I've had this backpack for just over a year now. I use it about every day for work. One of the two top zipper's doesn't work and one of the teeth is crooked and jams the zipper from closing all the way. As others have said, the front pouches never stay closed so you need to be careful or things can fall out. I get lots of compliments on how attractive and masculine it is which it very much is. I would not buy it again because of the zippers. I don't know why they don't switch to a nylon type of zipper, these just aren't made to be opened and closed every day I guess. I read the reviews about the zippers before my purchase so I have been very careful to not try to jam or abuse the pack which is why it still looks like new after a year of use. Unfortunately, the zipper issue is not something that is tolerable. Also, I don't know why they couldn't use snaps or velcro to hold the pockets shut. The leather is a thick quality and otherwise wears well.
