Stab x Modom Waterman’s Travel Bag

… yeah, you know why you’re handling this sailor’s duffel. You’re that enviable kind of man who will turn his face into a strong head wind, the salt biting into your face, your hair snapping back like a pennant, just to get a handle on what that reef is doing and if it’s worth your time (the answer is usually yes). You’re drawn to the sea, that great leveller, and so you want to stow those tees and wax, towels and whatevs, somewhere safe and dry. A little hit of good style (tan suede, brass couplings, commercial boat rope) doesn’t hurt too much, either. While we don’t think you can put a price on surf trip convenience, this sack punches with quality well above the $89.95 ticket. This is a collaboration between Stab and Modom Surf, available now in the Stab Store.
