It's been very informative posts. I'm about to make purchase a laptop carrying bag, and of course MW bag is one of top contenders thanks to you guys Those who have the bag, can you share your thoughts after a few months of use? Especially how do you think of the quick release? A few articles (at Glaser design and Mitchell-leather) suggest that there is no dependable/durable quick release device, and insist belt/buckle are still way to go...
I'm a bit nervous, upon close inspection of their website, I noticed that they've changed their design such that the shoulder strap now attaches to the top of the bag- as near as i can tell 99% of flap over bags seem to attach at various difference points on the sides of the bags... The reasoning from MW was logical- people were experienceing bunching along the area where the D ring was located. It appears that Mitchell may have come up with a solution by knotching the flap a bit where the strap passes over side/top of the flap.
Hey everyone- Just wanted to provide an update. I ordered and received a M&W Laptop Brief in Steerhide (brown) color. Pre-sales communication was excellent, often with answers coming back in an hour or two. Shipping was fast, because they had the item in stock. The bag itself was lovely- rich color almost closer to a cherry brown, as opposed to the examples on the website. I immediately realized the bag was a bit too big for my needs. About a week in, I experienced an issue with the back pocket, the leather tore right at the seam as i went to grab the bag (it was sitting shot gun in the car and I made a sudden stop). The folks at M&W where excellent about the matter. They immediately offered a replacement (thought it would have to be made)-then after a day or two, responded that they had identified a production issue with that particular run and were addressing in the run that would include my new bag. Their honesty and integrity was top notch. I have every confidence that they will fix what ever was off in that run. Ultimately however, I realized that it wasn't the bag for me, and returned it--before the replacement was finished. I highly recommend the bag for anyone with a large laptop-the quick open mechanism was great, and the front pockets hold a ton of stuff. Hope this is helpful for anyone researching or on the fence about getting the bag.
Have they closed down? Their website is taken over by sponsored searches.
Anyone know what happened to MW Traveler?
