Briefcases, Bags, and the Murse

[morphsci]

Yep, AirBoss and and gator gets me a week easy but I never need a suit. I love academia.

That's disheartening Jeff. I had been considering a basic Alpha briefcase again. I wonder if those are still ok.

I think the Alpha is still pretty much indestructible but it does still have a much worse warranty than it had just a few years ago.

This is true. I had an Alpha for 12+ years and other than some zipper issues due to overstuffing it held up incredibly well. When there were issues, I brought it into the shop and they sent it to Tumi and it got fixed for free. I have a newer Alpha and it is just as solid and if anything the zippers are stronger. Not sure about the warranty, but I am guessing Jeff is right that it has been limited.

Lexdray has an online store now. Pretty pricey.

New Tumi bag.

[Voltron]

Nice looking duffel, Dinny. Is that your Hamptons bag?

[The Monkey]

Not yet, Al. Trying to figure out how I would smuggle it in without Katie noticing...

Tom Bihn briefcase.

[Voltron]

You are out of control!!!

[The Monkey]

I know, I know...I haven't purchased it yet, though. Is it too girly? I kinda like it.

[Voltron]

Oh, I thought you had bought both the duffel and the Bihn. I think the Bihn is a bit fem from that pic, but hard to say.

[luvdunhill]

I like it.

Aha, that is what I didn't like about it. Too fem for me.

Not at all. If you like it buy it. I like it better than my Tumi, which I no longer use.

I have a TravelPro Computer roller that's seen a ton of domestic travel abuse and has held up beautifully for 7 years - it's never been broken so I can't speak to warranty servicing by TravelPro, but the general buzz isn't that good for them.

Amongst really hard core travel types, Briggs and Riley is often considered best-of-breed.

Not the cheapest by any stretch, but this is one of those decisions that begs to err on the side of quality.

I don't think it's very girly at all.

[grawk]

it's not girly, but it's definitely metro

[VPI]

I don't think it is all that girly for a Bihn bag. That being said I would expect if you showed a picture with it unzipped the interior would be bright pink with neon light accents, Bihn style, and that might push it over the edge.

[shellylh]

None of my Bihn bags have come with neon lights! I've been jipped.

[The Monkey]

I'd probably go with the Black exterior/steel interior to maintain my generally tough look.

[tyrion]

I prefer the one in my post but to each his own. Al, that bag would not make you any more metro. I mean metro.

[shellylh]

Or...

Puhleeze Sistaz!

No piping of a contrasting color, no glossy fabric choices, no obvious cologne pouch... Fem? I think not honey!
