First of all, let me say this is the nicest piece of luggage I have ever seen!  I am a doctor so I do carry some books, journals, and a laptop around with me, so I was looking around for a professional looking bag for work and travel. I have always loved "real leather" bags, coming from Montana I know what real leather is supposed to look and feel like.

At any rate, I found this company and fell in love. You should know that a sturdy piece of leather is an animal's hide and should have some heft to it. Well tanned leather should not have the edges turned over, painted, or covered in any manner. It is a labor of love to deplete a piece of leather from its natural oils and to impregnate it with the oils and dyes for long enough to permeate the hide through the entire piece. This is how the good pieces of leather are able to have that rustic look when they are 50 years old and some little old lady beats you unconscious with her parasol to get it from you in the antique store.

When you get this, expect a heavy over engineered bag. The buckles are solid brass, this thing was meant to be abused and passed on to your grandchildren. The company even gives a 100 year warantee.  If you want a Froo-froo bag, go to coach. If. You want a bag that you can put you life in while being shot at as you are being chased through the jungles by Amazons and they are blaring Indiana Jones music as you leap into the river.... Well, this might be the bag for you.

It is beautiful and it is everything you would want if you are looking for a truly manly bag. Everyone will notice. The only thing is you have to know is it is large. The mediums is 15x9x11 inches and very bit as large as my carry-on I use for short trips. The days of doctors carrying boat anchors to work are over, thank God. The size of the bag would have been nice to know ahead of time and I can now vouche for the nicest bunch of Texans for customer service that I could possibly imagine. Unfortunately, I had to return my bag and get the smaller briefcase from the same company and it fits all my gear perfectly.  Get something from these guys, you can't go wrong.
