Leather Messenger Bag for Men, Man Purse Crossbody Bags for Work Business

Wow! Even nicer than described. Plenty of nice pockets. Love the nice leather and well-thought-out quality. I like the shoulder strap is removable. I leave it inside if I need it. It is roomy and I can carry everything I need each day. I’m a man who wants to be able to carry my things around easily and be at my fingers all day. I thoroughly compare similar items and decide what features I want & read reviews. Some said there was some issue with zipper, but these work easily and seem durable. Just started carrying it and happy with my purchase.

I have been trying to get my husband to get a carryall for years. He finally agreed to this one because it has a manly look. He ordered the rustic finish. He carries it everywhere now. It has lots of compartments to hold all his necessities that use to end up in my purse- phone, glasses, wallet, Kleenex, keys, etc.

This is an initial review after 2 weeks. This satchel was a replacement for another cheaper one i got on amazon. So far, so good. Appears to be sturdier than cheaper models. And i've gotten at least 4 compliments on it's appearance, which prompted me to write this review. This one was was almost $80, but i saw it had a bunch of pockets and compartments, and appeared sturdier. Lightweight, long strap (adjustable), so I decided to go for it, and so far, so good. I work where i deliver almost every day, so the bag will definetely be put to the stress test. So far all the extra pockets i can better organize all my cards. But will the straps/zippers rip out after 2 months??

Best leather bag i have ever bought! Great "man purse" for all of you that are looking for a great shoulder bag!

I just received this a few days ago, and my initial impressions are very favorable. As far as looks go, I've gotten several unsolicited compliments. I think it looks masculine without being in-your-face about it. It seems to be very well made--good leather, high quality stitching, etc. It's not real big, so don't expect to use it for a weekend getaway, but it holds my journal, stationery, and a moderately-thick book, plus pens, markers, my smart phone charger and other small odds and ends comfortably in well-place and nicely-sized pockets. I'm sure it will accommodate Kindles, tablet computers and the like quite well, but be aware that it has no padding except for the thick leather. The strap is a little narrower than I would like, but I guess it is well-proportioned for the bag, and that's a matter of taste--has nothing to do with quality. As far as the color rubbing off on clothing issue goes, the manufacturer does acknowledge the issue and recommends wiping it down with a soft cloth periodically for the first few days. I have had no issue with color rubbing off on my clothes. Overall, a high-quality item, at least initially. If I'm still impressed after a year, I'll come back and give it that fifth star.

The day after I purchased this item on AMAZON, and the item had shipped, the price online dropped to $69.00 from $79.00. I'll be happy with a ten-dollar Gift Card thank you as I feel Amazon owes me that much. Why? Well, I chose the coffee color and at the time of purchase the coffee color pricing was ten dollars higher than all the other finishes. The new pricing has put all the colors at the same $69.00 price. Now about the product. I've never been a fan of the "distressed" look. And the Jack & Chris write-up made no mention of a distressed finish, and instead led me to believe I was purchasing a "like new" bag. Only it wasn't "like new". This requires some explanation. I spent a good bit of time after my initial shock had worn off from unwrapping the "distressed" bag from the plastic bag it came in, trying to figure out how the leather on this thing had been treated by the maker to give the effect of aging. ( It looked like it had been on display in a shop window exposed to the sun for several years and then had been dragged through a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" kind of expedition. But I have failed. I have no idea how this was accomplished. However, the leather is substantial and tough and sumptuous all at the same time, yet stiff enough to retain its shape where needed. At first I thought this bag would not hold all I had planned on putting into it. I was wrong. This sucker just swallows what you put into it, and cries out for more. The weight of the bag with contents is around eight pounds right now, with room still in it for additional necessities (like a small aluminum flask filled with red wine). This thing is built like a Sherman tank. Seriously. With industrial-strength zippering. A lot of reviewers have complained about not being able to fit an i-Pad into this bag, but my i-Pad Mini with substantial cover fits very nicely indeed. I won't mention what else I'm carrying, but it's all in there. Bottom line--this bag is a keeper and I'm giving it 5 stars because it hits all the bases for (1) positively amazing utility, (2) quality of construction, and (3) excellence of materials used. I'm even beginning to kind of like the "distressed" look. I could see where it might even be useful in dissuading some potential thief from trying to grab it.. I used to have a fit whenever I bought something that looked "brand new" and then had to endure and curse as it slowly accumulated the inevitable scratches and dents and odd markings of age and use. With this bag I don't have to worry about that anymore. Because it's already been christened and well-broken in before I ever bought it. Bingo. A win-win for this soul.

The men’s shoulder bag is great my husband is totally fine with quality of leather & lots of places for his stuff….
