The case was beautiful and the leather was obviously of high quality.

I’m a lawyer. I carry a pretty hefty caseload and I bought this briefcase hoping it would help. It does. The bag has been carrying my many (heavy) files to court with me without a complaint, and to many a compliment for the last two months. If you’re looking for an beautiful workhorse of a briefcase, you’ve found it.

Overall good quality.
But the pockets for credit cards are a touch (1/8-1/16) too small for credit cards - "too snag"

Gorgeous bag!

Very likely the best leather briefcase in the USA, and thus the world. A lost art that takes you back to when Americans made great things themselves.
