A perfect Messenger ...
I am so excited about ... new messenger ... light weight but quite durable and has all the right pockets to make it stylish and quite functional. There are so many messenger bags to choose from and this one comes in several colors but the blue one works with every coat and jacket I own. Find the color that works best for you and get ready for the compliments.

Disappointing ...
The reviews of this ... have been overwhelmingly positive, so I was somewhat surprised when the actual item arrived, and failed to live up to my expectations. My standards were based on a similar BR messenger ... had dutifully served my needs for over 5 years. The strap on that ... finally broke, and I was thus compelled to get the latest version. I would return this item if the previous ... still functional. The styling on this model is very nice, and I appreciate some of the subtle details, such the magnetic fastener snaps, and the external industrial stitching. Otherwise, this item isn't much use to a man on the go, it's function being essentially that of a tote ... not a genuine messenger ... Unlike my previous ... there are no slots for pens, and the front zipper pocket has less than half of the carrying capacity. The interior is also less roomy, and if you plan on cramming your laptop in here with more than one standard sized book, you will be obliged to get creative with the placement. Another problem is that the compartments are not positioned in such a way so as to provide comfortable positioning for things like digital cameras, chargers, or other electronic accessories that one is likely to carry in this ... prepared for a lot of bulging. There is also an annoying metal logo plate with two small screws, positioned on the inside of the ... scratch your laptop exterior is you don't position something in between. Really a pointless inclusion. The previous ... used a simple printed tag. The construction and the quality of the materials is also compromised in comparison with the previous ... strap is made of a weaker weave material, and I doubt that this will last me the 5 years that my previous strap endured. The synthetic canvas of the ... itself is also thinner, and however attractive the external stitching may appear, it is more likely to catch and fray, eventually undoing the seams. To my fault, I should have examined the ... store, or spent the extra money and purchased the leather version. Nevertheless, I was basing my expectation on my previous BR messenger ... one falls very short of that product. BR 's previously high standards have been slowly eroding the past few years, in my humble opinion, and this ... indicative of a general decline in quality.

Luxe weekender ...
This is a great ... weekend trip. It fits all of my essentials -- extra clothes, running shoes, cosmetic case, book, etc -- comfortably, and is structured enough to keep my things from getting all jumbled together like some bags do. I have gotten tons of compliments on this ... people seem to think it looks more expensive than it is. The handle drop is great for carrying in the crook of your arm or holding in your hand, and the shoulder strap is sturdy and comfortable. Would undoubtedly work as a men's ... but I bought it for myself and think it works well for women too.

Great Weekender
Simply, I searched for a weekend travel ... feel funny rolling wheels through airports. I wanted something that says, "hey guys...our time is now". Yes, the ... versatile, roomy, and convenient. I have not one complaint. I have several bags but I like its durability and don't miss many of the others. Don't delay GENTS when you see this...it is a necessity!

Great Weekender ...
Excellent quality, thick handles, and plenty of room inside. Hardware is top notch and the value is great if you can take advantage of the 30% off going on tonight. Many weekender bags are built with 1 exterior pocket and 1 interior, while this one helps organization with 2 exterior pockets and 3 interior. This way my smaller items are far easier to find and access. Only improvement I would suggest is a leather strap to complement the leather trim. The nylon/cloth strap that comes with the ... both feels cheap and looks like an afterthought.

Great ... so far
As mentioned, this is a great looking ... - resembles a messenger ... but can expand a bit wider and has a handle on it if you prefer/need to carry it that way. I've taken it on one business trip so far and it held up very well even packed full of my laptop, folders, etc.. I'm a little wary of encountering the pin problem described by another reviewer - fingers crossed. I haven't had that problem yet. The only small problem I've noticed is the latches on the shoulder strap are a bit loose - they tend to get caught on the leather and are suprisingly difficult to free. Not a major issue but something Q/C may want to look at for future versions. Overall, looks great, feels high quality, and worth the cost so far, especially if you can get the price knocked down a bit.

the ... I''ve been looking for
I have a versatile job, meeting with people of all ages and places, from casual atmospheres to formal meetings. Seriously I can't say enough about how I love this ... 2 reasons. First of all, the styling is such a great blend of all things. It's a ... feel like you can be taken seriously in times when it's needed, and yet somehow casual enough to fit in any room w/out feeling like a stodgy briefcase. I have one in black and I feel like this ... classic for many years to come. Second, the utility is amazing because it's simple, yet exactly what you need. I've had bags with so many compartments that you can't remember where you put things, and some with so little that the ... really useless. Some bags go overboard on trying to be too simple, and miss the point that you need certain features in the real world, like certain spaces and pockets. The other awesome feature is the outside zipper to the laptop area on the ... BR doesn't do justice to the ... their web site w/ their pictures, because you can't really see it. But if you are looking for a ... just the right amount of everything w/out too much, this is your ... After years of searching, I've found my favorite ... all time. Well done BR!

Great ...
I love this ... use it for school and travel...I love all of the interior pockets great for putting my wallet, pens,keys, chargers all in their own special place. My favorite compartment is probably the one in the back it's a prefect fit for my laptop, leaving the main compartment for text books and such. I see a few complaints about the strap not being constructed of leather, one benefit of this is that leather stretches out with a lot of applied weight, I've had many bags straps snap on me....this nylon strap is perfect. This ... just a really great versatile ...

Great ... me
This ... has a few idiosyncrasies that can be taken as positives or negatives depending on how it's used on a daily basis. For me, it's been great. I bought it because I liked the color. It was the only "reasonably" priced brown leather messenger ... could find that didn't use yellowed brass for the metal attachments. I also like the shoulder pad and the removable strap. The messenger flap closes securely and I've gotten used to the computer compartment being on the back of the ... Another nice touch is that, even though it's fairly compact, it holds a 17" laptop (which is about 15.5" wide). The top handle is a nice touch - one that many similar bags don't have. My only criticisms are the bottom of the ... could use a little more padding and the adjustment bar on the strap prevents one from using the shoulder pad if the strap is shortened too much. I'm 5' 10", so the ... hangs about right. But, if I were shorter, this would be annoying.

2 defective bags in a row
This ... gorgeous. Been looking for the perfect work ... years and thought I had finally found it. There are these little buckle things that hold the ... shut. There are pins that keep the buckle in place. Literally after the first day with my ... one of the pins vanished, so one of the buckles was essentially broken. I was looking at the other buckle to see how it worked, and as I was looking at it another pin came out. Defective ... so I exchanged it for another ... 2nd ... lasted 4 days before one of the pins vanished. There is a design flaw with these bags that is unfortunate. I tried 2 of them and with VERY light use they both broke.

Bought it in Milan.... it doesn''t have the keys to lock it....
Discover the missing keys once at home, i phoned the shop. The people in the store told me that all the bags are without the keys so the locks are there "just to the purpose of fashion". for [$]? Unbelievable....
