First, the leather of the bag is very nice.  It's soft and supple.. like one would get in an expensive leather jacket.

And it appears to be nicely made.  The stitching is all accurate and solid.

The compartments are laid out nicely and make sense.  The smaller internal pockets and key attachment are also good.

The carry-strap is good quality with a choice of materials to have on your shoulder.

I have a 17.3 inch monitor on my laptop, and it fits - just barely.

Time will tell how this wears with transit and travel.  Now that I've purchased one, I notice other people's similar bags.  Some of them look pretty bad - all scratched and marred up.  The soft leather is really nice, but not good for standing up to travel wear and tear.  Now that I've purchased this really nice bag... I'm not sure I would again.  Maybe cordura is more appropriate for the product in general...  But I digress...

Overall, a well-made and well designed laptop bag with leather that will not disappoint.
