I have and love that bag as well. Laptop sleeve included. Like the OP here, I have another small bag that fits inside the Farpoint when not in use. It's a REI 18(I think?) liter bag - really lightweight, big enough to carry the laptop and day use items while leaving the big bag in the hotel room, or optionally keeping handy on the plane with food or something. Ultimately, the clothing really dwarfs everything else. This is much easier to pull off if you have a casual style (like the OP) and don't mind having, essentially, a "uniform" where you can just throw on any old bottom and top and go.

For clothing, we've both invested in some decent travel items. Wool underwear, socks, and Ts. Travel pants that dress up ok (Lulu Lemon has some nice men's pants), maybe some hiking pants. And a button up shirt or two. Add a windbreaker, brown loafers that are comfy enough to walk around town, and either sneakers, hiking shoes, or sandals depending on itinerary. The key is a willingness to wash items while traveling. I usually only bring 3-4 pairs underwear/socks, and wash mid-week in the sink. Light wool air dries reasonably fast and doesn't hold odor as much as synthetics. The only times I struggle to pack everything is trips where we're planning sports. Backpacking, cycling, etc mean more gear - tents, sleeping bags; shoes, helmets, spandex, pedals (usually rent the bikes).
