"Clean lines, good colors, minimal branding. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Has a ring to it. Should be your mantra, really. Well, that's exactly what the gents behind the recently-launched accessories line Jack + Mulligan had in mind when they designed their collection of men's bags and carrying cases. Because, let's face it, the traditional silhouettes (tote, messenger, duffel) aren't going anywhere. They're time-tested stalwarts that serve their purpose and serve it well. For that reason, Jack + Mulligan has focused on those styles (plus some additional ones including a dopp kit and flask), and crafted them out of canvas, lined them in cotton twill, used leather on the handles, and antique brass hardware. The colors are bright but not garish, different from the muted, sepia tones typical of the "heritage" brands, but avoiding any cheesy or juvenile connotations. Add to the list of "pros" that the bags are made 100% in the U.S.A. and they come with a lifetime guarantee. If that doesn't sweeten the deal, we don't know what will. Just say it to yourself, over and over again: Clean lines, good colors, minimal branding. That's a mantra we could really get behind." - Esquire.com, February 2014
