  • In today's video, I am reviewing my favorite briefcases for men in 2022. A briefcase is a staple that should be in every man's closet. It is something where you most certainly get what you pay for. Your briefcase is a piece that can last decades if you buy right and take care of it. Let's take a look at some of my favorite briefcases for men.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      @@haoyangxiong1423 You seem to be mistaken about how leather quality is determined. I don't blame you: there is a lot of misinformation circulating Reddit, UA-cam, and even fashion companies.
      The concept of full grain>top grain>genuine is a myth: there is no universal grading system for leather.
      Source: nstarleather.wordpress.com/2018/05/31/the-grades-of-leather-hierarchy-youve-probably-read-about-is-a-myth/
      In short, full grain/top grain are descriptors of leather, but they do not mean one type is better than the other. Both have their place: you can't use thick, full-grain for every application. There is plenty of terrible full-grain leather and plenty of excellent top-grain/suede/genuine. Likewise, genuine leather is not "the worst kind of leather" and just means that it is actual leather. The legendary Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger boots have "genuine leather" stamped right on them, and that's some of best leather you can get.
      The ONLY way to judge the quality of a leather product is to handle it. Tanning (chrome vs vegetable vs chrome-free), finishing, sanding, the damage on the raw hide, etc. are all considerations. There isn't an easy scale or system to know how good it is at a glance.
      For the actual briefcase, the leather seems to be pretty good. It's rather stiff out of the box and has a very smooth and regular appearance. It looks excellent, but I imagine it would scratch rather easily. Reminds me of Chromexel leather.
