Revisiting The Colonel Littleton No. 43 Mailbags

Here at OTC, we are lamenting the loss of one of our favorite bags – the No. 43 Mailbag – made by American leather goods brand Colonel Littleton. The design for the No. 43 was based on the iconic US Postal Service mail carrier bag, once a ubiquitous sight on America’s tree-lined streets.

Why Great Style is Personal

The question which often lingers in the back of many a man’s mind is this: does it matter what you wear when no one is looking? Whether one works in a casual office or from home, or simply operating out of other’s sight, many of us often struggle with what to wear. Too formal and we feel dressed up with nowhere to go.
