I need a sturdy yet reasonably priced Archaeological field bag?

I have had multiple backpacks since my first field school but it always seems that my trowels cut right through them. I know they make leather sheaths for them but, I know me and I doubt I would actually use them. So do you know of a good sturdy bag that would be great for field work? Thanks :)

Answer
Duluth Trading Company makes some nice canvas, waxed cotton and leather shoulder bags and totes that are reasonably priced and well made. (don't confuse them with Duluth Pack, which is a different company that also makes wonderful canvas bags but they cost an arm and a leg).

I like the reddish one in the upper right on this page:

I got my first field bags for geology and archaeology field camp from Army surplus stores. If you can find the REAL military surplus bags, especially the ones from NATO or German army stock, they are heavier and better made than the "Made in China" reproduction junk that a lot of supposed "surplus" stores have.

L.L. Bean has some canvas messenger bags that are fairly reasonable too.

By the way, Duluth Trading also makes excellent women's clothing for wearing on field sites including their "firehose canvas" strech cargo pants, vests and shorts and their long sleeved work shirts with the bi-swing back and long tails. Their tee shirts also hold up extremely well and have extra long tails so your butt isn't hanging out when you are crouched over peeling back your excavation unit with a teaspoon and toothbrush. They have great sun hats too, and miscellaneous gee-gaws that come in handy in field camps. The clothes are a little pricey but well worth it. They look great and wear like iron. Watch for clearance sales -- they practically give stuff away sometimes when they change designs and mark down the old stock.

Tip on trowel storage: hardware and building supply and paint stores sell plastic half moon shaped small paint cups with a handle that you can put about a pint of paint in and carry around or even hang on a ladder while painting trim. If you stash one of these in your field bag you can drop your trowels in, tips down, and they won't wear through the material or get mud all over the inside of the bag. I shove my work gloves in the plastic container too, to keep the trowels from shifting around and rattling. You can make a similar pocket holder for them by slicing the top off a cheap plastic flat canteen or flattened shape water bottle (there is a bottled water brand called "Fred" that makes the perfect shape for this, looks like a soft clear plastic gin flask.) http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.somethingtocroweabout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/fred-water.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.somethingtocroweabout.com/2012/09/25/meet-fred-bottled-water-with-a-personality/&h=775&w=600&sz=53&tbnid=3dNOtMotSN8QlM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=70&zoom=1&usg=__xjnc_4fJIDnLms96th6lnExA5m4=&docid=y4Xi2aqhz_hNBM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rtZlUcjBOfHE4APzuYGACg&ved=0CHcQ9QEwCA&dur=453
