@patrick_b it looks great. Alan does good work for the prices he charges.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Slightly odd question, apologies in advance.
I have a top-frame briefcase in bridle leather. It's been in use for years and I've noticed that the sides of the briefcase have become 'flatter' than what they were originally.
The picture below is not the briefcase in question, but it should illustrate what I mean. The red lines represent the approximate shape of my briefcase; note the reduced curvature at the top and the slightly flat appearance of the sides.
Is this something that should be expected to happen over time? Or is it something that perhaps needs fixing? Are there any tips or tricks for re-shaping the briefcase? Aesthetically I prefer the more rounded and curved shape (but it's not something I'm losing sleep over).
I'd be grateful for any views. The bag has a lot of sentimental value, so I'm not looking to buy a new one.

If you'd like some tips on re-shaping, you'll need to post photos of the bag so we can see exactly what's going on.
Thanks. Pictures of the briefcase below.
I would not do anything but use it...
This looks very very normal to me...
Thanks for your views and tips. As I suspected, I've fallen into the trap of overthinking this issue (perhaps not so unusual on this forum?).
Thanks. Pictures of the briefcase below.

Thanks My63. I see the briefcase as a lifetime investment, so it's nice to know that even pretty extensive repairs are possible.
Is anyone thinking of selling their Glaser Designs bag?
Hey! Ian Clegg here. I would love to help in anyway possible. Send me an email if you're still in the market for a briefcase. We have a new model coming out starting at $600.00 I also have a few factory seconds available. [email protected]I'm going to be headed to Sapporo in Hokkaido for around 10 days in the summer and I was thinking of purchasing my first nice leather briefcase for my upcoming years in dental school. I've taken a look at the bags from Frank Clegg and I think I'd prefer a more casual, non-gusseted briefcase option like the Commuter or zip-top bags. Anyone know of any Japanese bag makers, ideally available in Sapporo, that are around the price point of Frank Clegg? Or of any alternative options of a similar price range? I've seen the quality of Ortus bags but they're way out of my budget...
