A made in SF Timbuk2 bag was (and is?) the ultimate laptop bag.

I used one as a laptop etc. bag for a long time. As laptops got a bit smaller I now tend to repurpose a Mountainsmith bag (used over the shoulder) these days as my travel "personal item." But, in any case, some sort of shoulder bag is my goto. I find there are some downsides to backpacks on public transit, etc. and I end up with them slung over one shoulder anyway so why not use something designed for that usage.

Vintage ones, maybe. Timbuk2 has been slowly moving their manufacturing overseas.

Rickshaw Bagworks is the made in SF successor from the previous Timbuk2 CEO.

That'll be good to know in 30 years when I need to replace my Timbuk2 bag.

Good to know. I know they shifted some production, but it wasn't clear to me if the custom ones were still made in SF, and if the non-custom bags were made in SF any time in the last 15 years.
