My Filson field satchel, made from bridle leather. It's pretty awesome now, but in a couple more years it's going to be off-the-chart sweet.

If anyone is interested, I have a the same case, brand new in box with tags, for $200 off retail. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...lson+briefcase

What do you guys think about this briefcase?

I am thinking of getting it. I like the idea of having two pockets on the side of the briefcase for putting personal effects.

Just remembered I saved a couple photos of one I really liked.

Do you have his exact ID? nick1974 isn't a seller and I couldn't find it in the close matches.

Looks like a nice design, though you do have to open both buckles to get into those pockets. I guess that's either a security feature or an irritation. I can't tell about the leather, though.

I think it may have been an attempt at humour, referring to the two wallets as "side patches"
