Indestructible, well designed, perfect,
September 20, 2012
By: Adams85
from Memphis, TN
"I've gone through around 2 briefcases a year until I purchased this bag. I have no idea why I'm so hard on them, but I've had this one for two years now and it shows literally no signs of wear. The sliding "shoulder pad" on the strap began to wear a few weeks ago so I called orvis and in two days a brand new strap showed up at my door. Can't beat that anywhere!
The design is very thorough. Whenever I find myself thinking I wish my briefcase had... I usually find that it has been designed into this bag. If you're cautious about the price, like I was, add up how much replacing a $60-100 bag every year will cost you over the lifetime this bag will last and it becomes a no-brainer."

Great Travel and Business case,
May 1, 2013
By: Backroads
from Rural Nevada
"Attractive, handsome, well made and professional appearance. Well designed with ample dividers and compartments. Will accommodate all but the very largest laptops. Well made with quality materials. A bit pricey, but high quality.
Good size and weight combination for daily professional commuting and air travel.

Unbeatable Quality and Function,
April 8, 2013
By: Edson
"I travel by air 18 to 24 times a year and I have found this to be my favorite travel bag. It is incredibly rugged and holds just the right amount of stuff. I can even take my 17 in laptop if I choose. I also use this bag in my daily commute to work. I believe this bag will be with me to my retirement and beyond."

Good briefcase bad monogram,
February 19, 2013
By: JenRL
"Great briefcase! My husband loves it. I would not recommend springing for the monogram - the brass looks really out of place on the dark leather. It would be much nicer if the monogram were embossed leather. Otherwise, great product."

Lovely quality wish for preview,
February 14, 2013
By: CanadianShopza
from Canada
"I carry a lot of files with me and this briefcase (unlike others I've had) holds everything with some room to spare. The pebbled leather is very nice quality and a lovely colour. The only recommendation I would have is to show a preview of the engraving because I would have made a change if I saw it ahead of time. I think 6 letters is too squished and that was the max they would allow."

Emboss,
February 14, 2013
By: HeidiH
"The product is great and high quality; however, I ordered a very similar one about a year ago and had it embossed with initials. This particular briefcase "can't be embossed" which is very irritating. Te embossing is much better looking than the gold engraving plate"

Great looking bag,
February 11, 2013
By: GaryInMissouri
from Springfield, MO
"I recently bought this bag based on a recommendation from a co-worker. It looks great and has some improvements over his bag. His bag did, however, have a leather strap, but mine has a cloth strap. A leather strap would add a touch-of-class to this bag. Overall, I am very pleased."

A mighty fine Briefcase,

By: 2BrickRick
from Mullica Hill, NJ
"The bag is large and laid out well with protective pockets for a tablet and a laptop computer.
An nice outdoor look for the businessman to proudly carry his stuff. It should wear well with age."

"Love my new briefcase! Received lots of compliments from friends and co-workers. It's roomy enough for my iPad, as well as other work files so I have only one bag to carry....and the brass monogram is a nice touch."

By: property

"I had continued to use my grad school bag for my new job but realized that I needed to get a "grown-up" bag to be taken seriously in the corporate world. This bag goes above and beyond my expectations. Beyond being functional, it is also a great looking bag!"

Sturdy and beautiful,

By: 3268
from Northwest PA
"I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It is sturdy, even rugged. He will use it both as a brief case and as a small carry-on for travel. The construction is top notch. The lining is an attractive dark plaid that will not show dirt. There are numerous pockets inside as well as a large one outside. The leather is lovely. We are both very happy with this bag."

Simplify the interior,
December 16, 2012
By: dexcornell87
from Green Bay, Wis.
"I purchased the Bullhide Leather Extra-Capacity Briefcase as a birthday gift for myself. I wanted something distinctive to use for the rest of my career. However, I returned it. Although the leather exterior is absolutely gorgeous, I don't like the cluttered interior with the signature tartan lining. There are just too many unnecessary elements such as the zippered iPad holder (looks cheap) and the molded cellphone pocket (very strange). Sure, we've become a gadget-crazed society, but the interior of a briefcase should be simple and easily accessible. I'm a big fan of the earlier versions of this briefcase. They had a brown or green nylon or canvas interior, which was easy to clean, and a streamlined organizer section."

"Well constructed and functional bag which looks the business. However once it is loaded with laptop, iPad, phone, etc there is limited room for papers. Might just be me...."
