> 3 dayQUALITY: The canvas material is nice and thick and feels very durable to the touch. The leather also feels high quality. Overall Im very impressed. It has a good weight to it too. When you pick it up it has some heft and feels sturdy without being bulky. CONCERNS: Im a tad worried that the zipper wont hold out, as Ive seen several reviews that say their zipper broke. It doesnt feel incredibly robust, so I find myself being a little gentle when opening and closing the bag. SIZE: Its a very generously sized bag. Its a bit bigger than I was imagining in my head, but it will be good for longer trips. It may be a too large for a weekend, unless of course you like to carry a lot of stuff, and its certainly too big for an overnight trip. I dont see this being an under-the-seat bag on a plane without having absolutely no leg room. You certainly wouldnt get away with carrying it on as a free of charge personal item. Its way too big for that.

> 3 dayHaving just received this item... its really a nice looking, sturdy bag. Ive now got tons of stuff in it with room left over. Its a definite handsome army green. I really like the way I can un-hook the long strap if I want, and the handles are very handy. Yeah...handy handles. ha I wouldnt hesitate at all to buy this bag. Just do it and dont look back. I do think the packaging was a little over-done because really, its not breakable, but... I did finally get it out of the bag it was in. This is a purchase I will not regret. Thanks to the maker.

Greater than one weekThis bag appears to be very durable, but it doesnt seem quite as sleek or practical as Id thought from the description and some of the other reviews. First things first. The bag looks like it will last. My previous bag failed in two ways: the zipper jammed and started to tear away from the rest of the bag, and the piece of plastic and cloth attaching the handles and straps to the bag came apart. This bag looks much better than the other one. I think zippers will always be prone to jamming, but these zippers are nice and big, with metal teeth. The zipper for the main compartment also looks like its attachment to the bag is reinforced. So overall, the zippers look much better. Likewise, the straps and handles are attached to the bag itself not only with rugged-looking stitching, but also with rivets (?) that are probably stronger than the fabric itself. Im expecting this bag to last a long time. If you want to know how it actually stands up, you can ask me in three to five years. Another, more minor detail: the bag has what look like brass feet. (I hope theyre brass, and not copper like the description says, so that they dont turn green.) My old bag had rubber feet, half of which disappeared after a few years of fairly heavy use. This was a minor irritation at worst, but it looks like the new bag will do better. The feet are rounded, so it doesnt seem like theyd catch on anything. The one drawback I can think of is that if you were to drag this through gravel or something, maybe the feet could get scratched and end up with rough edges that could damage a wooden floor or surface. At the moment, though, they seem great. However, the bag is not everything I hoped it would be from the description. Its kind of hard to see from the photos in the description, but there are four loose leather straps hanging off of the bag. They appear to serve no real purpose, and theyre just waiting to get caught in a conveyor belt at the airport, or a car door, or another bags zipper, or . . . you get the idea. I guess you can cinch the buckles to make the bag slightly smaller (and more wrinkly), but for the most part, this seems like something that appears to be functional at first glance but actually serves no practical purpose, and I always find that irritating, to be honest. Its a fairly small detail, but Im planning to use this bag on a daily basis for several years, and details matter when somethings part of your daily life for a long time. And of course the bag has straps and handles that are also waiting to get caught in something, but why add four extra opportunities for this to happen? To be blunt, the bag is also uglier than it appears to be in most of the photos. Maybe it looks better when its really full, but the way Im using it, its wrinkly and floppy. I also think they put too many small pockets in. There are two pretty nice-looking zippers on the outside, but they lead to really small pockets. Another reviewer mentioned putting books in them, but theyre really too small for all but the smallest and slimmest of books. There are two zippered pockets on the inside that together form the sides of an open pocket (yes, its confusing), and two more oddly sized open pockets. Those open pockets on the inside are a little puzzling to me. Unless you have the bag crammed full, it seems like theyd be too loose for a pencil or loose change, and they seem too small for a book or a computers charger cable. Maybe theyre for your extra cell phones, if youre Walter White or something. Id prefer to have one or two simple internal pockets with zippers, and maybe a slightly larger external pocket for a water bottle. The way it is, though, all those medium-small pockets just add bulk for me: seemingly another design decision that looks good superficially, but doesnt actually make the bag better. On a positive note, the weird feature where you clip the bottom of the bag to the D-rings that the strap attaches to does seem well thought out. At first I was worried that this turns the D-rings sideways, which normally causes them to put a lot of concentrated strain on the sleeve containing them. However, in this case, it seems that theyre mainly transferring the strain from the clips on the bottom of the bag to the clips at the end of the strap, without putting significant strain on the leather sleeves holding D-rings in place. Let me return to the overall look of the bag, though. You could argue that the appearance isnt important, or that I should have paid more attention to the words casual life style in the description. However, the description also currently suggests that the bag is suitable for short business travel, and this bag would look ridiculous in a business setting. It would be completely out of place in a formal job interview or in court. If youre going on a personal trip with family or friends, it doesnt matter what your bag looks like, but unfortunately there are times when appearances make a difference. I was a little worried that four stars was too harsh for this bag, since it does appear to be very durable (time will tell) and well thought out in many ways, and the price is very competitive. However, I think that both the written description and the posted photos are slightly misleading (its not as pretty as in the pictures, and not really suitable for business use), and within hours of receiving it, I can already think of a few fairly obvious ways to make the bag better without increasing production costs (remove the pointless dangling leather straps and get rid of some of baroque system of pockets, and maybe make the bag a little stiffer). Although I expect to get a lot of good use from this bag, I dont think Ill buy another one when the time comes for a replacement. So four stars it is.

> 3 dayMy son paid a lot more money for a bag this one replaced. The faux leather handles were deteriorating, so I decided to get a new one for him. He loved it. Ill try to remember to update my review in a year or so. He travels a bit...lets see if it stands up to the stresses of travel!

> 3 dayThis is the travel nicest bag I’ve ever owned. I’m not one who thinks price implies quality. I believed expense implies a brand. With that said, I want quality and a great price. This bag exceeded my expectations right out of the box. It’s well built. The thick material gives me assurance that my belongings will not be falling out of the bottom. While that sounds like I’m trying to make someone laugh, it’s happened to me. The leather straps are the kicker for me. I already ordered a second for my son. Buy this bag. You won’t be disappointed. Cheers, everyone.
