Hi Guys,
I am a long time member who has not posted much in the last year or two. I am starting a new job in a few days and I am spending part of this week going through my wardrobe looking at my extensive collection of men's clothing plus randomalia items do not get much if any use at all.
First up is a black leather Polo Ralph Lauren zip-top briefcase. The bag is tagged on the inside with a leather "Polo Ralph Lauren" label. This is a slightly stiff soft-side leather briefcase that to my eye is very sturdy, although it got minimal use with me as the owner. This was my "dress" briefcase for the last 3-4 years that I would take to client meetings or interviews. I did not travel with it and generally used a work issued ballistic nylon bag or Millbrook canvas bag as my day to day- as a result this bag is in pretty much the same shape as when I bought it.
The bag will comfortably fit my 15.6 Asus laptop with room to spare for other papers or items. It also has a side pocket/flap for newspaper, books, etc. I've included pictures with my laptop and with my Filson 258 for reference in terms of size. I neglected to take a pic, but the bag also has small silver colored metal/chrome casters on the base so that the bottom leather will not scuff when you put it down.
I've searched the web extensively and I cannot find this exact bag, but everything similar is at least several hundred dollars or more. It was several years ago, but I got this bag on sale for a couple hundred bucks and I recall thinking it was a steal based on the tag price. This is a really nice bag, in very good condition, but the Filson I bought recently fits my rustic style better and I just have too much stuff.
Thanks.
