Key features

• Uncorrected full-grain buffalo leather means natural markings and a patina that develops over time
• Room for laptops up to 17 inches is rarer than you'd think in leather briefcases
• A padded laptop compartment protects the expensive thing inside
• Plenty of internal pockets for phone, cards and pens keep the essentials findable
• Handmade construction with quality zippers suggests it's built for daily use

Best for

Anyone with a larger laptop who wants a rugged, character-rich bag that suits both office and travel, for men or women.

Things to consider

• Natural variations mean your bag won't match the photos exactly; skip it if you want a uniform look
• It's a big bag, which is overkill if you carry a small laptop
• Rugged buffalo leather has a more casual, textured feel than sleek dress leather

Verdict

Recommended for big-laptop carriers who love leather that ages visibly. Consider instead: the Time Resistance briefcase if you want something sleeker for a 15-inch laptop.
