I have a bunch of briefcases for various projects. One Swiss Army monster with rollers is used when I have to move a small living room. There are several black expandable ones that have no personality and one silver metal case that could be from a spy movie. All are quite functional.
But not one is loved.
I've been searching for a nice briefcase - probably more of a Gladstone bag - with a style that inspires true affection. It will have to be sturdy and manly and made of the sort of rugged leather that I will enjoy marring over the years. The inside must be cavernous and capable of carrying several large books and an iguana. No wheels, gadgets or gizmos. This one should shout "Tradition!"
My search continues. If you know of a briefcase for which you can personally vouch, please let me know.
Check out the Tusting Clipper at Levenger. My wife got me one several years ago. Cavernous interior which will fit a legal-sized folio plus a whole lot more. Two large front saddlebags. Very sturdy and only looks better as it gets beat up.
ReplyDeleteYou have one choice, really, and that is Saddleback Leather. Not cheap, but these are, by large measure, the best bags in the business.

Kurt and The Judge,
ReplyDeleteThose look great!
We are on the same wavelength.
Thanks!
