Barrister's Briefcase

The Gladstone closure features a hinged frame that allows the bag to stay wide open while you are packing or retrieving documents. This design provides unobstructed access to the interior, making it much easier to organize files compared to a standard zippered briefcase.

At 9 pounds, this briefcase is significantly heavier than modern nylon or synthetic alternatives. It is built for durability and longevity, so you should expect a substantial feel that reflects the high-quality, thick full-grain leather construction.

With dimensions of 17"W x 15"H x 6"D, the briefcase is spacious enough to fit most standard laptops comfortably. However, keep in mind that it does not feature a dedicated, padded tech compartment, so you may want to use a separate sleeve for added protection.

While the Gladstone frame keeps the bag securely closed during normal carry, the optional strap provides an extra layer of security. It is particularly useful if you are traveling or need to ensure the bag remains tightly sealed when it is not being actively accessed.

Full-grain leather is highly durable and develops a unique patina over time. You should occasionally condition the leather with a high-quality cream to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out, especially if you live in a particularly dry climate.

The warranty is designed to cover defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. While it does not cover standard cosmetic wear or damage from misuse, it ensures that the structural integrity of the leather and stitching is guaranteed for a century.
