I love the style and rugged durability of this bag. When it came crunched up in a box, it looked terrible. I stuffed it full and let it sit for a few days but that didn't work. I wiped it down with wet wash cloth, then put it in the dryer. That worked great and now it looks and works Great too! Make sure you remove the shoe protectors before going into the dryer.

I bought this based on other reviews. I haven't used it but was very impressed with the quality. Seems really well made and like the look. I'll update after I'm back from my trip.

It's nice to have a bag like this.

I really like the look and feel of this bag. The inside appears large enough to travel with 2-3 days work of clothes maybe more along with toiletries. I have not had the opportunity to travel with it yet. I am looking

This bag is surprisingly well-detailed with quality leather accents. An IMPRESSIVE GIFT.
The roomy size may tempt you to overpack the bag. Try to resist. The durability of the duffle is yet to be seen. Very much recommend carrying this bag by the finely crafted double-strap handles. The cloth shoulder strap, while well-constructed, overtaxes the leather end attachment sites, even when double-hooked to both attachment sites available at each end. What's more, due to large quality brass swivel strap hardware tends to make the bag pivot quite a bit while attempting to pick up and shoulder load. Only time will tell if canvas holds up at the leather connection points. This why I recommend avoiding excessively heavy items (like huge text or reference books) and sticking to clothes and shoes.
