Civic Bookbag 22L - Griffin Edition

A CENTURY IN THE MAKING

Evergoods worked with historic Scottish mill, Halley Stevensons, to custom-make a high-end cotton & waxed finish shell called P400 Wax C4X. The end result is a weave that’s a more tear-resistant than other waxed canvas we tested, and a harder and more crystalline wax than what is usually found in apparel.

HI-VIS INTERIOR

The heritage Griffin collection comes equipped with a 420D HT Nylon Hot Orange lining with PU coating. This pop color aids in elevating the visibility of your internal gear, making the “grab n’ go” a breeze.

LEATHER-GOODS FROM EVERGOODS

For the second chapter of Griffin, we went back to what worked the first time: American-made leather. We sourced the leather for our zipper pullers, patch, and style label from a company with over 100 years of expertise: BERGER Co. in Atchison, KS.

LIMITED EDITION ART

Every wearable item in the Griffin collection comes with a custom-designed limited-edition debossed leather EVERGOODS x Carryology patch designed by Dan Matsuda.

ICONIC ORGANIZATION

For our twist on the heritage bookbag's classic front pocket, we patterned the pocket with independent volume. So, it is large enough to fit a CAP1, packable jacket, or notebook – even if the main cavity is stuffed. Our admin pocket also contains 2 drop-in pockets sized for phones or passports, and 1 drop-in slot for a pen or knife. Key leash included.

MODERN ACCESS

Whereas some main cavities of classic book bags are simply dark cavernous pockets, CB22 offers a full panel loading design for easy gear packing and access. The internal cavity also contains a padded and suspended stretch laptop compartment and an opaque security pocket.

QUICK ACCESS EDC

For rapid access to your valuables or sunglasses, CB22 includes a top yoke pocket with independent volume.

COLOR-FASTNESS. IMPROVED.

To upgrade the backpanel for Griffin II, Evergoods engaged Haley-Stevensons to seek 3rd party lab testing to compare Super-Dry (from Griffin I) vs P400. The tests showed that P400 had better color-fastness than the Super-Dry. So, Griffin II's backpanels are constructed using the same P400 as the rest of the bag.
