Hello Chris, is this custom made briefcase the same as your No. 2 Briefcase on your website which is priced at $550? What is the weight of the bag? What is the solution to the water stain issue? Will you provide some treatments before delivery?

I think medium brown looks great! Do you have photo for chestnut?


I don't, but the Naragansett guy made briefcases in chestnut so you could probably find a pic or two floating around the forum.

Mine is from Whaler & Co. These guys hand make their leather. A number of features are optional. Mine is completely hand-stitched.

I've been trying to get a hold of Chris to order a briefcase but I haven't heard back. OP, are you still in touch with him?

No it's been quite some time since I last contacted him, at least a year
