All the Kings Men Laptop Messengers have long been a favourite of Rushfaster. One of the guys here has been using an All the Kings Men Midi for years and is still in love with it. We thought you might be interested in an – admittedly slightly biased – review!

We know of someone who once actually stole an airplane seatbelt from a plane because they liked them so much… needless to say they got in big trouble and coped a hefty fine. The good news is that you don’t actually have to steal one… the hero part of this bag is a genuine airplane seatbelt strap and buckle. It’s ingeniously used as the shoulder strap of the bag and although the strap looks like it might be uncomfortable, it actually sits on your shoulders quite well. Think of it as wearing a seatbelt except that you position the buckle just in-front of your shoulders near the collar bone.

The ATKM bags are made from a durable cotton canvas that gives them a worn, vintage look. Each bag is stamped with a unique makers code on the front flap and they come in a variety of colours.

The ATKM has a slim design which means that there isn’t lots of room. If you need to carry a mobile office around then this is not for you but if you just need a laptop, iPad or netbook and a few documents then it’s perfect. There is also a small external pocket on the front for your power supply which is handy. If you want a laptop bag that you can stuff your whole life into, you’d be better off with something by Booq or Incase.

ATKM bags have a good 5mm padding all around to protect your laptop from bumps and scratches. All laptop bags have different levels of protection, this one is perfectly suited for everyday commuting but nothing too adventurous.

All the King’s Men Laptop Messengers come in three sizes, Mini (13″ laptops/iPad/Netbook), Midi (15″ laptops) and Maxi (17″ laptops) and six colours – black, brown, green, grey, red and limited edition Runway yellow. Check them out!
