> 3 dayIt is a good quality, well made, durable travelling bag. Looks like it will last a long time. Bough it for a weekend get away. It is made from leather so it has some weight. All over happy with my purchase. Can’t wait to use it.

> 3 dayFirst & Lasting impression: This is a great bag and fantastic value for the price. I would recommend to friends/family, purchase as a gift, or even buy the largest one if I needed something bigger. I anticipate this will last a long time. I look forward to this bag aging, the leather should break in well and develop a nice, ‘used-leather’-look. Selected after a long search to replace 25-year-old, well-traveled (thoroughly worn out), similar-sized/styled bag. Arrived sealed in a well-taped plastic bag and within a cotton draw-string bag; nice first impression. Manufacturers card with warranty info inside the bag with the shoulder strap. The YKK zippers are large, and durable so far. (Another review recommended rubbing zipper with wax to help the new zipper slide easier while breaking in.) The shoulder strap fits and carries well, and the clasps appear to be heavy-duty. The color and style of the selected zippers, snaps, strap-clasps, and the five metal ‘feet’ on the bottom match the style of the bag nicely. Volume is great, in fact I returned the 26” for the 23”, since the smaller bag holds enough for several days and the larger bag just too big for my needs. (Each are a generous 23” and 26” in length, measured.) Perfect as a weekend, 2-3 night bag. Inside the main compartment there is an additional, long, zippered pocket on the rear wall (large enough for a book or small tablet) and two open pouch-pockets on the front wall (not listed in the description but shown in the photo). The leather is thick, strong, flexible, uniform and without blemishes, and holds the shape of the bag when empty. If weight is a factor, good to know in advance that the 23” bag weighs 6 pounds when empty. Only Fault to be aware of: When new, the brown dye can rub off. The dye did transfer onto lighter-colored slacks during the first trip. Fortunately, the dye washed out of the slacks after pre-treating and laundering. The dye should become stable and no longer rub off the bag after time, stabilizing as the bag is exposed to air and sun. (Possibly treat with leather conditioner?) I believe this to be a short-term issue; the dye rubbing off. This should stop when the bag is no longer new. (I presume the cotton, draw-string bag it arrived in was selected to help mitigate the dye while the bag was shipping.) A note included on the manufacturers card inside the bag when shipped giving the Customer a ‘heads-up’ about the new dye would be helpful to alleviate new owner concerns. Recommendation to manufacturer: Consider making one of the end pockets with a large, internal nylon pocket that extends into the main compartment. This could be used to separate a pair of shoes or soiled laundry from clothes in the main compartment. The large, external pocket at the front of the bag would benefit from several, internal pockets or pouches to hold pens/pencils, business cards, cell phone & accessories, and other smaller items. Leather handles on either end of the bag (below where the shoulder strap connects) would be an extra advantage. I have owned this bag for several months with a couple of trips under its belt, prior to writing this review. It does fit under airplane seat if not stuffed to capacity and easily fits in overhead compartment. It looks great and is very functional! I highly recommend this bag if the size and style meet your requirements.
