Four Weekenders to Make Memorial Day Travel a Breeze

With only four days of work standing between us and Memorial Day weekend, we’re daydreaming at our desks of hopping a plane, train or automobile to our first holiday excursion of summer. Whether you’re traveling to the beach, country or hitting the pavement in another city, one thing is for certain: toting along more than one bag is just plain foolish.

With so many great weekenders out there, it’s easy to snag one that suits both your style and space needs for three days of chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool. Not sure where to find your perfect match? Check out four of our favorites below and make it a one bag Memorial Day weekend.

Industry Portage Grey Canvas Weekender
This bag is as smart as it is sleek. Black suede-wrapped handles and trim and a water-resistant nylon bottom stylishly contrast with durable grey canvas. A cobalt blue interior housing two zipper pockets keeps your belongings neat and at the ready. $175, The Cools

Sandqvist Carl Gustav Weekender
There’s nothing more ruggedly handsome than camel canvas, wouldn’t you agree? This durable cotton weekender features vegetable-dyed handles and detailing, including a removable, adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free carrying. $188, Roztayger

Krane Haley Large Duffle
If luxury is the look you want to channel, Krane’s olive suede Haley Duffle is your ticket to ride. Sufficient to hold a week’s worth but small enough to carry on, dark leather straps and gunmetal hardware are equal parts manly and chic. $1,035, The Cools

Coach Transatlantic Travel Carryon
Leave it to Coach to keep things classic with this timeless piece. Premium glove-tanned leather improves with age, giving your bag a cooler, lived-in feel with each destination. Double handles and a detachable, adjustable strap let you carry it your way. Don’t forget to make it unique and monogram the hangtag. $698, Coach

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

The German company has been making square watches out of Glashütte since 1992, when the Tetra launched alongside the Tangente, Ludwig, and Orion. (Fun fact: the name Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin.)
