Can anyone recommend a messenger bag for a 15 year old boy? DN said he would like a new one for his birthday. Preferably canvas.
Aero? Kohls? Amazon? Not sure where to look.
Until you said canvas, I was going to suggest Timbuk2 because they are pretty much indestructible.

Timbuk 2 is great. Make sure there are enough pockets, etc. Some versions have very little organization.

At 15yo, I would have him pick it out first.

He lives out of town, so having him pick it out isn't really an option.
The bag doesn't have to be canvas, I am open to nylon as long as it is washable.
I really didn't want to spend the $70+ on a Timbuk2.

Have you looked on Etsy?
I just found this super cool messenger bag made from old military
canvas. It's a little expensive though.

No idea if they have any boyish ones but Pottery Barn Teen had some CHEAP messengers and backpacks.

I'd do Kohl's JC Penney's AERO also try eBags.com. Someplace with free shipping !
Overstock.com carries them also
