I've owned this bag for about 6 months now, and used it a fair bit, so I feel that I can give it an unbiased review.I was skeptical of the quality of this item at first based on the price; how good could it be for under $100, when there are so many other leather bags that cost far more? I was also dubious as to the authenticity of the material. I've since taken it on several trips, ranging from a couple of days to over a week, and I can safely say that all of my doubts were misplaced.For the price, you simply will not find a better bag, at least not one made of leather. And fear not - it is indeed REAL leather. Any doubts you may hold about that will vanish immediately when you open the package containing the bag and get a whiff of it (I personally love the smell of leather - if you don't, you'll want to let this thing air out somewhere). And because it is real leather, it will not crack, split, flake or splotch like cheap imitation pleather. This is supple, high quality stuff, and I'm not worried about it developing holes or fraying over time.The bag is well designed, and the layout makes economical use of the available volume. For a week long trip to Vegas, I was able to fit five pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, three pairs of shorts, two swim trunks, a pair of slacks, a pair of jeans, two t-shirts, two polos, and two button-down dress shirts, and this is without utilizing the side pockets, which are plenty spacious in their own right. Note, however, that this bag is not intended to be a one-size-fits-all travel solution. If you're staying for more than a week, you will need another bag / carry-on unless you're planning on only bringing clothes.The small details on the bag are surprisingly high quality as well. The zippers are nice and sturdy, and I haven't had any issues with them getting stuck, even when the bag is totally stuffed. I'm not sure exactly what the clasps on each end are made of (looks like brass maybe?), but they're sturdy, and tightly affixed to the bag; I don't see them ripping or coming loose over time. The same is true of the handles.My only semi-complaint with this bag is the shoulder strap. It is reasonably comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing, but I wonder about the durability of the latching mechanism over time. The pin that goes through the notch to secure the strap length is thin, and seems like it may bend or break if one isn't careful. Additionally, the band that secures the excess length in place tends to slide off easily, leaving a length of leather flapping around as you walk. I imagine this could be easily fixed with a piece of tape or something.In summation, I'll say again: you aren't going to find a better bag of this size, craftsmanship, and of such quality material in this price range. I bought this for myself, but I'd be over the moon to get something like this as a gift. Five enthusiastic stars!
