I have this exact bag in ox-blood color. If you take into consideration as what this video says, yes it is the best bag for the money. There is really no short-comings especially when you consider the very reasonable price tag. If I really nit-pick on it I do find a couple of areas how Beckett Simonon were able to cut cost in selling this bag at a low price point. First and foremost in cutting cost is the the leather itself. While I didn't measure the thickness, but based on feel, it is rather thin. This is confirm by how lightweight this bag feels. Good leather bags typically uses thicker (yet supple) leather and they are heavy. Perhaps being a travel bag, lightweight has the advantage and Beckett Simonon using thinner leather has this advantage here. Right there being a duffel bag, the thinner leather saves a lot of weight as well as cost. Secondly when you examine the shoulder strap, they are not one piece leather, but rather thinner straps of leather sandwiched with padding in between. I never use the shoulder strap and it is irrelevant to me; however, it is one area that potentially might cause problem when used often. So the bottom line is that it is a functional and practical bag for weekend use. If you look after it, it might serve years of usage.
i'd say this channel grew a lot over the past year. the content seems better and the overall video presentation has improved significantly. and the fact that you guys do not put ads really sets you apart. cheers!
Was looking for a brown bag and this looks great. Just wished the visual quality of the video looked a bit better. Was the lighting off? Besides that, context and message was on point.
I have seen a bunch of influencers talking about Mahi-leather. Can you do a review on them? Can be a thing for the worth it or not series? 😃 Awesome as always, still a huge fan of the unbiased reviews😃😂
The bag looks great, the only hiccup I’m finding is that the link makes no mention of Colombia and only lists the leather as coming from and Argentinian tannery, is that just where it’s being assembled?
Thank you for the great weekender bag recommendation. I am seeing a trend on men's Totes. What are your suggestions on this as it relates to using a Tote in a professional office environment? Thank you and love the work that you do.
Can you guys do b-roll shots of the products you're reviewing instead of using stock images? It detracts from the overall quality and flow of the video. I would understand if you guys didn't have the product on hand but since you guys do, it just comes off as lazy imo.
Bag looks great but its flimsy. So if you like a nice hefty leather,this is not the one. To me it felt cheap. I waited months to be dissappointed by the quality. The color was amazing i got it the brown.
Nice content but please, please learn how to light your studio and color correct. After so many videos and so many comments about your lighting and too yellow or too blue video why haven’t you learnt?

Really appreciate the ad free. Hearing about Tiege Hanley, 5th Watches, and Anson Belts gets really old.

I am a big believer in Beckett Simonon. I agree with your evaluation on this bag guys. Personal experience speaking here.

Ashely - do you prefer the tan, cognac or chocolate color when buying brown colored leather?

it’s ashley’s channel but dorian does so much of the talking. go back to the days when she does the talking!
Agreed. Dorian needs to be behind the scenes again.
@@donnyhy No he'd doesn't. He does a great job
it is just because he understands more on this topic.

Wait... thats considered budget?
I’ll just stick to canvas
For quality leather? Ab-so-lutely!
AWxInc Still a bit steep for my wallet but I agree with u
Please do an Is it worth it for New republic suede Chelsea boots!!!!!!!!¡
i have a pair and are definitely worth the price tag. the look of the boot is very similar to the common projects however costs significantly less.
@@FomegaDJ Lol, word. Thanks man, I kinda want to know what she thinks about the quality too though
what happened to the lighting?
so dark
Actually don't like the trapezoidal shape of that bag at all, even though the finish looks ok
Pebbled not Pebbleb. Misspelled
Barely showed the bag. WTH.
There isn't a POTW every week.
Awful lighting and sound...echo + her voice = never again. Maybe you should get some sponsors...lol.
First cmnt
