Remember your teen days sack pack? Well, I do – and not very fondly may I say. But all of that changed when I caught a glimpse of QWSTION‘s ‘simple bag’ – a modern day sack, taking inspiration from that oldie, but made for today’s cool kids. With all that 80′s/90′s revival it was bound to come back to life, but we have the Swiss based brand to thank for this fresh version featuring Coated cotton canvas and details taken from parachutes and airborne uniforms. Head over to their web-site to grab one – you don’t have to be a Swiss-wiz to do that – they ship worldwide…

With their fascination with vintage ware and americana wear you can trust the Japanese to produce some of the best workwear inspired clothing and accessories. Good examples for the fruits of this obsession are the products of Japanese brand FIL ‘EM ALLS (shown above and after the jump). I can’t tell you much about ‘em because unfortunately I don’t speak Japanese, but I’m sure you’ll be as impressed as I was with their apparent attention to detail and cool branding. Enjoy y’alls!
