More than I expected

The Correspondent Brief is a fantastic briefcase! The quality and craftsmanship is superior. The waxed canvas is HEAVY yet pliable to touch, the leather is soft and smooth yet thick and rugged. The brass hardware solid and bright. The zippers are huge and silky, they whizz open and shut satisfyingly.
The design is perfect for me. I was surprised to see that it stands up unsupported even empty. The interior organization is something I was unsure of and I called to inquire about. It turns out it is exactly what I was hoping for. The organization panel has 3 fairly deep pockets and 2 slash pen holders, along with a full length zippered panel. The two exterior pockets are fairly wide and deep and hold a bounty stuff.
I am excited for this bag and proud to own it. The work that went into shines through its quality. Frost River is a Great Company with exemplary customer service also. Thank you to the young lady that actually answered the phone and my questions!

The perfect everyday carry bag

This has been my daily carry bag for the last three years. I absolutely love it. Perfect size, just enough pockets and compartments. I work in a business casual office and warehouse environment and it's put together without being too dressy or formal. The construction and materials have held up unbelievably well. Really can't recommend this bag enough. If you're on the fence just do it.

Correspondent Brief

I was leaning towards NutSac (not saying there's anything wrong with them) before I found Frost River. I'm glad that I went with Frost River as the aesthetic suits me far better than any other I've found, and I've been looking for a "you get what you pay for" EDC/Work bag for some time. I have received quite a few compliments on it already. I have come to prefer the briefcase style over the flap of a traditional messenger. I'm already looking to add a haversack or sling type satchel to be used as a day bag to my collection; I will definitely be a returning customer of Frost River.

Very nice, old school brief!!

It looks like something taken out of an old movie, built to last, not to be replaced with time, but repaired. Nice!!

Correspondent Brief

Exactly the size I was looking for. The quality and the appearance is outstanding. I especially like the leather bottom. Should hold up well.
