Backpacks/Satchels Made in the United Kingdom

[Nirenn]

Hi, I'm looking for a new backpack or satchel, something for everyday use and day hikes. I'd love to get something that's made in the UK, I liked the look of some of Millicans products but they're made in China. So far the only manufacturer I've found that reliably makes packs in the UK are Chapman, I'm interested in their Troutbeck at the moment.

Are there any other ones around?

Great fishing & shooting bags with plenty of character although you will need deep pockets!

Not exactly brand new but in near new condition and British made, you could do worse than go to Endicott's for
a satchel from their fine range of Pattern '37 haversack, small and respirator bags. Genuine issue that's as old as Methuselah.

A piece of living (and working) history in excellent condition at a reasonable price.
Happy trails...torc.

As far as I know Billingham Camera bags are still made in the UK, you can pick up a 'worn in' one on ebay and save some money, I have an old 330 bag which has been used and abused for about twenty years or so.
