Whilst your brief said "not the hard plastic type" I can't recommend this enough...
Mine is positively cavernous, and whilst very scratched from numerous trips all over the place it's still going strong after 2 years."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

In this vein I'm after a carry on bag, not plastic and not with wheels (if you can't carry it you shouldn't be taking it). Any recommendations?B00med!Comment

I've no problem with a proper suitcase having wheels... it's just all the nancys with their carry on luggage who insist on needing wheels to get down the airbridge, then decide they'll attempt to wheel it down the aisle, bashing everything and everyone in their way.
Carry on luggage should be exactly that; you carry it on. Also the wheels/cheap extending handle take up a large percentage of useful space of a carry on bag.B00med!Comment

I know you don't want plastic but I'm another vote for the Samsonite hardsite ones. I've had one since 2000 and it's gotten a lot of beating on the large number of long-haul flights it's been on.
However, I suppose I should replace it for long-haul because the locks/catches are abit troublesome these days and will cause problems at bag searches etc. It's fine for domestic so I wont chuck it.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
