Great bag!

My husband wanted a laptop bag that wasn’t overly large that he wouldn’t be worried about dirtying. But most of all he wanted something MADE in the USA. Challenge accepted. I found this and he wasn’t sure it would be big enough, but he really liked the look and the shape. I bought the premium and the leather is really handsome. I also added the state patch and a leather monogram.

He’s been using it two months and loves it. He packs so much stuff in there- 13” MacBook Pro, iPad, books, phone, umbrella, 32oz Nalgene, coffee thermos, eye glass case, files, etc. He’s a professor at a very large university so he has to walk a big distance across campus each day with all that. I was worried it was too heavy but he said that the strap and the crossbody distributes the weight well. I am hoping he will take less, but nature abhors a vacuum! Great bag!
