shows how useful a product can be when real people with real needs are behind its development.

CARING FOR THE LEATHER

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your bag, letting it develop it's own beautiful patina over time. However, if your Pro Executive Backpack has Chocolate Leather, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible.

You can also freshen up the look of the leather, by smoothing out the marks a bit with heat from a hair dryer to spread the oils around.

NOTE: This video of our classic Cozmo Brief and the Bolt Backpack uses the same distressed, full-grain leather as the Pro Executive Backpack.
