If you need more—more capacity, more pockets, and a more rugged exterior—this is the briefcase for you. Tough bullhide handles the abuses of morning commutes and life on the job, with a patina that's the envy of every colleague in your meeting room. Main compartment boasts three pen pockets, two large sleeves for a PDA and cell phone, and business card slots. The second is fully lined with nylon; a laptop slips in and out with ease. One outside slip compartment holds the daily paper. D-rings for included shoulder strap make it easy for you to carry in comfort. 13"H x 17"W x 5¼"D; 1,180 cu. in. Snag-free nylon zippers. Imported.

Awesome Leather!,
10 October 2008
By:
SWANKfrom Hammond, LA
"This case makes a very strong statement, looks great! I added a sleeve for my laptop. Great for files and documents, limited pocket space if you need it. In 4 years I had a rivet pop out on the shoulder strap, need to check into getting that fixed, it hasn't been an issue. Very stiff leather stands up well."

Great bag!,
16 September 2008
By:
Simonchfrom Surrey, England
"I've wanted one of these for quite while now and boy was I pleased when my girlfriend purchased it for my birthday. I recently started a new job after spending a year or so unemployed, carrying this bag really boosted my confidence when attending meetings etc. I've received quite a few positive and admiring comments from colleagues and friends. On the down side, as a previous purchaser remarked, the unsupported inner pocket sleeve can be a pain when trying to insert items for storage. In addirion the two carrying handles have a mind of their own and do not stay together preferring to stick out at right angles making storage a minor problem. If Orvis make a change to the design they should consider the use of a wrap around to secure the handles in place. But when all is said and done, it's a great bag and I'm really pleased with it!"

Handsome Bag,
05 September 2008
By:
Labrador
"I bought one of these as a gift. It is very handsome. The leather is very luxurious and sturdy, having no problem standing up to the travels of my archeologist husband. It has a lot of space for papers and a computer. The only negative is that sometimes a slight bit of color comes off of the bag onto light clothing. The instructions with the bag do indeed note this as a possibility. But I think it was suggested this might happen in warm weather, while I have noticed it even in not so warm weather. My husband does not mind, and I think many if not most people would not. It would probably only be a problem in one wore a lot of light colors, especially those that could only be dry cleaned."

Great Travel bag!,
28 May 2008
By:
TKLBOXfrom King George, VA
"I love this bag. My In-law's gave this to me last Xmas and as a frequent traveler, I have to say this briefcase is a must for the businessman. It has a built-in padded section for a laptop, lots of pockets inside and three other separate sections inside for paperwork and travel info. This will forever be my only carry-on when I travel! The distressed leather makes it even better and gives it a very rugged look. Love IT!!"

Excellent but flawed,
07 April 2008
By:
Wiedersfrom Minneapolis
"First off, I love this briefcase. I goes everywhere with me and I get lots of comments on it. It handles my laptop with ease, along with the necessary chargers and notepads. The bad part, and this is where I hope Orvis will listen up, is the small interior pockets. I travel quite a bit internationally, and need to store my passport, meds, camera etc. The small pockets are sewn to a flexible backing which does not stand up straight as the passport etc are being stored. Thus, one must push both hands into the case and hold the pockets open to insert the passport. This sounds trivial, but experiencing this every time I go through security is frustrating me. If Orvis fixes this problem, I will buy another case."

Perfect Briefcase,
21 January 2008
By:
Chief
"I have purchased numerous briefcases over the years. Like many others stated in their reviews, the briefcases I chose to compromise on just didn't hold up, or was not exactly what I wanted. Well, after many months of viewing this bag on-line, I finally bought it. Now, upon taking it out of the box it looked just exactly like what I thought it would look like; however, I was somewhat, how shall I say it...'askance' about all the "extra-capacity". I was not sure I was going to keep the bag to be honest, but I decided to give it a try b/c it just looked so good. Everyone in my office had something good to say about it. Well, extra-capacity? Okay, so far everything I stuff in it seems to go in, and I have combined from two cases into this one. I'd say it fits the bill. Super buy! Rugged, good looking, and mine. Go get one! Just do it."

"I have used my Bullhide briefcase daily for almost two years. It is a great design that is very durable and gets better looking with use. I would highly recommend this case for anyone looking for a rugged, yet professional brief case that can handle the rigors of a busy travel schedule."

Good looks and function,
12 October 2007
By:
Philfrom Colorado Springs, CO
"I purchased the Bullhide extra-capacity briefcase about a year ago, and carry it every day. I work full time and am also working on a graduate degree, so I need to carry my daily business organizational needs and also be able to carry a large volume of books, papers, journals and so forth on a daily basis. This briefcase works well and looks good whether at the office, meetings or school. I really like the fact that it stands up by itself, and I can reach into it without having to open a flap."

"I have owned this briefcase for some eight years and carry it every workday. It has been my carry on for trips all over the USA and around the world. The open compartment offers quick accessibility for boarding passes and other travel documents; one zippered compartment is partitioned perfectly for calculator, business cards etc; and the other is great for business papers. Eight years and I still get complements - "good looking briefcase"."

Great bag - durable, practical and great looking,
05 October 2007
By:
JoeM
"I can't say enough about this bag. As a salesman, I need a briefcase to carry around my workpapers for client meetings. Over the years, I would buy designer, black leather briefcases that would wear down and look awful over a relatively short time period. I was pleasantly surprised by my wife last Christmas with the Bullhide Extra-Capacity briefcase. It has plenty of room and gets better looking with age! If I had a dime every time someone complimented me on it............."

"The Bullhide briefcase is tough and classy. It always gets respect from the TSA agents at airports. My laptop fits well and slides out easily when needed. My business research papers can be found immediately in its exterior pocket. I wouldn't travel without this briefcase."

"I have admired the Bullhide Brief case displayed in the catalogue over the years. So when the Orvis store opened in Scottsdale I, of course, wanted to see the store... and their it was! I have never owned a really high quality case before. I never saw the need for one. But after I got an upclose and personal look at the bull hide it was love at first touch. Like everything else Orvis puts its name on, the bag has a "forever" guarantee...so I bought it. It already feels like an old friend. Thanks for making such great stuff."
