This is a hot laptop, in Grey distressed leather.  The brief is made by ClaireChase.  The distressed messenger style briefcase will hold a large computer in the East-West protected laptop compartment, which features a removable computer shuttle.  You can also carry necessary documents, and personal items in the business organizer.  We think this rustic briefcase is cool because of  the rustic stitching, and the ability to wear it cross-shoulder for traveling.  The strap is of course, adjustable strap.  It comes in several other colors, as well.  This distressed brief is suitable for men or women.

Our second cool distressed leather brief comes in Chocolate and also carries a laptop.  The color of this computer brief is beautiful, and a features contrast stitching.  The distressed flap over brief has so many pockets and compartments you will be completely organized for any upcoming travel or meetings.  This Le Donne Leather brief comes with an adjustable, removable padded shoulder strap.

And Finally, the third cool distressed leather briefcase, also in Chocolate, is a distressed vertical leather laptop bag with top handle!  We like the versatility of this bag, its great to travel with because of its shape.  The laptop brief offers top handle hand carriage, as well as the adjustable shoulder strap.  The brief case has a front organizer, and carries laptops up to 12 inches.  The bag is an excellent organizer briefcase for short trips or meetings.

All three of these briefcases are under $250!

We like this East-West messenger bag because it is styled after the classic mail bag, with a full flap lid, with lots of organization under the flap.  The double buckles, along with the vintage style, vegetable tanning process give the bag a definite European feel.  The bags are made from Italian Buffalo leather and are lined with a strong, washable nylon cloth.

These leather bags have a washed, vintage look about them so you don’t even have to break them in!  The Italian Buffalo leather will help these bags to age beautifully.

Some of the pieces are attractive to women, such as the day bag or the cross-body iPad bag.  All of these bags come with a full leather, adjustable shoulder strap and each one has an internal business organizer for your electronic tools and personal belongings.

1. Some briefcases that zip at top have zippers that do not extend around the corner of the bag to allow full expansion of the inner compartments. What happens with these briefcases over time, is that the zippers eventually break, because of the restriction of space and access to the bag.  Instead, look for models that have zippers that extend over the curvature of the bag, even to the bottom, if possible.
2. Briefcases that do not have a proper supporting shoulder strap. Some leather briefcases are quite large, yet offer a narrow shoulder strap, which is going to dig into your shoulder, and ultimately make the briefcase swoop in the middle.
3. Pockets and organizational compartments are helpful, but if you have too many pockets and compartments that don’t expand to the outside, you are reducing the amount of content you can actually carry in the bag.
4. The best leather briefcases will have feet on the bottom or built-up gusseted legs that support the bag when resting on the floor, otherwise the bottom is going to get trashed and the laptop will not be protected.
5. When looking for a leather laptop briefcase, get one that has a specific padded compartment for the laptop. When you make do with a briefcase that is not built for a laptop, you risk damage to the computer, and also wear down the briefcase over time, at the sides and bottom.

The briefcase review also has some large pictures of different leather briefcase styles.

The review points out features that make your travel easier and what laptop briefcase styles may work better for you. One of the best tips in the article, is to measure your laptop prior to purchase of a briefcase. Measure the width, height, depth, and diagonal length.  Some sellers advertise the diagonal fit for laptop only, others advertise the exact dimensions of the laptop compartment.
