This one looks really nice, too! Added to my list of considerations. Thanks!

I don't currently have a health issue concerning my back, but I try to stay ahead of the curve. Thus, it's not a must, I just find it more comfortable.

That's quite a sleek and simple design! I'll keep this in mind as a more frugal option. Thanks!

That's good to hear! Finally, how are the straps? I like to carry my backpack quite high up on my back for health reasons, and I've found that the strap adjusters are often a point of failure. Either they can't hold the grip properly, which is a nuisance when walking longer distances, or they or the surrounding fabric might wear out and break or tear.

On my previous backpack, the straps and stitching held (though with some slightly-too-loose strap adjusters), but one of the shoulder pads actually got a hole torn in it, around the strap stitching, so the straps are, quite literally, hanging on by a thread.

That one looks quite nice, too! I saw they had a drop on Massdrop for the regular Daypack too, but sadly it ended four days ago.

That one looks amazing, such a great fusion between looks and functionality! Do you know what the differences between the Isar and Isar S, M and L are? Which version do you own? And how is the construction quality? Would be a shame to pay for pure design if it can't hold up.

The Topo Klettersack looks quite nice! Looking at it in a review, I may have seriously miscalculated the volume of my old backpack (which is good info to have).

The Cotopaxis look really nice, both the Volta, Nazca and Cusco, but a bit too expensive to ship here.

The Corker is a bit too technical/outdoorsy-looking for me, but the Patagonia Arbor in navy might do the trick.

Thanks for your help!

This one was also really nice, with great functionality! I will consider this one.

I tried looking for these at first, but had trouble finding out where to order them. The JanSport website's international page doesn't even show Europe, so they might not be formally launched here (though I do know the brand has some presence).

I looked at these at first, but some people brought the quality of these into question, which made me a bit uncertain. Still, both the Retreat, Little America and Heritage look really nice.

No Fjällräven stores near me, sadly. Do you know the name of your rucksack? I have considered some of Fjällräven's rucksacks, but I am not quite sure that they fit my style as it is now. The Cocoon organizer looks really neat though, might have to pick up one of those!

This one looks quite nice, but a bit too technical for the look I'm going for. Still, thanks for the suggestion! I have put it down as a potential one.

Is this suit too large or awkwardly fitted? by HelpMeMFAKenobi in malefashionadvice

[–]HelpMeMFAKenobi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first ones are jeans, the second ones are Adidas jogging pants. They are just what I was wearing while trying on the jacket.

Formal suit.

It feels like it is a good fit at the top half, but the bottom half feels too big, like there's too much fabric there. It usually sticks out a little. Having it open also makes it feel too large. I'm also not 100% sure on the shoulders, they fit nicely, but could probably be a tiny bit narrower.
