Bigger L then what I expected!Ladies and gentlemen, behold the most extraordinary canvas bag I have ever had the pleasure of encountering! This bag, my dear comrades, is not just any ordinary bag—it is a veritable marvel of modern design and practicality. Allow me to regale you with a tale that would make even J. Peterman himself envious.Picture this: I eagerly unwrapped the package, my heart pounding with anticipation. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a Petermanesque adventure, with a bag that would challenge the very limits of what we thought was possible.As I laid eyes upon the bag, it was as if time stood still. The canvas fabric gleamed under the light, promising an experience beyond the realm of ordinary accessories. I held it in my hands, feeling its subtle texture, and whispered, "You magnificent bag, what wonders do you hold within?"With a mischievous grin, I decided to put the bag to the ultimate test—a challenge worthy of a Seinfeld episode. I gathered an absurd assortment of items: a laptop, a stack of books, a feather boa (for added pizzazz), and even a rubber chicken (because, why not?). And to my sheer astonishment, the bag accepted this challenge with unwavering grace. It swallowed each item, one by one, as if saying, "Is that all you've got? Give me more!"But wait, there's more to this tale! Just when I thought the adventure had reached its peak, I stumbled upon a secret compartment within the bag. It was a hidden oasis, a treasure trove of mystery. I half-expected it to contain a map leading to buried pirate treasure or a secret formula for the perfect cup of coffee.The durability of this bag, my friends, is truly a thing of legend. It has endured the chaos of daily life with the resilience of a warrior. Rain, hail, or stray shopping carts—nothing can diminish its unwavering strength. It has faced the trials and tribulations of the urban jungle, emerging unscathed and ready for more.The canvas material feels like a touch of luxury against the skin, evoking the essence of sophistication and style. It's as if the bag was crafted by artisans who understood the very essence of sartorial elegance. I can almost imagine J. Peterman himself penned an ode to its exquisite craftsmanship.In conclusion, my dear companions, if you seek a canvas bag that surpasses the boundaries of ordinary utility, look no further. This bag is a masterpiece—a symphony of size, durability, and secret compartments that would make even the likes of Elaine Benes take notice. So, dear friends, let this extraordinary canvas bag accompany you on your own Petermanesque adventures.It's a bag that Jerry Seinfeld himself would nod approvingly at, and George Costanza would even consider switching wallets for.Embrace the unparalleled wonder of this remarkable canvas bag—it's truly a story worth telling!Exquisitely yours,

I put a smaller suitcase inside of this large duffle bag in order to avoid buying more expensive hard shelled luggage. It has worked well for that. It ended up being one of my 50 pound bags on several trips. Because it was 50 pounds, the people helping me move my luggage tend to drag it versus lift it up and carry it. The dragging has caused a dime size hole in the bottom. So if you buy one, try to avoid dragging it.I plan to cut the bag and make a backpack out of it at some point. This much heavy canvas fabric would cost more than the bag.

In college I had a military duffel bag that I used to tote my laundry back and forth to the laundromat. Recently I went to the local military surplus store and found that the same duffel that I had used was of lesser quality that what I'd had and the price was higher than I wanted to pay. That led me to look on Amazon and find this Stansport Deluxe Duffel Bag and purchase the largest size available; 50" x 30". When it arrived I was thrilled with the quality and happy I'd made the purchase.As my daughter prepares for high school graduation I've been gathering up gifts that I think will be useful to her in college. The cool thing is, now I have a great bag to stuff them in and she too will have the ideal laundry helper as an additional gift!What I like about this product....+ The largest size (the one I bought) is HUGE! I'm 5'6" and I could stuff myself completely into it. Carrying two sleeping bags with room to spare would be no problem with this bag.+ Heavy-duty construction with tough canvas and strong stitching makes me think this will last a long time with hard use.+ The handles and strap are right where you need 'em!+ The price is incredible for a bag of such great quality. I would have expected to pay twice as much.+/- The black color does show scuff marks, so it will look weathered quicklly.+/- You may want to spray it with a water-repellent spray if moisture is a concern for you.+/- The largest size is really, really big, and when loaded it may be way too heavy for some to carry. Maybe go a size down if your load will be a heavy one?I would not hesitate to recommend this bag and probably will buy more to give as gifts. Ideal for college students, campers, and athletes the Stansport Deluxe Duffel Bag with Shoulder Strap is just what I was looking for at the right price!NOTE: The color of the bag and the size vary the price. I found that the 42" size in olive was about eighteen dollars, so I picked up a few to give as graduation gifts for my daughter's friends. Totally worth it!-----------------------------------------------------------UPDATE: 8/20/16: I was able to fit 5 jumbo sized vacuum bags filled with 4 sets of Twin XL sheets, 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels, 6 wash cloths, 1 rug, 1 body pillow, 1 terry robe, 2 throw pillows, 4 standard bed pillows with shams, 1 Full sized quilt, and 2 throw blankets - into this bag! It weighed about 50 pounds by the time I was finished, but it was a fantastic way to contain a lot of stuff when moving my daughter into her dorm.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
