Suggestions on a brown leather briefcase/laptop bag?
Posted on 1/15/15 at 4:11 pm

For my upcoming birthday I am asking for a brown leather briefcase/laptop bag from the wife. Any suggestions? There are wayyy too many options on the internet to filter through.
Things it needs:
- Good laptop compartment as I carry it everywhere
- Shoulder strap
- Brown leather
- Not TOO casual looking
- Several other compartments
- Be long lasting/durable; I tend to beat these things up, which is one reason I’m going to leather
Any suggestions?

If price is not a huge concern, then Tumi is the answer.
Tumi ballistic nylon is what I have and it is super quality if you are worried about it getting beat up. Leather won't last as long and shows wear.

Saddleback thin front pocket briefcase is a good one for less than 500.
I have the full size Saddleback, but I'd probably go this route if buying today. No laptop compartment, but I use the Saddleback laptop sleeve and it's awesome. I alternate between a Filson and Saddleback.
It's pretty beat up at the moment but it cleans up nicely.
I've also got a Aston Leather bag that is less rugged.

I don't really want her to spend more than $400-500.

Thats fair, but I also just like the way brown leather looks.

Orvis is also has one made from bull hide. Kinda pricey - $400.00.

Due to my travels on business, I moved from the "brief case" style to a nice North Face Backpack designed for laptop and projector (and fits a bunch of papers/files as well). Much easier getting around airports with bags in your hands.
It may me too casual for your needs though.

I have a Saddleback. The small is plenty large enough. I don't carry folders, etc. Laptop, power supply, maybe dop kit and it's never been full.

I got a Claire Chase from some salesman chooch the morning after we whipped UGA in the SEC championship game in 2011. Leftover from a trade show that weekend. Pretty solid product and price is pretty reasonable. Cherry on top of a great weekend.

I currently have a Timbuk2 which is great but I really am liking that Saddleback now.

My current leather messenger bag is ripping and I need to replace it. I am trying to decide if I am going back to a leather messenger or just going to start using my backpack.
