Augus Leather Messenger Bag for Men Briefcase Travel Backpack Shoulder Bag Fit 17'' Laptop

I was a little hesitant to order this at first. How can a bag so similar to the Saddleback Classic Briefcase be hundreds of dollars less? Was the leather really full grain high quality? Was it really thick leather? Was it really leather at all? The answer is YES the leather is great! The stitching is great! The rivets are great! The quality is great! With a few minor differences this bag is the same as Saddleback. It has the divider inside, but only two interior pockets instead of four. The bottom has two stitched seams instead of none. It is not fully leather lined. The flap is leather lined, the remainder is lined in heavy nylon material. The handle is not riveted but box and X stitched. There is no urethane padding in the shoulder strap.This is a quality bag that looks to last my lifetime (I am 70 so my lifetime may be shorter than yours).If you can live with these few differences, save yourself about $500.00 off the “name brand” and buy this bag.

This is very well made. No strange smells, just nice leather. Bag is a little heavy but works great for me with lots of room. Has a nice small clip for keys as well as some smaller outside pockets that work well for anything I need. Also outer rings that I attach hospital badge and fobs to. Very nice interior pockets for smaller things, one of which fits my small kindle paperwhite perfectly. Love it! have had several compliments about how nice it looks. Fits my journal, lap top other stuff on one side with a nice wider section on other side for overnight stuff at work. Would never use as an airline carryon but works great for me on my 24 hour ER shifts.

Definitely worth the price, and appealing to men AND women. Well-made, very stylish, and plenty of storage. The look, feel, and smell are exactly what you'd expect with genuine leather.

I absolutely love this messenger bag high quality leather. Durable, made to last. It's great for all my business needs. My 17 inch laptop fits perfectly. Lots of room. Great price. I definitely recommend.

I'm gonna use this primarily for my very large MacBook and its accessories. Will also put some travel-stuff in there that I need for plane-trips travelling between Florida, Michigan, and other states. I hardly ever check-in luggage so I try to travel with just 2 bags and shove whatever I can in just these two bags. That's why I decided to spend more money for a quality shoulder-bag instead of the typical cheaper-made ones.I anticipate that because of how the leather strap may rest on my back (in the backpack configuration) I think it might dig into my back. We'll see.

Hi, I love this bag so much! It is really heavy duty and smells like awesome leather. There are straps going all the way around it. Does not have tons of compartments inside but it holds more books that way. Plenty of room for laptop and several sketchbooks. It is physically heavy too but not too bad. My book bags are always heavy.... fits my art stuff. I wanted a thick leather and strong components so I can have for years to come and that is how I found this one.

After a couple months of daily use, this bag still looks great and doesn't show any significant wear, other than the kind of attractive finish darkening that happens with oily, unsealed leather. Note that this kind of leather will show scratches with use. Overall, it's gaining a very attractive of patina of wear.The stitching is rock solid, and the visual and functional impression is what I hoped it would be - function and service, more than features and fashion. Sort of the IT worker's answer to a carpenter's tool belt.It's large enough to accommodate my laptop, tablet and plenty of accessories, a small grooming kit (hairbrush, toothbrush etc), plus a couple of notebooks and such. There's room to store seasonal items like a scarf and gloves, as well.The fact that it uses buckle closures is a big plus: undo the buckles, and have complete access to the contents of the bag.

I love this bag. The reason I ordered it is because it is bigger than most other bags. I can fit all my stuff in it. It is heavy made with real leather.
