If the world were yours this weekend, where would you go? Does it have to be in the US? I’ve been known to go to Hong Kong for the weekend, so that’d be my first pick. What’s your bag? The Arborist Weekend Bag from Hugo Boss. It has a padded laptop sleeve on the inside, along with a zipper pocket and other little pockets for phone/pens/etc., which many men’s weekenders don’t seem to have. Nice! So… What’s in it? You’d be amazed what I can fit in a weekender, but it’s all very utilitarian. No books, no papers, in fact nothing I can possibly get by without. Just some clothes I can wear anywhere and pack easily, some essential tech items, and paperwork – one American passport and one German.
