Again, I was looking around on the intrawebs and came across an ad for the new line of Coach bags for men. Nothing that really stands out and it's a bit more expensive than the Saddlebacks. The more I think about it, the more I think that the Saddlebacks really aren't all that too expensive. Yes they are expensive if you are just looking for any kind of bag or briefcase. But if you want a nice leather briefcase, it's not all that expensive.
The bag is definitely interesting. It's got character, I'll give it that. I think that initially I was more curious to see what it was like rather than excited to have it. Now I'm beginning to really like it. I really like the keystrap. You don't have to go fishing around to find the keys and it's long enough to use the key. Due to the lack of pockets, I feel that the first compartment with the big 6" x 6" pocket is a no-man's land. It's just a mish-mash of little trinkets needed for work- a small reference book, keys, my rubber stamp, etc. And it's all a bit disorganized. Would be nice to have more pockets. I also really like how it's a nice bag but it's not flash. No brand names, no logos visible on the outside. It's not a flash briefcase from the "f-you school of design". I read that somewhere and liked the sound of it.
The only thing is that I used to use my Patagonia mini mass as my daily bag- keys, wallet, cell phone. I'd take it everywhere with me- the grocery story, etc. It was small and lightweight so I wouldn't think twice about and I never forgot anything. I guess I could do the same with my Saddleback, but it's fairly big for it to do double duty as a daily bag. I might try it out. Today I went to the store and forgot my wallet, so I had to drive back and return with the wallet.
You know what? Let's do it. I'm gonna use this bag for everything. Use it as a daily bag- not just for work. This is supposed to be one bad mother *shut your mouth* I'm talkin' bout Saddleback *then we can dig it!*
