1) LL Bean, I like their "Custom Super Deluxe Book Pack": http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...ryId=43801&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&parentCategory=504479&feat=504479-tn&cat4=504478 ... though the truth of it is, I would probably go for all-black, so the customized aspect of it for me is largely pointless. Also, I don't like that they don't give you the option of changing the color of the LL Bean logo. And the 3-4 week delivery wait time doesn't please me...
On the other hand, in the OP, people made a point of LL Bean's warranty policy...
you might try calling LLBean directly. this summer there was a Super Deluxe Book Pack. when my son was picking custom colors i noticed they were very similar to the regular Super Deluxe. i asked him if he could save me a few bucks and order that one instead. of course, he then chose other colors...
i can vouch for the LLBean return policy. i had a backpack that was crumbling from the inside. even though it was five years old, i thought that was unreasonable. i called them and they easily said they'd replace it. i didn't even need the receipt - the item had their name on it and they wanted to make it right. at the time it was was their top of the line pack; they replaced it with the current top of the line pack.
