Briefcase Appreciation thread

The Henry Tomkins looks really great, even with the "crappy" phone pic. (So, shipping was 45 GBP?)

Henry Tomkins Essential briefcase in light brown. I added the shoulder strap (not shown), but otherwise stock. Very nice piece and only 210 GBP including shipping to the US.

EDIT: I forgot to say sorry for the crappy low light iPhone pic.

This is a real nice case. If I didn't get my sab I would've got this one.

Thanks for the compliments. A friend tried to talk me into the SAB Westminster but I just couldn't justify it (yet).

Shipping was 45 GBP because with the strap and packaging it weighed just over 4 pounds and it was air couriered. I think it shipped on a Monday or Tuesday and arrived on Friday.

You have done well. I haven’t seen this case in person. I think it will be nice if you could post some good quality pictures with details.

My wife just got a Nikon DSLR for her business so I need to learn to use it. But I smeared Obenauf's Leather Oil on it tonight and will wait a few days for it to dry before taking more pics.

Question regarding tallow. Dunhill recommends brushing with horse hair brush to help the leather absorb the tallow and to add tallow when necessary. There is different tallow (mutton, beef, mink) when researching on the internet. What kind does Dunhill recommend? What kind do you guys recommend?
Thanks you all your guys help!

Vintage Alfred Dunhill Large Organizer. Custom made at England Dunhill Store and is one of a kind. Has document case and attache case. Vegetable tanned bridle leather from the Tradition Leather collection. Has a red Maroquin lining. Absolutely stunning in person. The quality and craftsmanship is out of this world!

You should ask Dunhill what they recommend.

I have....and believe it or not, they are not to helpful with the tallow subject.

Sorry to hear it. I have only got experience with the mink-based products for shoe polish called "Saphir medaille d'or". They work well for shoes, and are in high regard here. Perhaps you should ask the question in the shoe care thread, here:

Thoughts on this briefcase (in dark brown, not in picture)? Triangular shaped flap (as shown) or regular flap?

I like the triangular one, fwiw.

 

[Superfluous]



I like the triangular one, fwiw.

I think I'm gonna go with that.


How do you guys have the inner compartments configured? What kind of storage do you have for your keys?
