Hey, I'm looking for a
quality leather briefcase.
When I started working, I bought two cheapo leather briefcases from Wilsons's (yeah, "mall leather"). They looked good but they didn't hold up under heavy use. Yes, I have been taking care of my leather goods -- yearly applications of leather conditioner and stain blocker. They just didn't hold up.
So I want to replace them with something that will hold up -- i.e. something significantly better in the quality dept than what I have.
Here are my
style preferences (keep in mind that I will not buy Kenneth Cole, they are anti-gun!):
1.
Single lock2.
Double lock(I like how the straps have rubber non-slip grip material on the shoulder pad. Nothing annoys me more than having the damn shoulder strap slip off my jacket while I'm walking around).
I have looked at Coach and Brooks Brothers. Neither have anything I like.
An option might be this style, but it is in third place in my mind:
3.
Executive Case or
3.
Vanson Executive Case. I kinda like this one because I know Vanson makes great quality stuff (I have 2 of their jackets) and it is made in the USA to boot. I'm just not crazy about the style.
Any recommendations for a quality leather briefcase, fitting the above styles, would be greatly appreciated. Price is flexible but I'd like to keep it under $500.
Thanks.
