Jon. You are amazing. Great video as always. I got a Burberry briefcase several years ago. Returned it several days later as I realized it was quit pretentious and I didn’t like scratching my hand on the sharp zip every time I would reach in and grab something. 1st world problem of course. Looking for an old school unlabeled satchel now. Which smells of some good leather (sorry vegans) 😎
Hi Jon, I was noticing that the Faire briefcases are using only top grain leather, which is why I am balking at making a purchase at the moment. Would you be able to review the quality of their leather vs. the Satchel and Page? The leather on the Satchel and Page looks out of this world but functionally I like the way the Faire one is designed since it's sleeker.
I purchased the Hook & Albert from your previous video. I thought the interior storage would be a challenge but it's not all so bad. The quality of the bag itself was more than I expected. Very happy with it. It's a shame there really isn't any reviews of it.
Coming a little late to this, but I just wanted to put a comment here in case anyone else is doing research and thinking about getting a new bag. I don't know if they maybe used to be good and something changed, but my experience with Satchel & Page has been awful. I bought their Executive bag back in August, and despite what they claim on their website the laptop compartment isn't fully padded (there's no padding on the bottom, where your laptop constantly impacts every time you set it down), the leather is permanently water spotted after being in a light drizzle for less than a minute even though they claim the spots will be "absorbed" back in over time, and now, after six months of part-time use, the stitching that holds the interior pockets in place has started to come undone. For a $600 bag none of that is okay. They DO look pretty. This thing is lovely when it's just sitting there, but if you're reading this and are on the fence about whether to take the plunge I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere. There's nothing remotely quality, let alone "heirloom", about their bags at the moment. If you just want a super delicate bag that's pretty to look at, go ahead. But if you want something that's actually going to last you're better off saving your money or buying something else secondhand.
Any chance you have tested the Von Baer city bag? I was considering this or the satchel and page but unsure. I noticed the satchel and page leather scratches pretty easily but love the smell and authentic feeling of it.
Both briefcases have same functions and both are sharp looking. Also similar price tag. The difference is; Satchel Port 3.0 is available only in one color. Faire briefcases have multiple colors and both in smooth or textured material.
I have a ruitertassen satchel however I'm thinking about upgrading to either the ruitertassen briefcase or the Faire briefcase. Both are great but want a pick people's brains about this
Any recommendation for a bag that can carry 2 laptops and toiletries for travel but for work I just need something that looks professional. There's a lot of backpacks but I need briefcase-style.
What size briefcase do you recommend for most men about 6ft? If my laptops are 13" laptops, should I just get their smaller bags at 14.5" like the diplomat or should I get the counselor?
Should give ruitertassen a look they are pretty well priced at $200-250 with veg tan leather and several configurations regarding compartments and pocket layouts. Main downside is that the leather quality is unfinished on the inside and a bit stiff at first and it lacks many details of high end bags. From this roundup the faire leather bond briefcase seems most impressive at a very good price, I only wonder what the leather quality is like and longevity.

Dude I just found your channel and ITS SO COOL
That satchel and page leather never fails to impress, it’s so much deeper and beautiful than others
Awesome leather but I e ordered two bags from them now and returned them both for poor quality control. Disappointing
@@atl3630 I heard this a lot about satchel and page, poorly built.
Was just thinking the other day that’s it’s been a while since seeing a video by you. Great review/update, can’t wait to see what’s planned next

Great round up! All the bags look stellar!

Woah this is deep.... you mightve just talked me off the ledge for them...
@@Bigbeardfpv I hope so! I wanted to love it so bad, but I've had $50 Amazon bags that were better quality.
Thank you for the reviews!
Does the satchel and page bag have a luggage pass through sleeve?
Best briefcase review for business, thx!
How about Nutsac Jones 15 and Filson Original Brief?
A bag is a must have for today's man
Have you reviewed MontBlanc briefcases?
the haircut looks great!
Ant thoughts on the Bosca ‘Stringer’ in Amber?
Very informative vdo. Thank you!
What about Carl Friedrik? Didn’t you review theirs a while ago?
Yes but their design is not as heavy in the functional organization features.
Does anyone have the name for the Slim pouch at the start of the video?
Ya, that's what I was looking for too. I like the 3rd one. Small zipper case. What's that one?
Nice gameboy in the tech dopp kit :)
Jon I have been watching your videos since day one I feel like! Back in the Oliver wicks days.
Cool slim briefcases really sharp.
What is the name of the 3rd slim tech organizer bag presented? :)
Any chance you have tested the Von Baer city bag? I was considering this or the satchel and page but unsure. I noticed the satchel and page leather scratches pretty easily but love the smell and authentic feeling of it.
Great video
Review time resistance bags
Super torn between the Satchel and Page 3.0 or the Faire Leather Bond Briefcase... any advice?
Both briefcases have same functions and both are sharp looking.
Also similar price tag.
The difference is; Satchel Port 3.0 is available only in one color.
Faire briefcases have multiple colors and both in smooth or textured material.
I have a ruitertassen satchel however I'm thinking about upgrading to either the ruitertassen briefcase or the Faire briefcase. Both are great but want a pick people's brains about this
Will you do a work backpack video?
Please do a review of the Italic Walker Slim briefcase
You got it
Any recommendation for a bag that can carry 2 laptops and toiletries for travel but for work I just need something that looks professional. There's a lot of backpacks but I need briefcase-style.
Hey, the port you reviewed is not on satchel’s website anymore. Any idea if they changed the port design? Coz i am interested in the one you reviewed
This list is incomplete without Saddleback Leather.
What do you do for work?
awesome bags! 😍
Would you consider Frank Clegg's zip-top briefcase overpriced?
Thank you

Smaller is going to be better most of the time

Hey what happen to the long hair and beard?
need another video in 2024 please :)
Can I fit my NFT's in this breifcase?
Your links are broken bud
I knew a guy with an expensive briefcase who still kept his wallet in his foreskin. Just the wallet not his keys.
what??
