My husband is a senior man who hand-carries a traditional briefcase when he travels. But when he's also lugging 2 or 3 suitcases behind him, his "briefcase hand" is never free to help out. Even worse, one time, he actually set his briefcase down on the ground and ended up leaving it behind on the airport's shuttle-bus island! In time, I asked him to please consider a messenger bag with a shoulder strap to make travel easier, and this is the product he chose. Its quality, size, shape, and color are all as expected, and he's very pleased with it. I trust it will be the perfect "travel briefcase" for him. Thank you!!
