Sorry, but that's no messenger bag.
I have one of these in medium. very nice and sturdy bag
If we're talking traditional messenger bags no one beats Timbuk2. I have two bags (one as my run-around and one with a laptop compartment) and people always comment on how nice they are. Granted, they run more than the standard nylon or plastic bag, but what you get for that is a really well-made bag with a lifetime warranty. Seriously, how many companies have lifetime warranties anymore? Leatherman... Some RAM manufacturers... Yep, that sounds about it.

Chrome bags are very nice. The founders of Chrome (no longer with Chrome) started another company called Mission Workshop.
I have many bags by Timbuk2. They make very nice gear. After trying many bags from countless different manufacturers, however, I have to say that Mission Workshop's messenger bags are by far my favorites, definitely in terms of build quality and design (I love the utility of the roll-top design), and just as much in terms of comfort while worn. I have their big Vandal backpack, and their classic line of messengers in all three sizes (Monty, Rummy and The Shed).
And, today, I received an email notifying me of this new model by them, called the AP (Advanced Projects) VX Messenger:

I couldn't resist, and just put my pre-order in for this one (in medium).
