Nice bag, August 30, 2009
This review is from: Ben Sherman Accessories Hunt Messenger (Apparel)
I ordered this bag in brown, because I liked the way it looked with both the leather and canvas. I was looking form something that would look good both at work and school. I was surprised that when I opened the box, the canvas was much more khaki colored that I was expecting. This was fine for me, but if you are looking for the lighter cream color that comes across in the photo, you will be disappointed. Overall this is a nice bag. It looks and feels well made and I think it would hold up well over time. I feel that it is a good quality for the money. It has a half flap with hidden magnets to hold down the flap and in the two outer pockets to secure whatever you put in them. The buckle detail is only for show. They aren't functioning buckles. There are a couple of zipper pockets (one in front and one in back) for things like magazines, papers, or files. There are two inner pockets for a cell phone, mp3 player, or things like that as well as a few pen loops and a small inner zippered pocket for things you need to secure a little more. There are two things that I didn't like about this bag. One is that once I put a couple of textbooks in it and put it on to see how it felt and looked, the leather kind of bunched on one end where it folds over and didn't lay flat. I may not bother some people, but to me it detracted from the look of the bag. This may not happen if you don't put as much in it, but I didn't try that as I'll probably always have a lot in whatever bag I'm using. The other is that there is no handle to grab it quickly. I do wish the back panel was a little more padded, so that when it is against your body full of textbooks there is a little bit of cushion. I like to wear my messenger bags right on the hip, so without padding it can get uncomfortable quickly. The strap is well padded and I think it would remain comfortable after long wear around campus or when out on the town.

Better Looking than Functional, February 24, 2010
Actually using this as a day to day laptop carrier probably isn't that practical. Barely fits my 15" Dell and even tighter fit with a writing pad in the other pocket. Not an adequate amount storage for pens, etc. BUT, it looks great...good quality. So what do you want Form over Function? This is for you. Then again, i'm high maintenance.

Stylish but lacks functionality, June 20, 2010
This review is from: Ben Sherman Accessories Hunt Messenger (Apparel)
Pros: Great style. Good for limited number of books and articles. Good sturdy material. Will look good if you have some more weight in the bag. Cons: Flap is flimsy as it has magnets. So it actually does not shut well. If you try and pick it up from its handle it'll open allowing your things to pop up. Less space for a larger sized laptop. Overall good price for a different style and very fashionable. But not fit to be marketed as a laptop bag.
