If I had $1000000

I'd buy this bag... and other things, but mostly this bag.

I've been looking for a new bag for quite some time now.
I have this really vintage army bag that I got from my dad. He was in the army when I was born and gave me his 'map bag' (for holding maps) when I was really young.
It is a really great and durable bag. I love it.
It is a perfect army green with an adjustable over the shoulder strap.
But it is too small. It can only hold so many things at once, and on some days I need to hold many things: books, computer, deodorant, etc... It is very disconcerting.
Also the buttons are a little shot; its not easy to close or open.
BUT! I found exactly the bag I wanted. It was at Banana Republic. It was perfect.
It is brown, a great color.
It is canvas, a great material.
It is a messenger bag (I don't really like the ones that look like purses cause they don't have flaps).
It is a little stylish, nice design in the strap and such.


It has a slew of inside pockets, great for separating all the different things I need to carry around (as you can see from this view on the side).
But unfortunately it was $148.
(Also I think Dennis might have it) Someone I know does.UGH!
So I have to wait to find one that is just a perfect, but is cheaper ... or more 'accessible' ...
In any case I looked online, found a few things, nothing was as good, plus its hard to shop online, because you don't know exactly what you're getting. It might not be exactly what you would have wanted if you have seen it in person.
