5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you'd ever want in a leather messenger bag February 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been looking for a quality leather messenger bag for the past 6 months, and this bag fits the bill.

I'm a visual person and so it was a big leap for me to buy this bag since there was only one picture of the bag. What tipped the scale for me was reading the reviews. Reading the reviews of people who have purchased a product is absolutely invaluable in making the right decision

On to the product review:
The bag is made of quality leather, and uses double stitching. The bag strap is long enough to accommodate a big person, and at about 1.5 inches wide it doesn't get twisted up. The bag does not have a shoulder pad, which I initially thought would be a problem, because messenger bags that I've owned in the past that didn't have a pad had a tendency to dig into my shoulder. That is not the case with this bag.

The front flap is made of a single piece of relatively thick leather and is held down by a brass snap in the front. Hidden underneath of the front flap are two pockets that are about 3 inches wide, 4.5 inches long, and about .75 inches in depth; each having a single brass snap. Above the pockets is a zipper pocket that is about 12 inches wide and 9 inches long, and can easily hold a 75 page paper notebook.

The inside of the bag itself has 3 divided sections. The first section has pen, calculator and business card holders plus there is room for a 1 inch 3 ring binder. The middle section is zippered with a padded back area and was clearly meant to hold a laptop computer of 15.4 inches in size, although it is big enough to hold a 1.5 inch 3 ring binder. The last divided section was meant to hold notebooks, 3 ring binders, and books/textbooks. A big plus about this back section is that it will easily hold a 17.

Much has been said about the quality of this bag in other reviews, so I won't get into that. However, there's a big error with this particular listing, and potential buyers should take note. The photograph for this listing is for an entirely different bag from David King & Co. If you go to the official David King website (ussuitcase.com), and look under "messengers", you'll notice that the photograph above (which looks medium/dark brown) is for the "Distressed North/South Messenger Bag" (SKU: 6111), dimensions 12.5" x 10.5" x 4" . However, the bag that you'll actually receive (which looks nearly black), should you order from this listing, is "Distressed Large, Full Flap Messenger" (SKU: 6153), dimensions 15.5" x 11.5" x 4". Notice that neither bag has the 17" x 12.5" x 5" shown in this listing, so who knows where the seller got that number. If you would like to see an Amazon listing for the bag you'll actually be receiving, go here: [edit 7/2011: item has since been removed]. That isn't to say that this bag is not good. In fact, given that the medium/dark brown bag is smaller, I ended up needing the larger, nearly black bag after all (which is why I still rate the product a 5). But if you're wanting this bag purely for aesthetics and expect the dark brown bag above and not the nearly-black looking bag you'll be getting instead, you might be sorely disappointed.

[edit 7/2012. After a year and change, the picture for this listing is finally accurate. However, the listed dimensions are still off.]

3.0 out of 5 stars Good design, poor leather September 28, 2010
By M. Dunn
Amazon Verified Purchase
While the bag is of a good design, plenty of easily accessible pockets, etc. The leather is of a very cheap quality. Given the price of the bag, $139.99 when I purchased it, I expected better. If the leather was a little better I would give it a 4 or 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as pictured June 23, 2011
By MNmom
Amazon Verified Purchase
I searched a lot of places for a distressed leather messenger bag for a gift for my husband, and this photo is the exact look that I was hoping for. However, the bag that I received was not the one in the photo. In fact, it is the one described in another review of this product (titled "Inaccuracies..."). I am disappointed because I can't find the one in the picture anywhere else. I ended up returning it and finding one at Wilson's Leather. This is a nice bag, but I will second the opinion in the other review: If you're buying this just for the look, don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Bag Reviw February 9, 2012
By B1GIO

I've done lots of research online analyzing bags. After weeks I decided to purchase this one. I am very happy with it. I like its large size, rough finish, and ergonomics. Perfect for casual and professional use.
I've uploaded 4 pictures of the bag. This first contains a monster energy drink can for size reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly practical August 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Amazing quality, well worth the risk of ordering a distressed leather item essentially site unseen.

The shoulder strap is comfortable, the seams are sturdy, and this larger size holds several large text books or two large texts and my 17" laptop (yes 17"...it doesn't fit in the zipper compartment but I can still get it in the bag charger and all!).

Oh, and it has that sexy leather smell to! Yummmmm

Edit 10/29/11

I have now been using this bag 5-6 days a week for over a year and it has held up magnificently. No signs of crapping out on me anytime soon and BOY have I beat the hell out of it.

This has been my best buy from Amazon ever.

Not what I was looking for. Was hoping it was more like a book bag, to carry more than two books, but not much stuff fit. Little disappointed.

I payed about 179.99 8 months ago and it lasted about 3 months before the bracket attaching the strap broke. It should be welded shut or something. Read more
