re: Attn: Attorneys & Businessmen; Briefcase Selection

My experiences:
I rotate between three bags, a Hartmann that is just ballistic nylon and leather, a Filson and a Saddleback. I also have an Aston leather bag I never use (but it's fine). It's probably ridiculous to have 3 laptop/briefcases, but I really do or have gotten a lot of use out of each.
Hartmann: Probably the most utilitarian. Had it 8 months, use it for work and travel, has gone on international trips, looks the exact same as new. It's the most boring but the most easy to use.
Saddleback: Probably the coolest of the 3, but it's large and the lack of zippers makes it kind of annoying. Definitely gets the most compliments, and will obviously last forever. I probably haven't used it in six months.
Filson: It's a good size, it looks good, but other than looks the Hartmann does everything better. I still use it a fair amount, but it's designed more for aesthetics and durability than practicality.
I assume Tumi makes really useful and durable bags, but I think they generally look like shite. I came close to buying one once, and still may try one eventually, but they just look too "traveling salesman/IT guy" IMO.

All of the leather briefcases are nice and all, but in all seriousness, of this is a need, match it to what you are doing.
I have a Saddleback that works great for moving between home and office. It SUCKS for travel. If you are going to travel by plane with any regularity get one where it's TSA approved so that you do not have to take laptop out at every check in. It's a big deal when you have to do it 8-10 times per month or more.

I could see using a briefcase if you are going to court on multiple files/clients with little paper (low-grade criminal docket).
There is no way a briefcase is going to hold the massive file I have to lug in with me when I go.

And this. You'll want a briefcase and a trial bag. Separate things.

Yeah, I have a rolling bag I use for major appearances/trial but it sits at the office 98% of the time. For normal hearings and stuff I usually just have a briefcase. But I'm a pretty low volume litigator.
