    Initial Comparison of Three Briefcases

    Many reasons to do this, and no, it's not due to solely my wife's initiative: 1) Save money so that I can buy more clothes, shoes, and bags. 2) We cook a lot and eat leftovers for lunch. 3) Better health because I'm not putting in tons of salt and sugar in my meals. I still eat out one or two...

    Initial Comparison of Three Briefcases

    13" slim laptop Laptop charger Maybe a file folder Small stuff (keys, phone, wallet, USB cords, medicine, mp3 player, business cards) My lunch is usually 12"x10"x3" by itself (I know this because it's in a separate cold bag), but the depth can go up to 5" (e.g. big ass salads = plant nachos...

    Initial Comparison of Three Briefcases

    Just thought I’d share my initial thoughts on my growing briefcase collection. Just for context, I wear smart casual street clothes to my office-based job. First of all, please pardon my phone picture. I did not apply any filters or anything, my dumbphone just shot the image that way. In the...

    Gap at the ankles of AE 5th Avenues

    Thanks for the feedback. There's an AE store very close by, and I should just take your advice and get over there. That's too bad, I thought I had my size sorted, for once.

    Gap at the ankles of AE 5th Avenues

    I just got a pair of these Walnut AE 5th Avenues from eBay (my first pair of AEs), and I ordered them in size 9E. I knew for a while that my feet were a bit wide, but I measured my foot for the first time to order these shoes. The toes feel great, but the ankles are swimming in extra space...

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread Part I: 2009-2014

    I've been on the hunt to find a carry-all for a while when I found this vintage Bugatti briefcase at Goodwill for $10 (high roller, I am). At first, I thought it was a bit too bulky, boxy, and...schlumpy-looking? but once I tested out my fairly standard commuting load in the bag, I was convinced...

    Bugatti Briefcase

    I bought this vintage black leather briefcase from Goodwill for about $10--the first leather briefcase I've ever bought. The brand logo says Bugatti and that led me to www.bugatti.ca. This site is one of the most mysterious retail sites I've ever seen; for what seems like such a high volume kind...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi, I've lurked for a while, primarily looking around the suiting, waistcoat, and bag/briefcase threads. I work in a very casual setting, and so my attire is mainly "smart casual." I have a bag addiction that ranges from backpacks, messenger bags, and briefcases. I commute to work by bike and...
