Please note that all our bags are available in a range of colours and we also offer a bespoke colour service (see any product page for details).

Man Bags

Men love the rugged style and construction of Chapman Bags. Many of our bags are suitable for general purpose use, but we have focused on just three here for your consideration.

The Rambler is a classic Chapman styled bag with a fully zipped main enclosure. It has plenty of pockets and is particularly suitable for casual business and touring. The City Rambler is available in a range of contemporary colours if you want a more urban look.

 

The Fell is a somewhat smaller bag than the Rambler. The main compartment is closed with a flap and contains a full length zipped slip pocket. A best selling model with lots of general purpose applications. The City Fell offers a range of more urban colours.

The Despatch is a more contemporary styled shoulder bag whose portrait shape sits comfortably on the body. It includes a handy interior snaplink for hanging keys and other items conveniently.

Travel Bags

Our travel bags offer a stylish and dependable alternative to modern wheeled luggage. Chapman Travel Bags occupy less storage space, are easily carried on the shoulder and look better the older they get. We focus here on just three of our holdalls.

The Medium Traveller is a good size for longer trips, particularly if you need access to papers and other items on the move, as it offers a large exterior compartment. It requires check in for flying.

The Flight Holdall is designed to comply with current IATA hand baggage guidelines. So if you want a sizeable carry-on bag for shorter trips, this could be the bag for you.

 

If you want a simple and stylish holdall with room for a week's holiday clothes and essentials, try the Medium Classic Holdall, a very popular bag. The Large Classic Holdall is a sizeable alternative suitable for longer trips.

 

Carry-On/Touring Bags

Men often look for a bag which doubles as a good carry-on and touring bag. Here we focus on just two of the many bags in our range which fit the bill. For further ideas visit the section devoted to this category by clicking here.

The Livingstone is a light, flexible and roomy shoulder bag with large and secure zipped box pockets for valuables and a sizeable and flexible main compartment. This bag is big enough to carry overnight kit as well as papers and other gear.

If you would prefer a shoulder bag with a fully zipped main compartment, also suitable for cameras etc, try the Explorer. Its wide base and numerous pockets make it particularly suitable as a general purpose carry-on/touring bag.

Sporting Bags

Chapman Bags are used in all kinds of sports, from traditional field sports such as fly fishing and shooting to cricket, tennis, football and hiking.

We are one of the last remaining manufacturers of traditional British fly fishing bags and accessories and you can view the full range by clicking on the image below.

Our shooting range covers the full spectrum from cartridge bags and belts to game bags and gun covers. Click on the image below to view the full shooting range.

The 32" kitbag is our largest holdall and is often used by sportsmen who want something seriously big but rather more exclusive than the high street sports brands. It's made from Samtex, a washable synthetic fabric, and is big enough to accommodate, for instance, full cricket kit and much more besides. The 28" version will accommodate tennis rackets.

If you are looking for a gymn bag style, try the Flight Bag or Weekender Holdall, pictured below.

Traditional canvas rucksacks are hard to find and Chapman is one of the last remaining manufacturers. If you are buying a gift for a man who likes hiking and walking, this could make a great present.

 

Laptop Bags and Briefcases

Men often need bags capable of carrying a laptop and many Chapman bags offer a stylish alternative to the rather dull modern bags designed solely for this purpose. Here we focus on three Chapman bags often used to carry laptops.

The Huntsman is a sizeable and traditionally styled gentleman's bag capable of carrying a laptop up to 17" wide. It features two main compartments and large additional side pockets for stowing extra kit.

The Large Folio is a classic laptop bag shape capable of carrying laptops up to 16" wide. It features numerous pockets and compartments.

The Large Briefcase is a traditional style capable of carrying a laptop up to 18" wide and also featuring two large front pockets for stowing additional gear.
