The kind that looks like an oversized briefcase with two zippers, one on each side of the handle. Anyone?

Why not continue to store the heroin up your ass, like usual?

You must learn to dream a little bigger, Vox.

Of course I don't know the dimensions of the OP's ass

^Or Vox's?? Hartmann or Glaser, depending on budget, would be my choice. I may spring for one of those, probably the Glaser since they're local and fanatics (in a great way) about quality. Also, Patagonia used to have a great option and may still (their MLC and a slightly smaller version). Not the type of bag that you're looking for, but for the past 10 yrs, I've used a Patagonia messenger bag for trips up to a month. The buckle for the main broke after the bag was overstuffed w/ loot from Manila and HK recently. I took it in for repair yesterday. They offered me a new one on the spot or a free repair. I opted for the repair, mainly since they no longer make it in orange, and I need the visibility on the daily commute. Edit: I'm also a fan of this bare bones ballistic bag by Manhattan Portage. But it has handles on both sides of the zipper, not zippers on both sides of the handle, as you asked.

Like this one (suggested above), but preferably leather. I found one made by Zegna but it seemed pretty low quality.

Vox, you know that with your burgeoning habit ****** no longer provides the required volume. I had to go bigger - it's for you, big guy . . . .
