CIVIC Bookbag 22L - Griffin Edition
$275.00 - $350.00
The iconic bookbag, reengineered and built in a custom, limited-edition waxed canvas shell.
To advance the Griffin Collection for Chapter 2, we needed a new form, but true to the Griffin's roots, one inspired by the past. Meet CIVIC Bookbag 22L, or CB22. It's the patterning, fit, function, and intuitive access you've come to love from EVERGOODS, in a nostalgic form and heritage waxed textile.
Old bookbags are single-lined floppy sacks. CB22 offers our signature harness for all-day comfort, while its large front admin pocket provides built-in organization for your daily pursuit. We took this upgraded classic and built it in three unique colors of P400 Wax C4X, a custom-made high-end cotton, wax-finished shell that’s stiff and durable. The internal lining is a stunning hot orange and CB22 is finished with a fully lined foam leather bottom, for gear protection and structure.
Limited edition collab patch included. All sales are final. Lifetime Warranty Applies.
Note: Only 300 of the Waxed Camo and 100 of the Waxed Blood Orange colors were produced.
A CENTURY IN THE MAKING
We worked with historic Scottish mill, Halley Stevensons, to custom-make a high-end cotton & waxed finish shell called P400 Wax C4X. The end result is a weave that’s more tear-resistant than other waxed canvas we tested, and a harder and more crystalline wax than what is usually found in apparel.
HI-VIS INTERIOR
The heritage Griffin collection comes equipped with a 420D HT Nylon Hot Orange lining with PU coating. This pop color aids in elevating the visibility of your internal gear, making the “grab n’ go” a breeze.
LEATHER-GOODS FROM EVERGOODS
For the second chapter of Griffin, we went back to what worked the first run: American-made leather. We sourced the leather for CB22's leather bottom, zipper pullers, patch, and style label from a company with over 100 years of expertise: BERGER Co. in Atchison, KS.
LIMITED EDITION ART
Every wearable item in the Griffin collection comes with a custom-designed limited-edition debossed leather EVERGOODS x Carryology patch designed by Dan Matsuda.
ICONIC ORGANIZATION
For our twist on the heritage bookbag's classic front pocket, we patterned the pocket with independent volume. So, it is large enough to fit a CAP1, packable jacket, or notebook – even if the main cavity is stuffed. Our admin pocket also contains 2 drop-in pockets sized for phones or passports, and 1 drop-in slot for a pen or knife. Key leash included.
MODERN ACCESS
Whereas some main cavities of classic book bags are simply dark cavernous pockets, CB22 offers a full panel loading design for easy gear packing and access. The internal cavity also contains a padded and suspended stretch laptop compartment and an opaque security pocket.
QUICK ACCESS EDC
For rapid access to your valuables or sunglasses, CB22 includes a top yoke pocket with independent volume.
COLOR-FASTNESS. IMPROVED.
To upgrade the backpanel for Griffin II, we engaged Haley-Stevensons to seek 3rd party lab testing to compare Super-Dry (from Griffin I) vs P400. The tests showed that P400 had better color-fastness than the Super-Dry. So, Griffin II's backpanels are constructed using the same P400 as the rest of the bag.
