Anybody know of a good site to get a non-Indy messenger bag?

Before you cry blasphemy, the Indy bag is just too small to fit college books, paper, and a lunch. I can find countless nylon bags, but I can't find a good canvas bag. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The Finnish gas mask bag is a bit bigger than the Mk VII and does the job well I think;

My personal choice for a larger non-Indy Messenger bag is the Heavyweight Classic Messenger Sack as seen in Season 5 of "24".

You can get them here:

I can get one for you and ship it to Idaho. The bag would probably cost around 5 to 10 bucks but the shipping would be around 26 to 30 bucks. Plus the possible taxes.

Finnish Marimekko also makes some nice bags. http://www.marimekko.fi/ENG/bags/classics/grid.htm

Waxwear J. Crew Bag

I picked one up when I was there, and it's a pretty nice little bag. The wax coating gives the bag that worn look in just seconds, but it also keeps the bag from tearing when it gets caught on stuff too.
