Custom Briefcase from Cleverley or WS Foster?

[culverwood]

I am sure that Foster or Cleverley would supply you with a great briefcase but I have to go with Bengal Stripe and my vote is for Tanner Krolle.

Over the years my wife and I have bought many items from them and we have never been let down. They used to have a large off the shelf collection but I believe much of what they do now is made to order.

Like their respective shoes, the Foster bags I have seen have in my opinion had a little more of a bespoke look to them. Cleverley uses more exotics, and probably fits better .

Ditto Cleverley- my understanding is it is contracted out.

I haven't purchased a briefcase from Cleverley, but I have purchased a pair of boots from them. When the boots came in, they were too large. . .no problem, sent them back and they sent me a half size smaller boot. Fit was great. Moral of the story. . .They are real easy to work with and highly recommended.
