These are two of my favorite things I own: a Barbour wax jacket and my PAC Designs courier bag, specifically the Ultimate OS. Here’s what I wrote about it when I was in Berlin, where I took this photo:

“There’s a little bit of rain every day in Berlin in the Spring. For that, I wear my Barbour jacket and strap on my PAC courier bag for my daily commute to class or to the shops. There are gloves and a watch cap in one of the pouch pockets of the jacket. The bag is brown and the jacket is green; the bag is rain-proof and the jacket is waxed against the rain. I even have fenders on my single-speed commuter.”
