Frequently Asked Questions

Do the bottle pockets take a 1.18L tumbler?

Yes. The pockets were sized from the drinkware in this range, and the largest tumbler was the starting point rather than an afterthought.

Stanley 1913 Bags & Everyday Carry

Vacuum insulation is what Stanley 1913 is known for, and it produces one firm opinion about bags: the pocket has to fit the bottle. Most bags are designed around a phone and a thin sports bottle. Put a full-size tumbler in one and it either will not go in or will not stay in.

Every Stanley 1913 bag starts from the opposite end, from what people are already carrying.

Find the Right Bag

Heavy loads, or cycling

Two straps, weight across both shoulders, and a padded back panel that still sits correctly when the bag is packed. That is a backpack.

A light load you need to reach quickly

Stands upright on its own, wide open at the top, reinforced where the handles meet the body. That is a tote bag.

Hands free, carrying almost nothing

Worn across the body. Room for a phone, keys and one bottle, and nothing else, which is the whole idea. That is a crossbody bag.

Food and drink that must stay cold

Insulated instead of compartmented, for a picnic rather than a working day. That is a cool bag.

Room for a Full-Size Bottle

The side pockets on a Stanley 1913 bag are dimensioned from our own drinkware rather than from an average.

A 1.18L tumbler drops straight in, stays vertical, and does not pull the pocket out of shape or lean out when you turn a corner. Anyone who has tried to fit a big tumbler into a pocket intended for a thin sports bottle already knows why that is worth designing for.

Lunch Bags

Insulated, soft-sided, and shaped so a food container stays flat instead of turning over. Big enough for a full meal, not just a sandwich. The rigid alternative is under lunch boxes.

Bags for Work

A work bag is filled every morning and emptied every evening, for years at a time.

So judge it on year three rather than month one. Does the zip still run smoothly? Does the base still sit flat when you put the bag down? Those two questions decide whether a bag was worth buying, and they are decided by the zip, the seam where the strap meets the body, and the base. All three are reinforced.

Built for Life, Built to Last

One bag that survives a decade costs less than four that do not, and it is considerably less irritating.

Steel taught Stanley 1913 the principle. Build the part that carries the load properly and everything attached to it lasts longer. Fabric behaves the same way.

There is something to fill that pocket in water bottles and tumblers, and somewhere to put lunch in insulated food containers. The whole range is in the Full Collection.
