We don't talk much about Chapman bags in this thread but here is a nice little video from the company, showing how they make the bags. For those who handled them, they're all canvas (or wool), leather and metal - there's no cardboard stiffener at the bottom or other extraneous details.

G- I assume a 15" laptop will go into the Chapman totecase?
Most definitely. The totecase also has a pocket inside so it could slot in there (in a sleeve of course to keep it padded) and leave the whole compartment free for clothes/documents

Really digging the blue bag and also the gray.

I like how the cream/olive looks but I take a lot of Boston/NYC Amtrak trips and I feel like it'd collect lots of dirt along the way.

I've been tempted by that blue bag for far too long. That will likely be one of my first purchases of the new year.

I like them all (well I designed them all...). The grey Harris Tweed and blue wool ones are really cool IMO and one should note that the tan canvas is quite a bit thicker and tougher than the others.

Hello Greg,

Is there a reason NMWA does not carry Luigi Bianchi suits?
Curious, what's your/the forum's opinion of them? Is the cut baggy?
