Fashion fix: Belstaff colonial shoulder bag from I Am Legend

We’ve long cast an appreciative eye over Belstaff’s contribution to cinema, the cooler-then-cool brand seemingly always responsible for the best jackets. Often leading us to think that if it’s a good-looking jacket, chances are it’s by Belstaff. Not that they limit themselves to only outerwear, as if you take a good look at 2007’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi film, I Am Legend, you’ll notice that the shoulder bag as sported by Will Smith’s Dr Robert Neville is by Belstaff. But we’re that one step ahead, as not only have we hunted down this must-have male accessory, we’ve also found some brilliant (and cheaper) lookalikes.

The Belstaff colonial shoulder bag comes in at a budget-busting £169, but its quality through and through, a bag that will really stand the test of time (or zombies). It’s made from heavyweight canvas, its corners reinforced for wear and tear and this robustness continues with the side pockets made from leather and with heavy belt fasteners. There are also two press-stud fastening pockets on the front and a leather internal one to keep all your knick-knacks safe. And if you want everyone to know you’ve splashed the cash on Belstaff, there’s the recognisable brand patch and logo.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to preserve your pennies, we have a paratrooper bag in a similar khaki shade for just over $20 from Amazon.com; a smarter, more formal looking waxed version in dark brown from UK department store John Lewis and one from cool surfwear brand, Animal. They each offer something a little bit different, but all riffing on the idea of the onscreen original – a practical must-have that also makes a stylish Christmas present.
