Pros:  Bag is well made and durable; casual and good for everyday use.  Leather needs to be aired out it, hopefully the unusual, new leather smell goes away in a couple of days; however it if does not then I will try to find something that's good for leather and takes away most of the smell.

Cons:  Shipping and packing for the bag it was awful.  The bag was folded in half and literally stuffed into a priority envelope - yes I said priority envelope, not box.  Packing may  not matter to some, but to others it may make a difference.

Even though the bag was, fortunately, received in good condition (I read another review that indicated otherwise), I would still recommend this backpack to others.  Hopefully the seller will ship and pack the item in the correct size mailer/box for future purchases.
