Briefcase plus

I Wanted I’m no fool. Stuart and Lau allowed me to choose any briefcase in their lineup, so I went big. I chose the biggest, most expensive model they have. I thought the bigger the briefcase, the better idea I could get of its quality. Plus, I get to keep this briefcase, so why not go big? I chose The Cary Briefcase Double in Tobacco and Chocolate. The color combo fit my style, being mostly monochrome aside from the bright metal buckles and zippers. It seemed like a near-perfect match with most of my favorite watches and footwear. I always strive for total transparency, so I should mention that I knew about this bag long before Stuart and Lau reached out. When they gave me the green light to pick out a bag, I knew exactly which one and which color I was going to choose. One Tough Bag When the bag arrived at my house, I was a bit nervous. It arrived with a big, gaping hole in the box. It looked like it was in the fight of its life in the back of that delivery truck. The hole was so big that I could see quite a bit of the briefcase without opening the box. I figured this was all for nothing. I thought I’d open the box, pull out a torn, broken, and stained briefcase. I could sense the hours I’d waste in a never-ending run-around with the delivery company trying to get this briefcase replaced

Touch. And, it stows away so well that I didn’t even realize it was there. Overall Impression Let’s call it like it is: The Cary isn’t cheap. While I loved the look of this briefcase before Stuart and Lau even knew my name, I wasn’t rushing out to spend $350-plus on a briefcase when my messenger bag was doing the trick. I didn’t think I needed it. I was wrong. There, I said it. The Cary is a great briefcase. The quality, attention to detail, ruggedness, and sheer capacity make it an outstanding choice. Mine arrived on my doorstep with a big, gaping hole in the front of the box, yet it shows absolutely no sign of wear. That’s a big deal for me. The Complaints One of my two complaints about The Cary has more to do with my gluttony than the briefcase itself. I don’t need a briefcase this big. I sometimes feel silly when I open a compartment that’s barely half-full of gear. I have a feeling The Cary Single would be the sweet spot for me. With that said, there are a lot of guys who might love The Cary Double’s capacity. My other complaint about The Cary is a simple one. Stuart and Lau includes a very handsome leather keyfob with a magnet intended to cling to the interior of The Cary. With today’s bulky car keys, this key fob doesn’t do a particularly good job of holding those keys in place. It’s a great

If desired.The bag has two top handles, one on either side of the main compartment zipper. You need to grab both to carry it correctly; however, in a hurry, you can snag one to get started and adjust once you’ve started walking. If you’re using this as a briefcase, it isn’t the most comfortable carry, as the handles offer minimal padding. They aren’t uncomfortable; however, with a lot of tech, they’ll dig in after five minutes or so. EVERGOODS Transit Briefcase 20L (TB20) | The top handles.There isn’t a ton going on around the exterior of this bag; however, we dig the look, durability, and sleekness employed by the briefcase. Plus, the inside is where the real party is, but we’ll get to that soonFit NotesLeft: Eric Hergenreder, Height: 6’0″ (183 cm), Torso: 18.5” (47 cm) | Right: Kristyne Defever, Height: 5’5” (165 cm), Torso: 17” (43 cm)As mentioned, you can use this bag with or without the strap. If you aren’t using it in crossbody or shoulder mode, you can secure the ends of the bag to the sides using the buckles. This makes the Transit Briefcase 20L more compact, and it looks more sleek. However, this makes getting into the main compartment more challenging, as the opening isn’t as wide. This isn’t an issue for grabbing items quickly, but we recommend unclipping the sides to get into the nitty-gritty of things for organization.The strap attaches to the same buckles that secure on the sides. It’s easy to adjust and has enough padding to be comfortable for most uses; however, if you’re overloaded with tech and plan to wear it all day, it’ll start to feel like it’s digging into your shoulder. You can switch shoulders to move the weight around and transition between shoulder, crossbody, and briefcase mode
