"To say my husband is a road warrior would be to put it mildly. He travels every week at least 3 days a week. Because he is such a serious traveller, I never dare to buy him suitcases or bags. He's very particularly about what he uses and his gear is ultra functional.However, when I saw this bag, I just thought, "Wow, that is perfect for him." The size of the bag, the quality, the number and placement of the pockets. It just looked so usable and so easy to carry around.The bag is not too big but could hold a couple of days clothes easily.One of the reviews of this bag was very negative, and I was nervous about ordering this from Red Envelope because even though I have had amazing experience with them for other gifts (I ordered all the wedding party gifts for my wedding from them), I just wasn't sure about buying leather goods - and such expensive ones - from a gift company. But no other company had a bag exactly like this one.Today it arrived in the mail and I was just so happy with the quality. It is exactly as pictured. This is a little unstructured, which is what I wanted. It doesn't hold the shape stiff with nothing inside, but it doesn't just flop over either. The leather is about twice the thickness of glove leather.From the picture, I couldn't tell exactly how the front pockets work. The front pockets don't snap, the tabs feed through the metal bracket and then you press the hole in the tab over a brad in the pocket. The side pockets, however, have a big, sturdy snap. We'll see how this plays out for travel, but it seems like it's a smart design so someone could reach down and easily get into the front pockets.I'm still waiting to see how my husband reacts when he gets it but I had to post a review right away because if anyone is hesitating because of the one negative review, don't. It's just like the picture and really good quality."
