Winot, it's a thing of beauty--easy to see why you had to acquire it. I suspect that for most who post on this forum, "need" is not an issue. It's a safer, more useful, and (I think) less expensive habit than, say, heroin.- Brandeis

I found this, posted in 2012 in a BMW owners' forum. Whether it is accurate and whether it has anything to do with your situation, I don't know "The common Lexol cleaners and conditioners (brown and orange bottles) are not meant for the leather found in modern BMWs, or most other manufacturers...- Brandeis

u Find Marshall's, T.J. Maxx and Tuesday Morning stores in your area (assuming there are any) and start haunting them. It may be a day, or a week, or many months, but sooner or later you will find something at a good price that will last til you buy from Frank Clegg. Jack George's, Tumi...- Brandeis

I like the looks of this--quite a lot,actually. I think that this is a classic color combination. You can see a green and tan briefcase on. JP Marcellino's site, or look, for example, at the Tusting UK site looks like you did well. Distinctly not Walmart quality. Care to say what you paid?- Brandeis

This question is purely from curiosity. I will surely never own a Russian Reindeer case. When you have something that's been under water encased in mud for 200 years, do you treat it for water resistance? Do you use a leather treatment at all on it?- Brandeis

Antonio Centano of Real Men Real Style did a 25 minute interview with a Maxwell Scott representative about buying a briefcase--focusing, not surprisingly, on their bags. You can find and download that interview here: http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/buy-leather-briefcase/ . He uses a Maxwelll...- Brandeis

A forum member was interested last week in the Louis Vuitton Vassilli PM Epi, but not in the $3300 price tag. Moore & Giles Wynn-mailbag has flap and zipper. They make good-quality bags, as I can attest from personal and family experience. Not likely to be confused w anything French. I...- Brandeis
