I'm looking for a new bag to replace my old Jansport that is falling apart

I've looked at many brands and bags; it's kind of dumb. But I've narrowed it down to Green Room 136, Chrome, and Topo. Still, I'm very indecisive and want to see if there are other good options for my needs as a full-time cook and culinary student. I carry heavy tools, knives, shoes, a notebook, a laptop, an apron, a chef coat, etc., around everywhere. Does anyone have any advice? I prefer messengers, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Utg Mk1S Heritage: Haywood.

This UTG Heritage backpack is built on our UTG DP Mk1 Slim platform using two original U.S. Army duffel bags—one manufactured in 1944 and the other in 1952.

The 1952 duffel is still stenciled with the name Haywood G. Ingle and service number 24984162. After researching military records, we believe it may have belonged to Haywood Graham Ingle, a North Carolina veteran who likely served during the Korean War era, although we're still looking for documentation that conclusively confirms the identification.

One of our goals with these builds is to preserve the history of these surplus bags rather than erase it. We leave the original names, markings, repairs, and character intact whenever possible, giving each backpack a documented story that continues with its next owner.

If anyone has experience researching 1950s Army service numbers or knows additional resources beyond NPRC and Fold3, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

$10 pick-ups from Savers

Nothing super impressive, but for $10 each I’ll take it! Would either of these qualify for the pageant? I didn’t keep the receipts unfortunately. Savers doesn’t do returns and I just tossed them on my way out.
