I have been using it 5 days a week for over a year and a half now. I am nowhere near easy on it. I carry it by one strap a lot and always with a lot of weight in it. It did have one snap on the side stop working in the first couple months and Im sure they would have fixed it but I didnt care. I usually just stick my gun holster in that pocket with the small strap tucked in. I expect it to last for years and will think it well worth paying for a repair if it is ever needed.

I received my bag today and I am already impressed with it. The leather looks and feels great. I was able to load everything I need and want to carry on a daily basis and still have plenty of room for extras. All the compartments in the front of the bag not only look good but are also are highly functional. The inside compartment is well laid out and makes finding something easy and quick. Granted that a regular water bottle will not fit on the side pockets but that is not a big deal at all for me. If you are looking for a pack pack that you can dress up or down for work or personal use look no further this is the bag for you.

It’s been a long time since I bought a product and absolutely fell in love with it. I chose this backpack for practical reasons. All the reviews that gave it thumbs up were straight on. But the artist in me loves the beauty, touch and quality of the leather; the roominess inside and numerous pockets for organizing small items. Love love love this!

I love the backpack. Looks great. lots of compliments. Used it for a year (Dec 2017) then large top zipper started to fail. Back pack is now useless. I’m taking to my local tailor to replace the zipper. Can’t wait to get it back & use again!

The back pack is great. Has lots of pockets and keeps everything organized. Its pretty comfortable to wear and it looks great. Definitely worth it.

This is an excellent bag. My previous bag was a black nylon messenger bag, but after it started to get worn out I decided to purchase this. My thoughts are thus: Pros: - This is real leather. Real, real leather. As soon as you open and smell that real leather smell, you will know this to be true. You will feel it, just to be sure, and it will feel wonderful. Then you will know that this is not only real leather, its the good real leather. Its that kind that says Hello life. You dont look so tough, and yet somehow still feels soft because its so smooth. - It fits everything. On paper, this is the same size as my old bag, yet somehow it both looks smaller and has more space. I took everything out of my old bag, and put it in this bag, plus an umbrella, and I still have an empty pocket or two. Also, everything is easy to get to. Whenever I sit down to do something, I can get out everything I need with one, maybe two, zipper pulls. My old bag took at least three. - It looks amazing. Nothing looks good in brown except leather. This thing makes you look like a professional whatever-you-are who knows exactly what theyre doing, and looks good doing it. Youre someone who eats some difficult thing for breakfast. - Every detail is taken care of. This bag feels like someone made a bag, nitpicked everything that was wrong with it, made a new bag, nitpicked everything that was wrong with that, and made a new bag, over and over, until it became perfection. Im saying: The stitching is done right. The construction is solid. The straps can actually be adjusted while wearing it (why cant other bags do that?). The zipper pull tabs wont jingle against each other as you walk (looking at you, black messenger bag; that sound is so undignified). Everything about this bag says that someone cared about it and did everything right. Cons: - Your friends wont know what to get you for your birthday, because all of your problems in life will suddenly be solved. Also, theyll want to buy their own, but wont just to avoid copying you, which will make them even more jealous and mad. - If you own a leather jacket, you wont be able to wear it the same time as this bag without looking like a jerk. - When you die, the bag will still be in great shape and your ghost will be like Shoot. I wish I could use that bag. - You will become disappointed by every other bag you see, and start judging people for not making as good a bag choice as you did. - The bag will look so good that you will feel that everyone should compliment you on it, causing you to hate everyone who doesnt. - You will hate yourself for not buying it sooner. If you have the money, as well as self respect and an appreciation for quality products, then buy this bag and love it.

Bought this for my son for Christmas, he loved it.

I was a little hesitant to buy a leather bag online, but I was pleasantly surprised with this bag when it arrived. For this price point, its a pretty good value. I inspected it thoroughly inside and out - the leather, the stitching, the lining, pockets, zippers, snaps and straps all seem to be executed pretty well. Its a rugged/matte type finish that I wanted. It has a good tactile feel and I anticipate the leather should get even softer with extended use. The only real negative I have to say so far is that it had a very pronounced smell of the tanning products/chemicals when i first took it out of the packaging. That smell has greatly reduced; however, after letting it air out. I also used a natural leather cleaner and conditioner and that really helped as well. I am taking this bag on a trip to Europe later this month so Im anxious to see how it holds up.

Bought it as a birthday present for my husband. He loves this bag for work.

I was looking at Tumi bags and saw this on the Web Site. This is a well made back pack and handsome enough for professionals. Great space for a 16 inch laptop, iPad, and daytime. The price point is crazy low for the quality. One third the cost of the fabric Tumi.
