Honestly - how hard is it to just sew a sleeve along the back wall for a laptop? Why do the nice looking bags have to be the least functional. It doesn't really even have to be a padded compartment. Would make the bag so much more versitile... and when not carrying a laptop, the sleeve just fits against the interior back - you don't even loose and room inside.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Stylish Pack/Poor Construction

Though the backpack looks fantastic, the quality of the $200 backpack is rather poor. When I received it, the entire interior around the zipper had loose threads hanging off of it. I went ahead and trimmed the threads, and not a day later there were more. Every other day I use the backpack now, I have to trim the threads. I bought the bag hoping it would last me through undergrad and law school, but now I'm just hoping it will survive the year. Again, the pack looks great and overall seems to be constructed well, but the lack of care on the details is worrying.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Stylish Backpack

Great backpack for those who are interested in a stylish look. It looks great, but is much more expensive than other backpacks with the same function. Speaking of function, I can't figure out what the two leather strips with slits are for. But they look cool!!
Pros: backpack
Yes, I recommend this product.

Weak product

This product is a disappointment. The canvas and leather seem to be good quality, but the construction is poor. The canvas edges that are sewn to the zippers are not taped, so they started fraying the first day I used the backpack. The zippers are under-specified for a supposedly rugged product. The buckles that connect the shoulder straps are not strong enough to carry a real load, and they dig into my ribs when I load up the backpack.
If you want a fashion backpack that you'll load lightly, then this product should be fine. If you want a durable outdoor backpack, I recommend you look elsewhere.
No, I do not recommend this product.

This pack is made of the nicest pieces of leather and canvas I have seen in a while. The leather base is thick, the canvas soft but solid. The zippers are very smooth and the leather straps comfortable. This is just what you think it will be and probably won't realize it's full potential for 1-2 years after that leather base is broken in. Hope to pass this down to my son...
Pros: rugged, attractive, well built
Yes, I recommend this product.
