Knomo make good contemporary laptop bags, with traceable serial numbers if you lose it.

 

Not exactly as rough and tumble as picture, but looks “worn”.
Leather softer in spots than I expected. Cloth interior nothing spectacular. Will do the job I guess. Has the storage for the extra stuff. Mouse & charging cable. Will ditch the HP laptop for a Mac Book. Will fit new Mac Book and the IPad Pro with no problems. Throw some paperwork in if needed. For $150 I will look more stylish than the black nylon case in the current inventory. Now the challenge is the shoulder strap and carry handle. Seem fit to do the job. Will need to fondle an expensive case to compare.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Just a timing thing in the realm of the cosmos.

 

After an extensive search……..I believe in addition to the bag above there was an additional bonus.



The snake was obviously a hatchling, month or two old. After taking apart the room, no other snakes, no point of entry. No snakes in the yard, none in the attic.
The leather bag from India was within a foot of where I found the snake. So at approx a month passed before he emerged from the bag. I thought I looked it over pretty good.
That is my story and I am sticking to it.

 

Looks like a North American Water snake of some type to me.

Maybe a gopher snake.

 

Well how about a review. After 6 months or so that leather bag has worked out just fine. The added plus is the leather smell. Leather is good. No complaints here.
The HP fits like a glove and room for all the accessories.

 

I use this old Coach made bag for my work computer. I've been pretty happy with it.

 

Hey @Foo2rama did you end up with the SaddlBackLeather bag? Any pics/thoughts? I’ve had one of their card-wallets for a long time…it’s great…

 

My company ended up providing a branded satchel as part of the new employee welcome gift box.

I also have a saddleback leather wallet that I loved, until I switched over to a low profile Ridge Wallet. Great company, and some day I will order a lifetime bag from them. I have purchased other leather goods from them like belts and tablet protectors as gifts and they really do have an outstanding product.

 

My Ruittertassen. Six years old. No complaints. A very good bag for the £170 I paid for. It I also had a Filson for awhile but it weighed a ton and wasn't practical.

 

I have a Coach L13-5266. I received it on the Buy Nothing site in my hometown. I use it for my Masonic items at meetings. I believe that Coach will redye and restitch their products at no charge if sent back to the factory.

 

Here's the eBay search I used to find an excellent vintage mail bag: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=("bona+allen",+"bucheimer",+"byron")+mailPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
