Engineered Garments × Chrome Industries
Founded in 1995, Colorado's Chrome Industries started out in a garage, building their first bag using the seatbelt from an Oldsmobile for a tougher buckle than those available in catalogs.
The 24-litre 'Citizen' is the company's first model, with their signature padded buckle strap and a large storage capacity. A zippered laptop pocket, magnetic closure pockets and a carry handle make it an extremely practical everyday bag. The strap can be swapped from left to right depending on your preference. The buckle also doubles as a bottle opener.
For this limited edition collaborative model, Engineered Garments have used a black crocodile pattern across the entire bag and added a stash pocket on the shoulder strap for extra utility.
