Updated Post: After my initial review the seller promptly reached out to me and sent me a code for a replacement bag. The seller suggested I try ordering the gray in lieu of the green which I had originally ordered. A new bag was sent and although I have yet to use the replacement, I checked the stiching and it seems to be of better quality. The liner also appears to be of a slightly heavier material. Although my initial review was 2 Stars based on the faulty bag, I commend the seller for standing behind their product and quickly offering up a replacement to ensure a satisfied customer. Kudos for being a good seller! Good style, perfect weekend size, unfortunate quality. The first day of use the stitching on the zipper began to pull apart and fail. The liner isnt great either. I could live with the liner but the quality of the stitching was a big disappointment.

This bag appears to be very durable, but it doesnt seem quite as sleek or practical as Id thought from the description and some of the other reviews. First things first. The bag looks like it will last. My previous bag failed in two ways: the zipper jammed and started to tear away from the rest of the bag, and the piece of plastic and cloth attaching the handles and straps to the bag came apart. This bag looks much better than the other one. I think zippers will always be prone to jamming, but these zippers are nice and big, with metal teeth. The zipper for the main compartment also looks like its attachment to the bag is reinforced. So overall, the zippers look much better. Likewise, the straps and handles are attached to the bag itself not only with rugged-looking stitching, but also with rivets (?) that are probably stronger than the fabric itself. Im expecting this bag to last a long time. If you want to know how it actually stands up, you can ask me in three to five years. Another, more minor detail: the bag has what look like brass feet. (I hope theyre brass, and not copper like the description says, so that they dont turn green.) My old bag had rubber feet, half of which disappeared after a few years of fairly heavy use. This was a minor irritation at worst, but it looks like the new bag will do better. The feet are rounded, so it doesnt seem like theyd catch on anything. The one drawback I can think of is that if you were to drag this through gravel or something, maybe the feet could get scratched and end up with rough edges that could damage a wooden floor or surface. At the moment, though, they seem great. However, the bag is not everything I hoped it would be from the description. Its kind of hard to see from the photos in the description, but there are four loose leather straps hanging off of the bag. They appear to serve no real purpose, and theyre just waiting to get caught in a conveyor belt at the airport, or a car door, or another bags zipper, or . . . you get the idea. I guess you can cinch the buckles to make the bag slightly smaller (and more wrinkly), but for the most part, this seems like something that appears to be functional at first glance but actually serves no practical purpose, and I always find that irritating, to be honest. Its a fairly small detail, but Im planning to use this bag on a daily basis for several years, and details matter when somethings part of your daily life for a long time. And of course the bag has straps and handles that are also waiting to get caught in something, but why add four extra opportunities for this to happen? To be blunt, the bag is also uglier than it appears to be in most of the photos. Maybe it looks better when its really full, but the way Im using it, its wrinkly and floppy. I also think they put too many small pockets in. There are two pretty nice-looking zippers on the outside, but they lead to really small pockets. Another reviewer mentioned putting books in them, but theyre really too small for all but the smallest and slimmest of books. There are two zippered pockets on the inside that together form the sides of an open pocket (yes, its confusing), and two more oddly sized open pockets. Those open pockets on the inside are a little puzzling to me. Unless you have the bag crammed full, it seems like theyd be too loose for a pencil or loose change, and they seem too small for a book or a computers charger cable. Maybe theyre for your extra cell phones, if youre Walter White or something. Id prefer to have one or two simple internal pockets with zippers, and maybe a slightly larger external pocket for a water bottle. The way it is, though, all those medium-small pockets just add bulk for me: seemingly another design decision that looks good superficially, but doesnt actually make the bag better. On a positive note, the weird feature where you clip the bottom of the bag to the D-rings that the strap attaches to does seem well thought out. At first I was worried that this turns the D-rings sideways, which normally causes them to put a lot of concentrated strain on the sleeve containing them. However, in this case, it seems that theyre mainly transferring the strain from the clips on the bottom of the bag to the clips at the end of the strap, without putting significant strain on the leather sleeves holding D-rings in place. Let me return to the overall look of the bag, though. You could argue that the appearance isnt important, or that I should have paid more attention to the words casual life style in the description. However, the description also currently suggests that the bag is suitable for short business travel, and this bag would look ridiculous in a business setting. It would be completely out of place in a formal job interview or in court. If youre going on a personal trip with family or friends, it doesnt matter what your bag looks like, but unfortunately there are times when appearances make a difference. I was a little worried that four stars was too harsh for this bag, since it does appear to be very durable (time will tell) and well thought out in many ways, and the price is very competitive. However, I think that both the written description and the posted photos are slightly misleading (its not as pretty as in the pictures, and not really suitable for business use), and within hours of receiving it, I can already think of a few fairly obvious ways to make the bag better without increasing production costs (remove the pointless dangling leather straps and get rid of some of baroque system of pockets, and maybe make the bag a little stiffer). Although I expect to get a lot of good use from this bag, I dont think Ill buy another one when the time comes for a replacement. So four stars it is.

Very please with this bag - not only for the look, rugged, retro but the quality of the canvas and the leather trip is excellent. All zippers are smooth, no snag or catch and work well with the leather pulls. Inside pouch and zipper compartments are roomy and made well using durable nylon. You get more inside compartments than I first realized so all in all the inside space is organized so you are able to store smaller items without digging through everything you are carrying. The outer leather straps are good quality leather and allow adjustment if you overpack. The hardware is heavy duty and made to last a long time. I certainly recommend this bag.

Arrived on time! Impressed with packing, design and quality of this bag. It was a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves it!

This is a fantastic weekender that holds a ton of stuff. I got one for my husband and three sons and they all love it and use it all the time. Great buy!

I was paranoid about accidentally buying a bag that would be rejected from being used as a carry-on but this bag has been great so far. Theres sufficient room for clothes to easily last for a week and it also has some nifty couple of pouches inside for things you want to separate. The bag looks great as well and the only thing to be seen is the durability. For the price, Im a happy customer!

Cant say enough good things about this bag. Looks great! Feels great! Fits so much stuff, but doesnt look bulky. The quality is fantastic – I wont even say its good for the money – Its just good. And yeah, that price is pretty stellar. Every time I use this bag, somebody comments on it (I have it in the grey color). Its just a great looking bag – the perfect weekender. If you like the style, dont spend $100+ on something thats probably not even as good as this one. There are no fancy extra pockets for shoes, or whatever, but if youre like me...whatever. Just put the shoes in the bag. Some people have had issues with the zipper I guess – all I can say is: so far, so good. I could see how if I really yanked on the zipper, or got something caught in it, it might break. Thats a fair point. But be aware of that, and it should be fine. Also, in my experience, S-ZONE is a very responsive company, Im sure if you ever had issues, theyd be more than happy to help repair or replace.

I love the style. The quality is very nice.I bought it for my husband & he hasn’t used it yet. But it will be perfect for overnight work trips. He usually uses his carry on suitcase.

Took this bag on a 4 day trip. I was able to fit most of my things in this bag. It looks good and its well made.
