    Jack Georges Briefcases

    Can anyone speak to the quality of these briefcases? I'm looking for something more formal than Filson, Saddleback, et al around the $400-$600 (not ready for SAB yet) price point and like the look of their stuff. Thanks.

    I have a friend who has logged over millions of air miles and is constantly on the road. He currently lugs around a Tumi nylon ballistic briefcase which is way too small. When he squeezes in numerous booklets, pamphlets and other random items, it looks as if it's about to burst while heaving it...

    Recommendations on a new softside briefcase

    Need to tap the hive mind on this one: I need a new bag as my Tumi has bit the dust. I've been searching old threads and it seems that M&W, Custom Hide, and Glaser are popular with the peoples. So far, the M&W has the best "look" to me, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if there...
