Antonio, many years ago I think I remember you doing a review on a briefcase/duffel looking thing that was handmade from Buffalo leather It had a wierd locking mechanism as opposed to a buckle or a zipper and it looked super elegant and classy I forget the name of the bag and the company, its an American company that was ran by an old man with a giant grey beard and glasses
Honestly I would love the City Backpacks. Both colors are great and versatile. You can definitely switch it up a lot. I watch the channel and take notes so I would wear this with work attire fasho. I work with a Personal Injury Law Group as a Intake Advisor so I always want to look my best. Plus, I would wear the satchels too when I knew I would be meeting a new client. Please pick me. If not, keep that 🔥🔥🔥🔥 content coming.
Mahi has some great-looking products. I can't afford to buy one until (I hope) next year, but I would get either The Harvard or The Messenger bag in ebony or vintage brown. Either one would be great for moving my marketing project documents and my notebook computer to and from the office. It would take my professional look up a notch or two.
Awesome and great looking MAHI products making it hard to choose from, My 2 favorites are the messenger and the Yale clip up bags any color looks great, working at the VA hospital and having to meet and help patients and or their family members daily any of these 2 bags would definitely help me keep my daily planner and paperwork needed handy at all times on the go not to mention it helps you look professional.
I'm glad you mentioned the part about the back problems having a bag over one shoulder can cause. Messenger bags were a trend when i was in college in the 2000s (bear in mind how heavy laptops were back then) You'd be amazed how many people from those college years now walk with a lean. One of my friends at the time used to load up his messenger so heavy in fact that his shoes wore away on the left side, not the heel like usual.
I am a 62 yo financial professional. I have a McKlein Harrison partners briefcase I carry when I have an appointment. I also have a McKlein Cumberland backpack I carry when I will be in the office. Briefcase more professional when in suit and tie client facing. Backpack more functional.
I'm a student and I've always been a messenger bag guy, the great thing about it is that I always stand out hence everyone are wearing backpacks. I even get compliments for my bag and it's such a conversation starter.
I've had bad experiences with backpacks as I used to fill them up too much and now I have a bad back. So to rectify this, I only use messenger bags and briefcases. My messenger bag is very old, made of canvas, and is falling apart, although it was never very appropriate for my use. I'm an artist and need to carry my portfolio and sometimes prints and original artworks with me, so my carry is always rather light. That navy messenger on MAHI is one of the nicest looking messenger bags I have ever seen! And would definitely make a good impression when trying to make a sale. It looks very professional and is what I'm currently missing from my pitches. Great video as always Antonio!
I'm a therapist who work with young adults. So I generally dress casually, and like to look sharp. I got my eye on The Roma backpack in vintage brown, which I would wear with a black leather biker jacket, white T, cuffed blue jeans, with a black pair of Timberland boots. To finish the look, a black necklace, silver watch, a ring, and aviator Ray-Ban.
As an older professional, it is time to upgrade my "briefcase" as it has not aged well. Regardless if I am selected or not, I feel that the Harvard would be the best fit for me. I wanted to also thank you for the great content and for the advice you put forward in your videos. Seasons greetings to you and your family and continued success into the New Year and beyond.
Personally, the City Backpack and Classic Backpack 3.0 in black will probably be a great go to. Since I'm still a student, it's a lot more practical holding on my supplies and carrying it throughout the day. Also since it's leather, it carries more acceptance in a work environment that might look down upon a stereotypical backpack.
The backpack is my go to bag. My Old Backpack makes it easier to carry all my daily things I drag around from job to job and it keeps my hands free especially as I am drinking a coffee. Backpacks are much kinder to my shoulders, and easier to run with when I am late for work :), I would Love a new backpack to rock with my new wardrobe as I lost 70lbs this past year. By the way I love your channel I learned alot of things about trying to style the new me.
I seem to have accumulated all of them, briefcases, messenger bags, satchels, backpacks, sling bags, hip packs, etc. Each has proven its usefulness at one time or another! My favorite briefag seems to be a leather softside TUMI bag I've carried for a bit over 30 years and my favorite backpack would be a toss-up betweem a waxed canvas Filson Journeyman and a Goruck GR1 Heritage design.
If I had a choice, I'd pick the Classic Messenger bag in Vintage Brown. I would use it to carry my laptop to all my meetings. I wear a lot of neutral tones so a brown bag would suit my style fantastic. Love the Channel and all the advice! By watching this Channel, I have been able to grow my style to make me look distinguished and gentlemanly!
The City backpack and the Harvard would be my top choices for daily life. I run two small businesses and would pair them both with my lifestyle. I’ve be watching your videos for a few years and really enjoy them. Keep up the great work!
After looking through all their bags, I would have to choose the Harvard satchel with the vintage leather. I am a Marine Corps veteran currently using my GI Bill to get my degree in business economics from Wright State University. I’m almost done with my bachelors and will be starting my masters program after that. I am trying to up my style in preparation for my masters program and the business world. The Harvard satchel looks functional for both school books and as a professional post school work bag. The vintage leather option would look amazing with my navy, charcoal, and light grey suits.
I would rock one of the the vintage brown leather messenger packs. I'm a teacher and assessment management at a music store, so I'm always wearing either a suit or right now a lot of light weight sweaters with a collared shirt (maybe a tie). But I'm a huge fan of pairing navy or grey trousers with brown shoes and leather belt, so I feel the brown leather messenger bag would be great! I would do the black one when I'm wearing black belt/shoes!!
Hi Antonio, I’m glad you mentioned the health factor of backpacks. As a tall guy with a long back, after carrying briefcases and messenger bags for years it certainly does cause some significant shoulder pain and posture problems. The nature of my work involves travelling between different offices, and often on track in the railway corridor or to rail workshops, so a backpack is definitely the much better option. The city backpack you were showing in the video would have to be my favourite, its versatility and stash pockets (there’s nothing worse than trying to find your wallet or a pen in a hurry when its buried at the bottom of your bag) certainly makes life easier for people in my line of work. I love that with the handle, in more formal settings or when you are wearing a suit it can be carried and blend in just as well as a briefcase, yet still fits in and doesnt look too formal when I’m in hi-vis and a hard hat!
I've just seen this video at the perfect time. I've just completed my degree and I'm moving on to a more professional environment from a blue collar environment. Thanks to your video, Antonio, I now know that a leather satchel is the way to go for me!
I would use the vintage brown classic backpack for college I just graduated high school and since I upgraded my wardrobe I know the classic backpack can elevate my style on campus.
Love this channel I like the satchel for myself and the City back pack for my son. He really deserve an new back pack. Such a great son and student athlete.
I like the vintage brown Dartmouth. It has a clean look that would look good combined with either business wear or jeans with Chelsea boots. I always enjoy your video. They also have interesting takes on the topic.
I travel, avg 100 flights annually, use a professional backpack and one experience changed my outlook on backpacks; I attended an annual company meeting with only c-suite and upper level execs. The last day we all had our luggage in a room (all checked out of hotels) and the entire room was a sea of random luggage with attached professional black ballistic nylon backpacks. Not a brief or piece of leather in the room. I’ve got several leather briefs that never get used due to the rigors of my travel. I used the brief when I was in/out office daily but, for travel, it’s backpack all day, every day. Side note: good call on the security mention of people having access to your pack when it’s on your back. I’ve seen it happen.
I am currently a college student who is constantly traveling. I need a new backpack, but I don’t need anything huge. I love the simplicity of the classic backpack 3.0. I love that vintage brown. It would go so nicely with my look. I also like the navy. It’s a nice color that would stand out from the crowd. The classic backpack would work well with my book load as well as my travel load!
As a Software developer I would use nothing but the messenger or the oxford zip up. Currently I'm using the Dell laptop bag that came with the laptop. All black and brown colors look great.
As a mom of a 5yo , and a business woman, I have overly busy life. I much prefer backpacks 👍 The City Backpack in dark blue will suit me well , so count me in. Cheers from VA
I just got my first management position so I would definitely get the Yale Clip up in vintage brown because that colour is beautiful, versatile and would go amazing with my favourite overcoat and even better with one of my favourite odd combos. Either that or I would get the overnighter travel bag in vintage brown as well, as the hotel I work at is in a smaller town And I travel into the city lots. I love that colour for versatility!!! Love the videos Antonio, keep it up!!
@@RealMenRealStyle Hey Antonio! Thanks for responding, huge fan! I’m from Alberta, glad you asked. I actually came across your channel when I was hired as an employee at this same hotel! I needed to understand the dress code and level up my style so I searched “business casual” and found you! Been hooked ever since.
I’m liking the black or navy blue Classic Backpack 3.0 as a young adult returning to college to complete my Bachelor degree.Even though all of my future classes are with juniors I still want to stand out from the younger crowd.I believe being the mysterious and mature scholar with a leather backpack would suit me.
I'm going for the briefcase "the harvard" because I ve heard that increases your chances to get into the university and "the nomad" backpack because is a travel bag, which I will use to visit Australia to check if vitaman products are made there, because they are out of this world.
Hey Antonio! I would choose "The City" and "The Harvard" bags in vintage brown for my choices. The city backpack would fantastic to fit all my university supplies and maybe some cool things for the kiddos I look after at a daycare once school is out. Plus it would be awesome aditiin to the brown leather jacket I have when riding my motorcycle. If I have a day off from work and just want the essentials (laptop and notebooks) the Harvard bag look perfect and absolutely gorgeous. Being a fair toned red head the brown bags are are a fantastic option and match my wardrobe or warm and bright colours much better! Let me know if you think I made the right choices! Keep posting awesome content, I've been hooked since I was 15 (five years)!
I’ve always carried a leather briefcase - soft-sided - for work so I made sure I bought one I really liked years ago and it’s only improved it’s look over time. Leather ages well. For an overnight trip though, or just running around town on the weekend it’s hard to beat the backpack. Stylish, sport and functional I can throw essential toiletries in there and be good to go wherever I am. That said - the briefcase is someone I really like.
I am a backpack guy for the most part. My grandfather was a WWII vet in the Army Airforce so I have a messanger bag specialty made for times when I need to impress. I love backpacks for the versatility and durability. Great for travel and work. It doesn't hurt my back and I love the look of the leather and canvas backpacks on Mahi's website. Love RMRS!
Great vid Antonio! As a young medical doctor the classic City Backpack would be an amazing update from my hiking backpack that I've been wearing since my university years and with which I've had a ton unforgettable stories. For the color scheme both Vintage Brown or Tan would definity match my business casual look and my go to color pallete. So, if you have some spare backpacks just remeber that Portugal it's a poor country and it's hard for us to invest in quality style items 😅 PS: the way you edit your video if I had to guess I would bet the City Vintage Brown it's your favorite backpack from Mahi, as mine 😂
My choices would be the classic Messenger in Vintage brown or the Yale Clip-Up also in Vintage brown, I'd wear it with business casual to casual wear for my job! I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I think pairing it with my brown boots and brown watch would look really good, or even making it that piece that pops out from a dark outfit. I am a job coach for disabled and handicapped people in the work force, basically the human equivalent of reasonable accommodation, so I have a work laptop I lug around with me to my work sites to keep information up to date with clients, check schedules, and document work flow so it would be great for carrying that bulky laptop and all the paperwork! Thanks, stay healthy!
I love The Classic Satchel and The Harvard in vintage brown. I'd use it when I return to University as a computer engineering student (combination of electronics engineering and computer science). I'd sport it daily with primarily denim jeans with a polo shirt or short sleave button up shirts. I love the channel. Definitely going to use the advice from this channel to rebuild my waredrobe for my career change and going back to school. Use the opportunity to reinvinte myself, and my waredrobe and style.
Good day Mr. Centeno, I hope all is well. Your advice has been priceless over the months and thanks it has been indelible as to how I carry myself. Just recently retired, in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and "The Harvard" would be a great present. To me it is a cross between the brief case and the backpack, the best of both worlds. You have influenced numerous men to take it to another level, continue to do so. Regards.
Antonio, I am a backpack / rucksack type. I am an engineer-programmer, so I like to have enough space to take a laptop when I needed it. I would deffinetly like to have a "The City Backpack" - black.
I would personally go with Black of either the City or classic. It’s great for everyday carry and not to overbearing for working around NYC. Keep up the amazing work and content! Stay safe happy holidays.
As an engineer in manufacturing i rock a backpack to work so i can potentially carry more and use it for travel to other sites. If i have a meeting with a customer ill break out the briefcase but those are pretty rare for me
As a young law student in a country as Colombia and in a city as Bogotá, I'll love to have the City Backpack for both university and travelling porpouses (to keep my books and laptop safe in my commute from home to school, to be able to carry gear and be confortable when visiting abroad and overseas). Also, the Harvard Satchel would be amazing for those same porpouses and is stylier for my profesional activity in 3 to 4 years. Both bags are amazing, stilysh and functional! PD. I am so sorry for any grammatical error, english is not my first lenguage.
Another great video Antonio👏👏👏 I went to the Mahi website and I would definitely pick the leather City backpack and the leather Messenger satchel both in Navy. I live in New York City and we take our bag game very serious. If I'm going to work, the gym, church, meetings, even social gatherings or dates I always have a bag with me. Both bags are stylish and rugged. A true reflection of myself. I really your channel. Keep up the great work!💯💯💯
I sometimes like being able to carry something in a briefcase configuration. My main bag is a Taskin One V9 backpack. I can hide the shoulder straps and attach a briefcase style sling to the side in less than a minute. Even better, when it opens up flat, I can keep the shoulder strap on and let the side drop open to reach anything inside. That way, it doesn't fall to the floor if there's a lot of stuff inside.
That city backpack in vintage brown is very sharp Antonio. Oh man oh man, the outfits i could pair that with. I carry a lot in business and most the time my ebike's dolly won't carry what i need. A strong well built bag like that is perfect for getting my stuff around. That vintage brown harvard looks pretty sharp as well
I always prefer a backpack. I'm working on my career path as a wilderness EMT and I like to spend time in the back country, in alot of those situations a backpack is necessary just for the essentials. It makes it so I am already more comfortable in a backpack and using a smaller one for everyday urban use. I don't really own a bag for those more well dressed situations, but if I we're going to get one it would either be a backpack like that Mahi City, or if I needed it to give a more professional vibe than that, the Mahi rolltop looks like it would be a fair option.
I’d love the Harvard in either vintage brown or black, as a young airman in training I come across NCOs and COs all the time in my civilian attire and this will help tremendously in demonstrating professionalism even when off duty.
I would love dark brown briefcase. As a student I'm currently using canvas messenger bag as my day to day option and tactical backpack as part of my rain gear. Suitcase would level up my style as I'm getting closer to my BBA degree.
Would love a dark business-style leather backpack like that classic model. I saved up for a leather briefcase because I graduated and am currently interviewing, and I knew if I could only have one I'd prefer the more formal option so that it suits interviewing at conservative offices. But sometimes it can feel a little too much for interviewing for creative roles or in more casual offices, and a minimalist leather backpack would be perfect for covering that spot in my wardrobe.
My messenger bag has seen better days. I'm a maintence guy, but just got bumped up to office work. Time to put the backpack away and switch it up. Any of these messenger bags would suit well. I like the classic and the cornell.
Me as a student and future teacher would love the Harvard, because it combines style with enough space für everything and looks great with a button down and some nice trousers Great content Antonio 😁
When I used to commute to work, a backpack was necessary. Now that I drive, satchel will do. I can carry my other essentials in a smaller bag that I can hand carry along with the satchel slung over my shoulder instead of having to haul everything in a heavy backpack
The Classic Backpack 3.0 vintage color looks amazing. Wearing with khaki pants, navy blue polo, light brown shoes, silver and light brown belt and same for the watch :)
If I had to choose my favorites, the harvard in the Vintage brown is my favorite! The perfect size to be versatile, and the style is on POINT! The Columbus, looks like a bag that can be taken everywhere, grab and go while looking good! Would love something like this!
Great video! Have to disagree with one point. If you are a young consultant, I would recommend a nice leather backpack (look for back padding). if you travel with your laptop, notes, headphones your back will think you for it. Don‘t get a messenger back that you were over the shoulder as it will rub against your nice suit and will wear it down. Talking from experience ;). Always make sure that the leather color matches most of your shoes and belts. Alan get a more expensive one with thick whole leather. It will age great, get patina and will last forever if treated right. Got mine from Buckle and seam also a great company.
The Messenger and the Oxford clip up! Incredible design and aesthetic. When I’m in the office, I walk to work (I live in DC) so I need something that can protect my laptop, accessories, and various papers, business cards, etc during colder and inclement weather. I had a canvas messenger bag and it simply didn’t do the job. I need something comfortable, functional, and stylish. These brown and honey colored bags seem to be the perfect mix.
I love The Satchel and even more so, the Harvard, in vintage brown. I am first in my family in higher education. Last year, I started law school. During my time, I have been using a Walmart backpack for all my classes and meetings. This summer I volunteered for the Virginia Eviction Legal Aid and used the backpack. Walking into my future legal volunteer efforts (tax clinic, eviction clinic, and general legal clinic) with a briefcase, such as the Harvard, would give me the perception of a lawyer and the confidence.
I like shoulder bags. Have used countless ones. Later in life you learn that they are bad for your back. Now I am using only backpacks for everything. Some can be carried as a briefcase for the board meetings. From Mahi I like the clean look of the Classic backpack. ...but size does matter. The City is larger and more versatile.
They look like the bags are great. I would use the classic satchel in either tan or Navy. I prefer the classic look. I have laptop backpacks but they don't provide a professional look. Having a satchel to take my laptop, phone, journal and a few EDC items as I go from work to clients to home would be perfect. Roller bags are great if you have a lot of things to move, but my typical EDC items don't require that much space. My usual business uniform is a dress shirt and chinos, but with Covid, I sometimes do just jeans and a sweatshirt during the colder months. The satchel would pair nicely with either outfit style.
I would definitely go with the Harvard in a black or blue. I’m gonna graduate school with my masters in a few months and would love a bag like this to take with me to college professor interviews, and the professor jobs that come after!
i got to go with the city backpack, the name is spot on in describing what id do with it, versatile for work and leisure in the city, hello from canada 🇨🇦, great video, valuable content!
@@RealMenRealStyle for my job which is on the go and I travel often I need a bag that can hold everything so I do not need to have a carry on when I go on overnight business trips.
Hi, Antonio! I would really like either the black classic backpack or the city backpack in dark brown. Im a highschooler and I think these backpacks are very versatile pieces, I think I could wear them with everything and anything, when going to school I usually have a business casual approach to my outfits, but I also tend to wear hoodies and more casual stuff during fridays or days in which i got tests. Sending best wishes from Romania! Be safe!
If I live and work in NYC, a backpack is a must for your computer, files, and folders, for commuting, unless you're Uber-ing around, then go with the briefcase. Like I keep my hands free at all times and can't stand having my hand holding a bag the whole time. As for a messenger bag, I don't like the weight of my items all on one shoulder and if I need to run to catch the train or cab, the bag flops around, especially if I'm carrying my laptop.
thank you Antonio,i am a fan of yours, I am backpack guy because its comfy for me and it hold my back very well though occasionally l try the briefcase but the switching of carrying it from left arm to right did not allow me to use it often.
I like the navy class duffel bag. I would love to get that as a Christmas gift for my younger brother especially because he loves blue. And I would love to get him a nice quality bag for him to use for when he and I go on trips. I know he would love using it any and every chance he gets.
I would use the Harvard. As an artist that hangs out out the local donut shop, having a messenger type bag I can pull my iPadPro, or even some reference books, works out very well on a daily basis. The extra pocket on the front is typically places I store my charging cables and in-ear headphones.
I like their Messenger, Harvard, and Oxford Zip-up satchels. I live downtown and walk past the PA State Capitol building on my way to work (normally), and I think these are both functional and fit the aesthetic of the urban college professor (me).
I'd absolutely love to own The Dartmouth♥️💯 It would be a great asset for me as I will be starting with journalism school next year and it would also be an added bonus to the look that I'm going for (Cornor Walsh from How To Get Away With Murder). I'd wear it with Chelsea boots/loafers, a nice pair of slim jeans, a shirt and a coat, or even just a golf shirt at times. Since I'm mostly going to be wearing leather shoes and bealts, The Dartmouth would make a phenomenal match 💯🔥 It would be my go-to-class and meetings bag
The laptop compact would be my number one in the black. College is mostly just me carrying my laptop and one or two small books with me so it would be perfect. Look sleek and clean which is definitely my style. If a busier day and a little more to carry, I would get the classic satchel I believe it's called. Very classic and less risks for wrinkles on my shirts and suit jackets because that is often what I wear. Also, amazing video man, loving the bags shown here man.
Colombus, weekner or duffle cause I often do dancing, fire or acting shows and often is really hard to carry all that I need for the show. One of those would help me greatly and would make me look better when I present myself to the people that approach me. Btw Im kinda new here but your videos are really awesome.
As a young lawyer, I'm gonna go with the brown harvard satchel. Looks really savvy and very functional as well. I can bring in a laptop and some important documents. I also travel quite often I have to bring with me sets of clothing, and the matching brown classic duffle would really be amazing. People will really notice that you pay attention to detail and quality.
I'd go with a briefcase because I live in a very hot country and I'm tired of having a huge backpack sweat print on my shirt. I love the Harvard in vintage brown, it seems like a very capable brief case with lots of space for books and papers (I carry a lot of stuff). I would style it with a light grey suit, white shirt; a blue silk tie; oak coloured tasseled loafers and a brown belt with a brass buckle.
A vintage brown messenger and Classic brown leather backpack is all I'd need to be stylish. They'd fit both my casual and more classy / professional outfits, since I absolutely love mixing blue and brown colors. Both professional and eye pleasing !
Great video as always Antonio , I'm new to the Channel been watching for about a month now, I'm about to start in a new position in the VA Hospital I'm currently working at. Now instead wearing a uniform I'm required to wear business casual attire so watching your channel has help me a lot. PS. had to go on a shopping spree from shoes to pants ,dress shirts and ties and definitely Sports coats. The Yale Clip Up would definitely be my choice .
Love the Yale clip-up or Classic Satchel in vintage brown, both look so professional and sleek and have that short-drop carry handle. I'd pair it with a navy blue suit/tie/pants, white shirt, and brown Oxfords (rounds out the colors pretty nicely). Applying to medical school this upcoming year, a leather briefcase really steps up the interview game and sets the professional vibe in clinical years and beyond!
Definitely the Harvard! As a fan of your friend, Rafael from Gentleman's gazette. I want something more versatile and can fit a lot of things, but would still fit the gentleman look. Especially when face to face classes are back.
I would go with either the City backpack or the classic backpack. Mainly cause I'm a Uni student who travels to campus on the train, and a backpack will be more practical for me carrying my laptop, my notes and notebooks, maybe even my sports gear as I play soccer in University as well. And since the backpacks are stylish and versatile, it'll match easily with what I wear. Be it im wearing a hoodie and jeans, or a bomber jacket, black t shirt and chinos.
I would love to wear the Oxford zip up (leather brief case bag) with business casual staples: solid color chinos or dark wash jeans, solid button-down shirts, suede/leather shoes. Specifically for warm seasons: short sleeve or polos will be top, suede/leather loafers for shoes. For cold seasons: long sleeve button down shirts, v-neck sweaters, a sportscoat / pea coat, and leather/suede Chelsea boots.
I’d love to have a nice leather backpack for school. The city backpack would be ideal, but the classic would definitely get the job done. I’ve been using this polyester Jansport since junior high, and going into college with a mature bag would be appreciated. Probably in navy or black, but I’d take any color as long as it’s not leopard print!
I like the Oxford zip up laptop bag. I work in a business casual office but I tend to step it up. The backpack the company gave us doesn’t match with the wool coats and boots I tend to wear so a leather briefcase would elevate the look. I also like the Cortes travel bag. I already have the classic duffle but the Cortes looks like a more refined travel bag for the weekend!
I would get the Harvard in the classic brown. I’m a pilot and would use that to carry all my stuff to go fly. So much better than the black carry on that most of us use.
Good info, Antonio! I never thought much about the differences between bags so it's cool to hear the distinctions. I'm a fan of the satchels, particularly the Messenger and the Harvard. The bags I've owned have almost always been nylon, but leather? Classy.
Those in collage that have gone all digital, satchel bags are amazing. I only need my laptop and a couple of tools with me. My satchel bag is just large enough to put in a 15' notebook with everything I need and it's super mobile by design. I can sit down, put my bag on my lap and pull my stuff out without having to bend over backwards to remove the bag. A big plus is that I can keep my phone and wallet in the front pocket but still have them accessible. Just keep your carry light, a massive satchel looks bad and that uneven weight on one shoulder can cause pain. I recommend a backpack for those on the go a lot or have large equipment they need to carry. Photographers for example As for colors, I like blue or a light brown camel. Statchels seem more casual than briefcases so light leather colors may go better with your apparels? Should the leather match your shoes? Idk lol, just some suggestions.
Love the Navy city backpack and the oxford zip up. When I'm flying, I like using a backpack to carry more items on the plane but for my day to day, I prefer something a little more compact that I can carry in my hand

Antonio, many years ago I think I remember you doing a review on a briefcase/duffel looking thing that was handmade from Buffalo leather
It had a wierd locking mechanism as opposed to a buckle or a zipper and it looked super elegant and classy

Please Mr.Antonio you should be add Arabic translation for Arab fans please Mr
I'm glad you mentioned the part about the back problems having a bag over one shoulder can cause. Messenger bags were a trend when i was in college in the 2000s (bear in mind how heavy laptops were back then) You'd be amazed how many people from those college years now walk with a lean. One of my friends at the time used to load up his messenger so heavy in fact that his shoes wore away on the left side, not the heel like usual.
I'm gonna go with a satchel much much stylish, its good for day to day work but for adventure of course back pack
I am a 62 yo financial professional. I have a McKlein Harrison partners briefcase I carry when I have an appointment. I also have a McKlein Cumberland backpack I carry when I will be in the office. Briefcase more professional when in suit and tie client facing. Backpack more functional.
I'm a student and I've always been a messenger bag guy, the great thing about it is that I always stand out hence everyone are wearing backpacks. I even get compliments for my bag and it's such a conversation starter.
I've had bad experiences with backpacks as I used to fill them up too much and now I have a bad back. So to rectify this, I only use messenger bags and briefcases. My messenger bag is very old, made of canvas, and is falling apart, although it was never very appropriate for my use. I'm an artist and need to carry my portfolio and sometimes prints and original artworks with me, so my carry is always rather light. That navy messenger on MAHI is one of the nicest looking messenger bags I have ever seen! And would definitely make a good impression when trying to make a sale. It looks very professional and is what I'm currently missing from my pitches.
Great video as always Antonio!
As a young professional, I'll get myself a black leather briefcase for that professional and low-profile/minimalist look that can go with any outfit.
I'm a therapist who work with young adults. So I generally dress casually, and like to look sharp. I got my eye on The Roma backpack in vintage brown, which I would wear with a black leather biker jacket, white T, cuffed blue jeans, with a black pair of Timberland boots. To finish the look, a black necklace, silver watch, a ring, and aviator Ray-Ban.
I would love to have a black Harvard style briefcase so i can gift it to my dad so he can use it in his new job!
@@Darkest_Soul_187 If you watched the video he told you to comment which bag and why for a chance to win it :)
As an older professional, it is time to upgrade my "briefcase" as it has not aged well. Regardless if I am selected or not, I feel that the Harvard would be the best fit for me. I wanted to also thank you for the great content and for the advice you put forward in your videos. Seasons greetings to you and your family and continued success into the New Year and beyond.
Personally, the City Backpack and Classic Backpack 3.0 in black will probably be a great go to. Since I'm still a student, it's a lot more practical holding on my supplies and carrying it throughout the day. Also since it's leather, it carries more acceptance in a work environment that might look down upon a stereotypical backpack.
Love the look of a briefcase but love the uses of the backpack!
The backpack is my go to bag. My Old Backpack makes it easier to carry all my daily things I drag around from job to job and it keeps my hands free especially as I am drinking a coffee. Backpacks are much kinder to my shoulders, and easier to run with when I am late for work :), I would Love a new backpack to rock with my new wardrobe as I lost 70lbs this past year. By the way I love your channel I learned alot of things about trying to style the new me.
BackPack - Hands down - Not 1 - but 2 Hands free & ready for action.
I seem to have accumulated all of them, briefcases, messenger bags, satchels, backpacks, sling bags, hip packs, etc. Each has proven its usefulness at one time or another! My favorite briefag seems to be a leather softside TUMI bag I've carried for a bit over 30 years and my favorite backpack would be a toss-up betweem a waxed canvas Filson Journeyman and a Goruck GR1 Heritage design.
If I had a choice, I'd pick the Classic Messenger bag in Vintage Brown. I would use it to carry my laptop to all my meetings. I wear a lot of neutral tones so a brown bag would suit my style fantastic.
Love the Channel and all the advice! By watching this Channel, I have been able to grow my style to make me look distinguished and gentlemanly!
This channel is the epitome of class
Thanks!
I know I personally watch Alpha for date style and Antonio for professional, further my career style. I think Antonio’s philosophy has helped me tons
@@DocRoc94 I watch both and gentleman's gazette they seem to have more topics but Antonio still has great quality content too
The classic backpack 2.0 is an absolute killer, specially to have a light trip to a small town or a day at the country side
The City backpack and the Harvard would be my top choices for daily life. I run two small businesses and would pair them both with my lifestyle. I’ve be watching your videos for a few years and really enjoy them. Keep up the great work!
After looking through all their bags, I would have to choose the Harvard satchel with the vintage leather. I am a Marine Corps veteran currently using my GI Bill to get my degree in business economics from Wright State University. I’m almost done with my bachelors and will be starting my masters program after that. I am trying to up my style in preparation for my masters program and the business world. The Harvard satchel looks functional for both school books and as a professional post school work bag. The vintage leather option would look amazing with my navy, charcoal, and light grey suits.
I would rock one of the the vintage brown leather messenger packs. I'm a teacher and assessment management at a music store, so I'm always wearing either a suit or right now a lot of light weight sweaters with a collared shirt (maybe a tie). But I'm a huge fan of pairing navy or grey trousers with brown shoes and leather belt, so I feel the brown leather messenger bag would be great! I would do the black one when I'm wearing black belt/shoes!!
Hi Antonio, I’m glad you mentioned the health factor of backpacks. As a tall guy with a long back, after carrying briefcases and messenger bags for years it certainly does cause some significant shoulder pain and posture problems. The nature of my work involves travelling between different offices, and often on track in the railway corridor or to rail workshops, so a backpack is definitely the much better option. The city backpack you were showing in the video would have to be my favourite, its versatility and stash pockets (there’s nothing worse than trying to find your wallet or a pen in a hurry when its buried at the bottom of your bag) certainly makes life easier for people in my line of work. I love that with the handle, in more formal settings or when you are wearing a suit it can be carried and blend in just as well as a briefcase, yet still fits in and doesnt look too formal when I’m in hi-vis and a hard hat!
This guy is thorough! Good video as usual!👏🏽👍🏽💯🔥
I've just seen this video at the perfect time. I've just completed my degree and I'm moving on to a more professional environment from a blue collar environment. Thanks to your video, Antonio, I now know that a leather satchel is the way to go for me!
I would use the vintage brown classic backpack for college I just graduated high school and since I upgraded my wardrobe I know the classic backpack can elevate my style on campus.
Love this channel I like the satchel for myself and the City back pack for my son. He really deserve an new back pack. Such a great son and student athlete.
I like the vintage brown Dartmouth. It has a clean look that would look good combined with either business wear or jeans with Chelsea boots. I always enjoy your video. They also have interesting takes on the topic.
I travel, avg 100 flights annually, use a professional backpack and one experience changed my outlook on backpacks; I attended an annual company meeting with only c-suite and upper level execs. The last day we all had our luggage in a room (all checked out of hotels) and the entire room was a sea of random luggage with attached professional black ballistic nylon backpacks. Not a brief or piece of leather in the room.
I’ve got several leather briefs that never get used due to the rigors of my travel. I used the brief when I was in/out office daily but, for travel, it’s backpack all day, every day.
Side note: good call on the security mention of people having access to your pack when it’s on your back. I’ve seen it happen.
I am currently a college student who is constantly traveling. I need a new backpack, but I don’t need anything huge. I love the simplicity of the classic backpack 3.0. I love that vintage brown. It would go so nicely with my look. I also like the navy. It’s a nice color that would stand out from the crowd. The classic backpack would work well with my book load as well as my travel load!
As a Software developer I would use nothing but the messenger or the oxford zip up. Currently I'm using the Dell laptop bag that came with the laptop. All black and brown colors look great.
As a mom of a 5yo , and a business woman, I have overly busy life.
I much prefer backpacks 👍 The City Backpack in dark blue will suit me well , so count me in.
Cheers from VA
I prefer the satchel, it suits my needs, also it’s versatile.
I just got my first management position so I would definitely get the Yale Clip up in vintage brown because that colour is beautiful, versatile and would go amazing with my favourite overcoat and even better with one of my favourite odd combos. Either that or I would get the overnighter travel bag in vintage brown as well, as the hotel I work at is in a smaller town And I travel into the city lots. I love that colour for versatility!!! Love the videos Antonio, keep it up!!
Hey Dustin - Curious, where are you from? How did you find my channel?
@@RealMenRealStyle Hey Antonio! Thanks for responding, huge fan! I’m from Alberta, glad you asked. I actually came across your channel when I was hired as an employee at this same hotel! I needed to understand the dress code and level up my style so I searched “business casual” and found you! Been hooked ever since.
I’m liking the black or navy blue Classic Backpack 3.0 as a young adult returning to college to complete my Bachelor degree.Even though all of my future classes are with juniors I still want to stand out from the younger crowd.I believe being the mysterious and mature scholar with a leather backpack would suit me.
I'm going for the briefcase "the harvard" because I ve heard that increases your chances to get into the university and "the nomad" backpack because is a travel bag, which I will use to visit Australia to check if vitaman products are made there, because they are out of this world.
The classic duffel in navy looks awesome. Subtle style, perfect for a surprise weekend getaway with my wife.
Hey Antonio!
I would choose "The City" and "The Harvard" bags in vintage brown for my choices. The city backpack would fantastic to fit all my university supplies and maybe some cool things for the kiddos I look after at a daycare once school is out. Plus it would be awesome aditiin to the brown leather jacket I have when riding my motorcycle. If I have a day off from work and just want the essentials (laptop and notebooks) the Harvard bag look perfect and absolutely gorgeous. Being a fair toned red head the brown bags are are a fantastic option and match my wardrobe or warm and bright colours much better!
Let me know if you think I made the right choices! Keep posting awesome content, I've been hooked since I was 15 (five years)!
I’ve always carried a leather briefcase - soft-sided - for work so I made sure I bought one I really liked years ago and it’s only improved it’s look over time. Leather ages well. For an overnight trip though, or just running around town on the weekend it’s hard to beat the backpack. Stylish, sport and functional I can throw essential toiletries in there and be good to go wherever I am. That said - the briefcase is someone I really like.
The Classic Duffle or The Overnighter. I take a lot of weekend trips and and my old Reebok duffle definitely needs an upgrade.
I am a backpack guy for the most part. My grandfather was a WWII vet in the Army Airforce so I have a messanger bag specialty made for times when I need to impress. I love backpacks for the versatility and durability. Great for travel and work. It doesn't hurt my back and I love the look of the leather and canvas backpacks on Mahi's website. Love RMRS!
Great vid Antonio!
As a young medical doctor the classic City Backpack would be an amazing update from my hiking backpack that I've been wearing since my university years and with which I've had a ton unforgettable stories.
For the color scheme both Vintage Brown or Tan would definity match my business casual look and my go to color pallete.
So, if you have some spare backpacks just remeber that Portugal it's a poor country and it's hard for us to invest in quality style items 😅
PS: the way you edit your video if I had to guess I would bet the City Vintage Brown it's your favorite backpack from Mahi, as mine 😂
My choices would be the classic Messenger in Vintage brown or the Yale Clip-Up also in Vintage brown, I'd wear it with business casual to casual wear for my job! I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I think pairing it with my brown boots and brown watch would look really good, or even making it that piece that pops out from a dark outfit. I am a job coach for disabled and handicapped people in the work force, basically the human equivalent of reasonable accommodation, so I have a work laptop I lug around with me to my work sites to keep information up to date with clients, check schedules, and document work flow so it would be great for carrying that bulky laptop and all the paperwork! Thanks, stay healthy!
I love The Classic Satchel and The Harvard in vintage brown. I'd use it when I return to University as a computer engineering student (combination of electronics engineering and computer science). I'd sport it daily with primarily denim jeans with a polo shirt or short sleave button up shirts.
I love the channel. Definitely going to use the advice from this channel to rebuild my waredrobe for my career change and going back to school. Use the opportunity to reinvinte myself, and my waredrobe and style.
I always had a sentiment to a leather duffel bag (but never owned one:) These from MAHI look awesome!
Good day Mr. Centeno, I hope all is well. Your advice has been priceless over the months and thanks it has been indelible as to how I carry myself. Just recently retired, in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and "The Harvard" would be a great present. To me it is a cross between the brief case and the backpack, the best of both worlds. You have influenced numerous men to take it to another level, continue to do so.
Regards.
Antonio,
I am a backpack / rucksack type. I am an engineer-programmer, so I like to have enough space to take a laptop when I needed it. I would deffinetly like to have a "The City Backpack" - black.
I would personally go with Black of either the City or classic. It’s great for everyday carry and not to overbearing for working around NYC. Keep up the amazing work and content! Stay safe happy holidays.
I definitely agree that use is the main determiner as a University student I need to carry a lot of books so a backpack just makes more sense.
As an engineer in manufacturing i rock a backpack to work so i can potentially carry more and use it for travel to other sites. If i have a meeting with a customer ill break out the briefcase but those are pretty rare for me
Just out of university a messeger, in brown, would be a nice upgrade. Just having an accessory like that can make you more stylish instantly.
As a young law student in a country as Colombia and in a city as Bogotá, I'll love to have the City Backpack for both university and travelling porpouses (to keep my books and laptop safe in my commute from home to school, to be able to carry gear and be confortable when visiting abroad and overseas). Also, the Harvard Satchel would be amazing for those same porpouses and is stylier for my profesional activity in 3 to 4 years. Both bags are amazing, stilysh and functional!
PD. I am so sorry for any grammatical error, english is not my first lenguage.
Another great video Antonio👏👏👏 I went to the Mahi website and I would definitely pick the leather City backpack and the leather Messenger satchel both in Navy. I live in New York City and we take our bag game very serious. If I'm going to work, the gym, church, meetings, even social gatherings or dates I always have a bag with me. Both bags are stylish and rugged. A true reflection of myself. I really your channel. Keep up the great work!💯💯💯
*I really love your channel.
You gotta be more specific and choose one Timothy :)
@@RealMenRealStyle Navy Messenger bag for sure💯💯💯. I can go everywhere with it and carry everything I need for the entire day.
I sometimes like being able to carry something in a briefcase configuration. My main bag is a Taskin One V9 backpack. I can hide the shoulder straps and attach a briefcase style sling to the side in less than a minute. Even better, when it opens up flat, I can keep the shoulder strap on and let the side drop open to reach anything inside. That way, it doesn't fall to the floor if there's a lot of stuff inside.
The Raleigh looks like it would be the perfect size for my weekly travel for work!
That city backpack in vintage brown is very sharp Antonio. Oh man oh man, the outfits i could pair that with. I carry a lot in business and most the time my ebike's dolly won't carry what i need. A strong well built bag like that is perfect for getting my stuff around. That vintage brown harvard looks pretty sharp as well
I always prefer a backpack. I'm working on my career path as a wilderness EMT and I like to spend time in the back country, in alot of those situations a backpack is necessary just for the essentials. It makes it so I am already more comfortable in a backpack and using a smaller one for everyday urban use. I don't really own a bag for those more well dressed situations, but if I we're going to get one it would either be a backpack like that Mahi City, or if I needed it to give a more professional vibe than that, the Mahi rolltop looks like it would be a fair option.
I’d love the Harvard in either vintage brown or black, as a young airman in training I come across NCOs and COs all the time in my civilian attire and this will help tremendously in demonstrating professionalism even when off duty.
I looked at Mahi and going through it I saw the Classic Backpack 3.0 and I definitely would wear that to my college classes for extra confidence!
I would love dark brown briefcase. As a student I'm currently using canvas messenger bag as my day to day option and tactical backpack as part of my rain gear. Suitcase would level up my style as I'm getting closer to my BBA degree.
Would love a dark business-style leather backpack like that classic model. I saved up for a leather briefcase because I graduated and am currently interviewing, and I knew if I could only have one I'd prefer the more formal option so that it suits interviewing at conservative offices. But sometimes it can feel a little too much for interviewing for creative roles or in more casual offices, and a minimalist leather backpack would be perfect for covering that spot in my wardrobe.
I've previously bought from Mahi Leather because of you, very satisfied with the purchase!
My messenger bag has seen better days. I'm a maintence guy, but just got bumped up to office work. Time to put the backpack away and switch it up. Any of these messenger bags would suit well. I like the classic and the cornell.
Me as a student and future teacher would love the Harvard, because it combines style with enough space für everything and looks great with a button down and some nice trousers
Great content Antonio 😁
When I used to commute to work, a backpack was necessary. Now that I drive, satchel will do. I can carry my other essentials in a smaller bag that I can hand carry along with the satchel slung over my shoulder instead of having to haul everything in a heavy backpack
The Classic Backpack 3.0 vintage color looks amazing. Wearing with khaki pants, navy blue polo, light brown shoes, silver and light brown belt and same for the watch :)
If I had to choose my favorites, the harvard in the Vintage brown is my favorite! The perfect size to be versatile, and the style is on POINT! The Columbus, looks like a bag that can be taken everywhere, grab and go while looking good! Would love something like this!
Great video! Have to disagree with one point. If you are a young consultant, I would recommend a nice leather backpack (look for back padding). if you travel with your laptop, notes, headphones your back will think you for it. Don‘t get a messenger back that you were over the shoulder as it will rub against your nice suit and will wear it down. Talking from experience ;). Always make sure that the leather color matches most of your shoes and belts. Alan get a more expensive one with thick whole leather. It will age great, get patina and will last forever if treated right. Got mine from Buckle and seam also a great company.
The Messenger and the Oxford clip up! Incredible design and aesthetic. When I’m in the office, I walk to work (I live in DC) so I need something that can protect my laptop, accessories, and various papers, business cards, etc during colder and inclement weather. I had a canvas messenger bag and it simply didn’t do the job. I need something comfortable, functional, and stylish. These brown and honey colored bags seem to be the perfect mix.
You gotta be more specific and choose one :)
@@RealMenRealStyle Haha ok ok, The Messenger. 😊
I love The Satchel and even more so, the Harvard, in vintage brown. I am first in my family in higher education. Last year, I started law school. During my time, I have been using a Walmart backpack for all my classes and meetings. This summer I volunteered for the Virginia Eviction Legal Aid and used the backpack. Walking into my future legal volunteer efforts (tax clinic, eviction clinic, and general legal clinic) with a briefcase, such as the Harvard, would give me the perception of a lawyer and the confidence.
I like shoulder bags. Have used countless ones. Later in life you learn that they are bad for your back.
Now I am using only backpacks for everything. Some can be carried as a briefcase for the board meetings.
From Mahi I like the clean look of the Classic backpack. ...but size does matter. The City is larger and more versatile.
They look like the bags are great. I would use the classic satchel in either tan or Navy. I prefer the classic look. I have laptop backpacks but they don't provide a professional look. Having a satchel to take my laptop, phone, journal and a few EDC items as I go from work to clients to home would be perfect. Roller bags are great if you have a lot of things to move, but my typical EDC items don't require that much space. My usual business uniform is a dress shirt and chinos, but with Covid, I sometimes do just jeans and a sweatshirt during the colder months. The satchel would pair nicely with either outfit style.
I would definitely go with the Harvard in a black or blue. I’m gonna graduate school with my masters in a few months and would love a bag like this to take with me to college professor interviews, and the professor jobs that come after!
i got to go with the city backpack, the name is spot on in describing what id do with it, versatile for work and leisure in the city, hello from canada 🇨🇦, great video, valuable content!
Great vid and I am going with a new backpack. Thanks Antonio!
Super! Why Backpack?
@@RealMenRealStyle for my job which is on the go and I travel often I need a bag that can hold everything so I do not need to have a carry on when I go on overnight business trips.
@@RealMenRealStyle
My back told me so. 😎
Hi, Antonio! I would really like either the black classic backpack or the city backpack in dark brown. Im a highschooler and I think these backpacks are very versatile pieces, I think I could wear them with everything and anything, when going to school I usually have a business casual approach to my outfits, but I also tend to wear hoodies and more casual stuff during fridays or days in which i got tests. Sending best wishes from Romania! Be safe!
If I live and work in NYC, a backpack is a must for your computer, files, and folders, for commuting, unless you're Uber-ing around, then go with the briefcase. Like I keep my hands free at all times and can't stand having my hand holding a bag the whole time.
As for a messenger bag, I don't like the weight of my items all on one shoulder and if I need to run to catch the train or cab, the bag flops around, especially if I'm carrying my laptop.
thank you Antonio,i am a fan of yours, I am backpack guy because its comfy for me and it hold my back very well though occasionally l try the briefcase but the switching of carrying it from left arm to right did not allow me to use it often.
The messenger or the classic satchel look the best to me. They have that classic look. Great for going back and forth to the office.
I like the navy class duffel bag. I would love to get that as a Christmas gift for my younger brother especially because he loves blue. And I would love to get him a nice quality bag for him to use for when he and I go on trips. I know he would love using it any and every chance he gets.
I would use the Harvard. As an artist that hangs out out the local donut shop, having a messenger type bag I can pull my iPadPro, or even some reference books, works out very well on a daily basis.
The extra pocket on the front is typically places I store my charging cables and in-ear headphones.
I like their Messenger, Harvard, and Oxford Zip-up satchels. I live downtown and walk past the PA State Capitol building on my way to work (normally), and I think these are both functional and fit the aesthetic of the urban college professor (me).
The city backpack 🎒 is awesome! Any colour would look great!
I'd absolutely love to own The Dartmouth♥️💯
It would be a great asset for me as I will be starting with journalism school next year and it would also be an added bonus to the look that I'm going for (Cornor Walsh from How To Get Away With Murder).
I'd wear it with Chelsea boots/loafers, a nice pair of slim jeans, a shirt and a coat, or even just a golf shirt at times.
Since I'm mostly going to be wearing leather shoes and bealts, The Dartmouth would make a phenomenal match 💯🔥
It would be my go-to-class and meetings bag
The laptop compact would be my number one in the black. College is mostly just me carrying my laptop and one or two small books with me so it would be perfect. Look sleek and clean which is definitely my style. If a busier day and a little more to carry, I would get the classic satchel I believe it's called. Very classic and less risks for wrinkles on my shirts and suit jackets because that is often what I wear. Also, amazing video man, loving the bags shown here man.
Colombus, weekner or duffle cause I often do dancing, fire or acting shows and often is really hard to carry all that I need for the show. One of those would help me greatly and would make me look better when I present myself to the people that approach me. Btw Im kinda new here but your videos are really awesome.
As a young lawyer, I'm gonna go with the brown harvard satchel. Looks really savvy and very functional as well. I can bring in a laptop and some important documents. I also travel quite often I have to bring with me sets of clothing, and the matching brown classic duffle would really be amazing. People will really notice that you pay attention to detail and quality.
I'd go with a briefcase because I live in a very hot country and I'm tired of having a huge backpack sweat print on my shirt. I love the Harvard in vintage brown, it seems like a very capable brief case with lots of space for books and papers (I carry a lot of stuff). I would style it with a light grey suit, white shirt; a blue silk tie; oak coloured tasseled loafers and a brown belt with a brass buckle.
Oxford zip-up in vintage brown, with a navy blazer, grey flannel trousers, and brown loafers. 💯
A vintage brown messenger and Classic brown leather backpack is all I'd need to be stylish. They'd fit both my casual and more classy / professional outfits, since I absolutely love mixing blue and brown colors. Both professional and eye pleasing !
Great video as always Antonio , I'm new to the Channel been watching for about a month now, I'm about to start in a new position in the VA Hospital I'm currently working at. Now instead wearing a uniform I'm required to wear business casual attire so watching your channel has help me a lot. PS. had to go on a shopping spree from shoes to pants ,dress shirts and ties and definitely Sports coats. The Yale Clip Up would definitely be my choice .
Love the Yale clip-up or Classic Satchel in vintage brown, both look so professional and sleek and have that short-drop carry handle. I'd pair it with a navy blue suit/tie/pants, white shirt, and brown Oxfords (rounds out the colors pretty nicely). Applying to medical school this upcoming year, a leather briefcase really steps up the interview game and sets the professional vibe in clinical years and beyond!
Definitely the Harvard! As a fan of your friend, Rafael from Gentleman's gazette. I want something more versatile and can fit a lot of things, but would still fit the gentleman look. Especially when face to face classes are back.
I would go with either the City backpack or the classic backpack. Mainly cause I'm a Uni student who travels to campus on the train, and a backpack will be more practical for me carrying my laptop, my notes and notebooks, maybe even my sports gear as I play soccer in University as well. And since the backpacks are stylish and versatile, it'll match easily with what I wear. Be it im wearing a hoodie and jeans, or a bomber jacket, black t shirt and chinos.
I would love to wear the Oxford zip up (leather brief case bag) with business casual staples: solid color chinos or dark wash jeans, solid button-down shirts, suede/leather shoes. Specifically for warm seasons: short sleeve or polos will be top, suede/leather loafers for shoes. For cold seasons: long sleeve button down shirts, v-neck sweaters, a sportscoat / pea coat, and leather/suede Chelsea boots.
I’d love to have a nice leather backpack for school. The city backpack would be ideal, but the classic would definitely get the job done. I’ve been using this polyester Jansport since junior high, and going into college with a mature bag would be appreciated. Probably in navy or black, but I’d take any color as long as it’s not leopard print!
I like the Oxford zip up laptop bag. I work in a business casual office but I tend to step it up. The backpack the company gave us doesn’t match with the wool coats and boots I tend to wear so a leather briefcase would elevate the look.
I also like the Cortes travel bag. I already have the classic duffle but the Cortes looks like a more refined travel bag for the weekend!
I would get the Harvard in the classic brown. I’m a pilot and would use that to carry all my stuff to go fly. So much better than the black carry on that most of us use.
Good info, Antonio! I never thought much about the differences between bags so it's cool to hear the distinctions. I'm a fan of the satchels, particularly the Messenger and the Harvard. The bags I've owned have almost always been nylon, but leather? Classy.
Those in collage that have gone all digital, satchel bags are amazing. I only need my laptop and a couple of tools with me. My satchel bag is just large enough to put in a 15' notebook with everything I need and it's super mobile by design. I can sit down, put my bag on my lap and pull my stuff out without having to bend over backwards to remove the bag. A big plus is that I can keep my phone and wallet in the front pocket but still have them accessible.
Just keep your carry light, a massive satchel looks bad and that uneven weight on one shoulder can cause pain.
I recommend a backpack for those on the go a lot or have large equipment they need to carry. Photographers for example
As for colors, I like blue or a light brown camel. Statchels seem more casual than briefcases so light leather colors may go better with your apparels? Should the leather match your shoes? Idk lol, just some suggestions.
100% id go with the messenger, I would rock that to my college classes everyday.
Love the Navy city backpack and the oxford zip up. When I'm flying, I like using a backpack to carry more items on the plane but for my day to day, I prefer something a little more compact that I can carry in my hand
