Customer Rating: - Exceeded expectations
I had very clear desires. A leather laptop bag in a saddle or buckskin color that was solidly constructed, masculine, and would last forever. I'm very satisfied with the Alpine Mailbag from the Brown Bag Company. When I saw they make those great leather tool bags, I was hoping they brought the same craftsmanship to this briefcase/laptop bag. They did! This thing is heavy duty leather with rivets, buckles and a very nice clasp. The handle carries it well regardless if the clasp is engaged or note. No cloth, nylon carrying strap or anything to fray and rip; just high quality leather throughout

The only thing keeping it from 5-star rating is the interior finish-out. The divider separates the laptop from my other stuff, but there really aren't internal pockets, which would be helpful. Just a business card slot and 2 pen loops. I put a cushion in the bottom from a cheapie laptop bag, but my small stuff kinda moves around inside. If you really need a slot for your phone, pod, etc. this might not be the bag. Logic says that a full leather bag is going to be heavier and it is, but I understood that and was prepared for it. But given the competitors for this kind of bag were $100 to $335 more, this is an excellent choice.
