Outdoor-themed Veblen goods are the new hotness for certain segments of the upper middle class. Yesterday I saw a guy with a haulbag... themed?... backpack that had a laptop sleeve and couldn't help but giggle. Remote work is great but taking a conference call from Big Sandy seems a bit silly, lol.
(At least it's only $99 which actually isn't bad at all for a quality backpack, but still.)
