Opinions on A versus B. Here's A from 2 angles: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...edGraphic1.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...tedGraphic.jpg Here's B front and back: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...rodImagems.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...o/eqzoomms.jpg Pricing is similar and both are about the same size, 11" x 13". The second one ("B") is lined in canvas, the other one is unlined, simply showing the sueded side of the leather. B is a thicker cowhide, however, being approx. 4 oz. in weight.

the first, the second one almost looks like a woman's purse.

So don't waste people's time by asking for opinions on bags you can't afford.

Are you fighting for the Sarcastic Idiot Arrogant Teen award for SF tonight?

Part of the question was which was better, and was the publicaly approved choice worth the price tag. Should I say it again more slowly for you, sweetie?

WRONG. I never said it was out of my price range, **** I could spend whatever I wanted for a bag if I felt like the value was there. I was asking if OTHER people felt the bag might be worth the proprietor's price of $450.

I'd prefer the first one, but I think both of these bags are kind of in that awkward 'more formal than a messenger bag, but not quite a really elegant briefcase' territory. I like briefcases to be leather and elegant, and messenger bags to be informal and somewhat rugged. But that's just me.

Who cares about the price he wants to pay. You can ask a question because you're interested in which details of a bag people are interested in. Maybe he buys neither one of these bags, but buys one that is similar to the first but cheaper.

Just because people jump all over some random idiots on this forum, doesn't mean every post you don't find interesting was made by someone stupid. Plus, since some of the members do like the first bag, they might make bag buying decisions on what they see.

Jesus. There is no reason to derail a thread, if you think the thread is bad just let it die. Unless humour comes out of it (a la newbie boasting about his True Religions or something along those lines) don't be an idiot.
