Briefcase otherwise you look like you're going to the gym.

[@DWilliam1]

I wear a suit everyday on my subway trip to Wall Street and want to puke when I see a man in a suit with a backpack. Then again, not to many men wear suits anymore.

[@dewantausifyarchowdhury2449]

Backpacks are either for school children or hikers not for work.

[@adeanh1]

You've been doing this for a decade? I just discovered your channel a few months ago! I searched for what you have to say about briefcases and this popped up from almost ten years ago.

Real Men Real Style I love this video from back in the day. Can you share the models that you have here?

[@akuseru85]

Wow... Young Antonio is very different. You have really upgraded. Impressive.

@thedaver8 We haven't opened it yet but you will have to be on our email list to win - if you're geting Weds update from me you're on it - if in doubt - sign up again and then delete if double emails arrive:)

[@melissam934]

I agree that there is a difference between dress briefcases and casual briefcases. However, there are some briefcases that can be used for both occasions. Von Baer bags offer a good variety of briefcases and their prices are pretty affordable.

[@rza139]

Hi Antonio. Holy smokes! I remember years ago you barely had any followers when I stumbled upon your channel. I think at the time I was looking for professional/office wardrobe tips or stuff. can't recall. At any rate, congratulations and keep doing what you are doing sir. Much respect.

[@sungtaekim9522]

I'vs been watching Antonio's relatively late videos usually after 2015, and i can tell his delivery has improved a lot. He must have put a lot of efforts!

[@bopeuph]

When it comes to color, do you need to match the case to the leather you're wearing (shoes, belt, etc.)?

[@faminethesecond6694]

For extra points yes

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@MrIcantseemyfeet I'm sure there are someout there - we just have to get them on KZbin!

[@TheUnknown-mg8fv]

Can I one just for style or fashion or get one that is what is used for?

[@geektome4781]

I agree there are dress briefcases and there are causal briefcases, but I also think there are shades in-between. It's sorta like watches: you have the dress watch at one extreme and you have the field watch at the other, but in-between you have diver's watches, chronometers, and pilot's watches. While a dress watch is best worn with a business suit, you could also pull off wearing a diver's watch. Similarly, I see the Saddleback Leather briefcases as being like diver's watches. Tough. Rugged. Handsome. Definitely not a sissy "dress" briefcase. But just as you could wear a diver's watch in a suit or in a tee-shirt, I think you can pull off carrying most Saddleback Leather briefcases with a suit or with causal wear. I am a trial lawyer and, while I'm no Saddleback Leather fanboi, Saddleback Leather owners have this weird espirit de corps. I can spot another Saddleback Leather product a mile away. Multiple times I have carried my Saddleback Leather briefcase to court only to find the other lawyer also carrying a Saddleback Leather briefcase. And I have taken it to the airport dressed rather casually and interacted with other casually dressed travelers carrying a Saddleback Leather briefcase. So while I admit that the Saddleback Leather is not a dress briefcase per se, I believe that it is appropriate to carry in a formal or casual setting. It is a versatile briefcase.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Geek To Me solid point. I love the comparison between the driver's watch and Saddleback Leather briefcase

[@nickyatsenko9232]

Hi Antonio, about month ago I've purchased the Maxwell briefcase, the one you mentioned in a video, cost about 800 USD. Unfortunately in a couple of weeks the screw which holds the handle has unscrewed by itself with no reason. The briefcase was a gift to my old man and now he can't use it, very unhappy with quality, this shouldn't happened to 1000 bucks briefcase.

[@zelzkoh2467]

Nick Yatsenko garuntee claim？

[@Drizlye]

God of War02564 just email MS and they will fix it for free. Had my MS bag since 2009 and it’s still beautiful.

[@DWilliam1]

Should have bought a $600 Coach bag. Indestructible.

[@nickyatsenko9232]

They didn't replace the bag, but send a single screw to replace the lost one. Took one and a half month to get a screw by conventional post. No other issues since then but due to bad customer service didn't use them again to buy a briefcase for myself.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@bopeuph It's nice, but not manditory. I like to keep them close though and if all your shoes are black you should then strongly consider black or a dark color.

[@TinaJackson]

Frank Clegg is also a STELLAR bag!! They don't guarantee their bags as far as I know but they don't have to, they are superior in build and quality. Made in Massachusetts and they are on the pricey side but when a lot of POTUS use your product and it's top-notch quality, you can't give it away! In case you're wondering, no...I have absolutely no affiliation with the company, just a fan. It's the first thing I've found that my boyfriend doesn't have and actually likes that I picked out. Well, except for our car...but that's another story. Trust me, I've done extensive research and this bad is amazing and comes in 3 gusset sizes as well!! I suggest black or brown, you know...classic but you do you! They have a ton of color options.

[@MrFrostglow]

Great video as always! really appreciate the videos :)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@SirBlade666 Let me give this some thought and perhaps it'll be the subject of a later vid as well.

Really enjoyed the video. Could not find any solid information about briefcases until this video! I am going to get a black briefcase, as it appears to be most interchangeable across settings.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN Agreed!

Listened to the 25 minute podcast discussion that you had on RMRS.com. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in learning about briefcases!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@MrFrostglow Thank you sir!

[@dogfood2525]

Antonio, Could you please give me your opinion on aluminum briefcases. Are these acceptable for use in a formal business setting? Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@thedaver8]

where do i go to enter the contest again? love this video btw!

[@gokulbasnet1216]

I was using backpack till day Going to buy a briefcase After this video Thanks man for info

[@Patryk_Luna]

Antonio, would that Maxwell Scott bag be too loud for an interview? I'm thinking about pairing it with a pair of double strap shoes and a gray suit. Then interview is for a service advisor in a car dealership in London. I know it's much... but is it TOO much or could I only just scrape by and get away with it?

[@tystake557]

wow Antonio. You look so young!!

[@ainzooalgown7589]

Any recommendations for attache case

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@italogross Thank You Sir!

[@ozzieburt2350]

Awesome

[@ronnierahman8543]

Thank you for your insightful video. What is your opinion on the attaché case? Do you think it's too old fashioned?

[@richardplotzker6591]

while I own a few leather briefcases, including one good one, the two that I use are canvas, one by Eddie Bauer and the other blue shabby canvas from Lands End with my initials purchased about 30 years ago. lands end canvas is indestructible though the plastic zipper pulls have been replaced by key rings. it's almost never opened. just right for a senior specialty doctor who finds it helpful to dress down a bit so as not to appear intimidating by knowledge or position.

[@LedSatriani]

I love how I was looking for a Dethklok song called Briefcase Full of Guts and this is the third video that shows up in the results.

[@jnseabolt]

Seems that the audio is off?

[@masterchief5437]

Vincero Briefcase?

[@ronnyr9760]

Always like your channel. I have been using a briefcase for many years - me a lawyer. But just realized it is actually called Doctor's bag... is there such a thing as lawyer's briefcase?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@omega160675 Of course sir - thank you for adding to the conversation!

[@nickdoddle9715]

When taking prepared lunch to the office and going to the gym after office, it isn't easy these days. I do not want to cram an expensive leather case into the steel locker. It probably wouldn't fit anyway. And I can't leave it in the car either, since I don't have a car. So, the backpack is the most practical bag, and good for the back as well.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Nick Doddle makes sense

[@tdf8700]

Hi Antonio! Great videos! what do you think of men clutch bags? too female? not practical? thanks man!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

TD F thanks - I would say a trendy bag --- This should help: www.realmenrealstyle.com/13-bags-man-buy/

[@AZANNETWORK]

what is the best bag for university students?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

AZANNETWORK A messenger bag would be cool.

[@gm-c3161]

Is it you or the bags? Let us see the bags !

[@Forrest_Gee]

Ruggedness does not look less dressy to me, in my opinion the saddleback is a dressier bag in it's simplicity and style besides it color.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

***** nice! saddleback is dressy as well.

[@AntonioCenteno]

@jnseabolt I thought it might be - we have to sync it manually - oh well, it does the job!

[@tombruton]

you do know your pocket square clashes with your shirt and tie?

[@KX5Kat]

Can't say I like either of these briefcases. Both come across as too bulky. The black one isn't especially dressy either, it's got too much going on and looks too fiddly. To me, the business briefcase needs to strike a balance of being practical, whilst looking sleek, minimal and elegant (I'd go for as small a briefcase as you can get away with). If a guy had to put that black briefcase on a conference table, I'd immediately question why a leader is carrying his secratory's inventory. If you're trying to project the image of a leader in charge, either go for a minimalist, black briefcase or an attache case. The brown one would be great for a university student or Philosophy professor.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

@alex43111 I'll answer in video 100 :)

[@jurrydevries4006]

Same thing here

[@mzeeshan]

Is it just me who noticed that his right lopel is different/longer than the left one ?

[@justyasier]

How do I Get to be on your email list?

[@ItsRud1]

i love your videos Antonio. But if you live in Wisconsin. Then check out Mitchell Leather Briefcases. Close to $2000.00 they will blow the doors out of Saddleback and William Scott and anything else

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+ItsRud1 Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it. Currently, I'm using Kattee briefcase :)

[@ItsRud1]

+Real Men Real Style I am afraid that you will be awe stricken and nothing else will seem like a worthy product. I am ordering one next year. their waiting list is 18 months.

[@armandol1826]

ItsRud1 what's a good hard briefcase for me? I'm 17 so I don't have a whole lot of money to spend

[@genkirs]

Whats up with that lapel?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Genki Matsumura it's a wide lapel :)

[@genkirs]

Thats what i meant

[@ndubstar]

that's to button up the collar. this is an outdoors suit, one you wear going in the country, rather than in the office or the city, or a formal suit style. Kinda goes with the saddlebag style I guess. Anyways, look at the color, green.

[@robbmg9716]

I still do not understand that lapel... :-D

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Robb MG It's a wide lapel

[@Blebona]

Just got a leather bag - I think it's a purse. Not sure how to tell...🤦

[@AntonioCenteno]

@samm605 I need to put a sign in the studio!

[@SquarishLink]

i like my purse

[@daizoshikama6772]

whats the story how come there ain't no briefcases no more? they make us use laptops & tablets, what do you know dad that u aint tellin us?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Daizo Shikama some people think briefcases are not as modern looking as laptop bags.

[@slygi4]

Real Men Real Style That is so sad. Briefcases look much better than laptop bags!
