Gustin is a crowdfunded site that occasionally has Chromexcel and other amazing briefcases/bags for good prices - you just have to make sure enough people back it and wait for the shipment. I got mine for $250 and it took ~2 months to come in. It's amazing and will last forever. Filson is also a good brand if you're leaning more casual or walking a lot in weather with it.

I'm about to be 33. That's a nice bag, but it looks like it belongs to a white haired dude that's been practicing law for for 40 years. I'll say again though, it's a nice looking bag.

Who uses a briefcase anymore, especially in construction?
Are you aware that there is a significant portion of construction that occurs away from the actual job-site? For me, easily 85% of my time is in an office or someone else's office. This isn't an uncommon thing.

I think more than anything, my point is to get something multi-functional.
I use something like this, the brown one

Yeah, that's sharp. Pretty much what I'm gonna lead her to.
And I understand how dumb it is for me to pick out a present and basically do the legwork myself. Kinda defeats the purpose IMO. However, I appreciate the fact the she has finally recognized how poor she is at gift giving when it comes to me.

Agreed, better to help her get something you need.

Love that Chromexcel #8. Got a pic of your bag?

Keep your book sack for 3 more birthdays then spend $600 on this thing.

I don’t have a pic actually. It’s currently at work so maybe I’ll grab one tomorrow and post it.

Yeah, that's nice. Maybe I'll upgrade to that one day.

I've seen the BJ stuff before. Actually almost got a weekender style bag from there a couple years ago. Went the cheap route and got one off of amazon, though. They have some good looking stuff though for sure.

Samsonite Bag
This is the bag I have to carry my work laptop and some books. It has plenty of pockets for miscellaneous items including pens. The laptop portion of the bag has a Velcro strap that keeps it tight inside. I love it.

It's always funny to see someone bring in a bag like that and spend approx. 4 minutes trying to open it
