You should send it back for a warranty repair. Tell them the stiching seems to have come apart.
Haha that would be hilarious

I think the nylon liner is fine. It's nice to the contents, adds some waterproofing, and is light weight. All that leather adds weight, and if you're lugging it around, it gets hesvy fast.
I almost shed a tear watching that beautiful bag being cut apart :)
I've had it for a year now. The dark chocolate brown color. A fantastic bag, on par with Hermes, Prada , Gucci or LV, for a fraction of the price. It has real presence. People are staring at it with awh and are not sure why the brand does not ring a bell. This is, in my view, for people that like maximum quality without the 'show off' and without selling their kidney to pay for it.
That's what you say. People kill for $50 and give a kidney for $500. So maybe $590 is for you spare money. Good for you.
I've owned this bag for about a year, and so far the quality is awesome! Holds up great, easy to clean. Kindof wish I would have gotten a bit larger bag to more easily fit water bottle, etc, but the craftsmanship and durability is 100% on-point. For a smallish slim briefcase, this is tops.
When TH-cam thinks you’re into men’s fashion because you follow this channel but you’re here for DESTRUCTION
Do an army boots series next.
Rocky's would come on top. And for the price Nike in the bottom lol
If you're going to do combat boots you should check out SM Wholesales boots. They're so nice. I just bought a pair of WWII American cavalry boots and WWII American paratrooper boots. They're amazing.
I love how you cut/ tear apart good quality products. The LL Bean boots video was really informative and it made me feel good about buying their boots and other products. Even as cringe watching this beautiful bag being torn apart I feel grateful to you for giving an informed and thoughtful evaluation its construction! Thank you for your videos!
Vincent van Gough's Starry Night CUT IN HALF! (Surprisingly good quality inside!)
Make cardholders out of this bag’s leather and do a giveaway!!!
i think you and i deserve one each! 😎
A bit thick for card holders at 2-2.2mm thick.
@@bethmcmullan9872 Or like 50 keyholders, so my key doesnt sctratch my wallet :)
For the people commenting about the nylon lining. I have used this bag as a daily driver for work since 2017 when it first launched and when you chuck a laptop in there, some paperwork, some random tech, maybe a powerbank and whatnot, it gets awfully heavy. I would NOT want even more weight. I also have the bigger brother Palissy 25h and that one gets too heavy, even if you don't fill it up. Which is why I only used it a handful of times and now it is collecting dust.
I'd missed these product breakdowns! Glad to see it again!
I've always wanted one of their bags, and now that I know about the quality of the leather and it's build, I'm convinced about spending that amount of money on one. Definitely a purchase that'll last for years. Great video once again
My gf bought me this bag for our anniversary a couple months ago and I have to admit I set it aside. After watching this video and going back to see how beautiful the bag is, I’m going to go thank her again !
@@maulvillalagarda2243 of course you need a man to tell you what to do
@@georginamikael473 of course you need to comment on a mans month old comment to make yourself feel better about your insecurities you bozo 💀
Lol
Love this team-up you two together have a lot of chemistry and a good flow. You both are obviously friends and it comes through in the video.
You're right, we get on very well in real life - a relief after traveling all the way out there!
Great to have Nick join in🙌🏻
The problem with leather lining is leather dye bleed. Imagine what might happened if you important paperwork in there. Or a silk tie.
raw veg tan doesn't bleed at all
@@D3vtsb Even when damp? I do not known much about the properties of veg tan.
Even when veg tanned leather has been dyed, if you use professional oil based dyes instead of water or alcohol based leather dyes, and it is properly buffed afterward, which all leather should be, there will be no bleed issues.
@@D3vtsb No, it does bleed if you keep things that tend to be moist (e.g. a water bottle, even well-sealed) in your bag, if your hands, going in and out of the bag, are prone to sweating a lot... Maybe leather lining is good for wallets, but when it comes to briefcases/bags, it’s safer (and lighter) to go with the nylon lining. A 100% full-grain leather bag (especially the double Plissy that CF sells) would be way too heavy and burdensome for a man who actually walks with it. They have to be functional, not just be statement pieces.
A natural fiber would be functional and have a better feel, there’s lots of premium natural fiber fabrics that could be used.
Somehow this video found me the day I hand stitched for 3 hours.
Ripping stitches so effortlessly. Almost teared up lol
Great video gentlemen.
That's so funny, that would hurt me as well
Two of my favorite youtubers! Great job! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Glad you liked it Stephen!
2 of my favorite reviewers on TH-cam. Thanks guys for a great video.
It was a pleasure, Luis!
I wouldn't mind the nylon lining as long as it is good quality. I think it would make sliding things in and out of the bag easier due to the "slickness" of the nylon. It is a beautiful bag!
Apple made a wallet! I am so curious how the leather in that will hold up.
My first assumption is that it'll be high quality materials assembled by slave labour, only fit a proprietary card size and be entirely glued so it's impossible to repair.
Lol garbage
The leather doesn’t looks bad,but the construction is questionable because the stitching is pretty thin and I’m pretty sure they’re made in china. I personally don’t own one just because I need more card. But I do like the look of it. Most people complain about the design and saying they will fall out is just stupid imo.
@@Joseph_yy Handmade by small artesanal company in Bergamo Italy., designed by Opperman bròthers in London England
@@iamtoast3397 and you'll have to take it in constantly so they can "add" to it.
Remember dad's briefcase with those big metal spring latches? Do they make those anymore? Also - Toaster gets pets on camera!!

Rose Anvil, could you do a review of Samuel Hubbard dress shoes sometime? They're very soft and pretty expensive (generally $200-$350 range) and I would love to get a better idea on their construction.
I just checked their website, the dress shoes is resoleable, some of them are full-grain leather,the ones with heel do have shank and their sole if from some well-known brands. So I would take a educational guess and say they’re decent quality shoes. At least better than Cole haan and rockport. Plus they’re made in Portugal unlike other “sneaker dress shoes” that are made in china. So if you’re looking for soft and comfy dress shoes I will say go for it. Hope this helps!
@@Joseph_yy I agree on the quality of them, my store sells them. I have a pair of boots from them (North Coast is the style) and I'm pretty happy with them. I was just curious about seeing them get gutted!
The details like riveting the cross body attachments are great.
i really love carl friedrik's leather products. Very minimalistic but also with some subtle details. Love my carl friedrik cardholder, which is probably the only thing i could afford from them. Really want to get their leather backpack though.
Great video
Hey! Love the videos and the content as always. I know you're not into watches since you don't wear any but for future ideas I would like if you reviewed leather watch straps. There's a lot of shady advertising, straight up lies around and vastly different quality even within the same price range.
It would be interesting if you review the leather watch straps, compare value and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in that type of content
That could be cool. They don't need a lot of leather, so I could imagine there are some great products out there for cheap that aren't getting the recognition they deserve
I am pretty sure there are a lot of watch nerds here (at least, I'm one of them), so I would give you more than one thumbs up if I could...
Yes, I've used watches for years and searching for decent leather watch straps at a reasonable price has been a journey, (very expensive when you add up everything). They sometimes overstretch/break at the holes, they're mostly not full leather they're pressed leather at the top and some sort of canvas, rubber or lining against your skin. Also, "Genuine leather" varies a shit ton in quality and if you search for high, top or full grain sometimes its just fake. I could go on for days on this subject and different brands.
@@LazyJacques hey, I'm glad I'm not the only watch enthusiast out here. I love Rose/Anvil's content and with his expertise of leather he would be awesome debunking and dissecting watch bands.
Yes please, I’m a huge watch guy and the differences between straps is honestly crazy. I’d love to see Weston review all the “genuine” leather that’s out there!
Yeah, you can tell the fella complaining about the lining not being leather is completely new to briefcases. Leather lining - even a quality one - does bleed if you keep things that tend to be moist (e.g. a water bottle, even well-sealed) in your bag, if your hands, going in and out of the bag, are prone to sweating a lot... Maybe leather lining is good for wallets, but when it comes to briefcases/bags, it’s safer (and lighter) to go with the nylon lining. A 100% full-grain leather bag (especially the double Plissy that CF sells) would be way too heavy and burdensome for a man who actually walks with it. They have to be functional, not just be statement pieces.
Not to mention that a leather lining is INCREDIBLY difficult to clean; a canvas lining, in turn, absorbs any ink or fluid coming from a pen or whatever you keep in your bag, thus damaging the outer leather. Nylon, on the other hand, keeps the leather well insulated, is lighter and much easier to clean.
please carry on doing this i really enjoyed it. i’d also like to say could you cut into a frank clegg leather works bag?
Loving the crossovers from a couple of my favorite TH-camrs!
This is a fantastic collab. Complementary experience and skillsets.
If you want to cut apart a leather lined bag, get the Satchel and Page briefcases! Great quality
That‘s actually not too bad compared to some of the big luxury brand bags torn apart by Steve (Bedos).
I just checked out this video since I just heard about Carl Friedrik today and I was curious about the brand. This is an excellent, educational video and I'm so glad you made it. I totally agree with your assessment the entire bag should be made out of leather even if they means a price increase.
I'm very sorry that you didn't achieve the 300.000 mark this year... I'll try to support you even more. A few of my friends already subscribed to you and we all love your channel and your products! You've teached us very much about leather and I want to say thank you! Also, because of you I am in love with Red Wing and hopefully I'll get some of the 877 Moc Toes! Greetings from Austria!
Love the video. I like seeing some new leather products
2mm - 2.2mm thick leather on every piece of this bag, I didn’t realize until the video posted that I accidentally removed love that part (There was over an hour of Stridewise and myself talking back and forth ha ha)
But I was really surprised by the thickness of the leather because that’s as thick as most boot leather.
I’m really interested to hear what you guys think and if you think it’s worth it or not. I am 100% a novice when it comes to briefcases so I want to hear your thoughts and try to back it up with some reasoning if possible so we can all understand your perspective. Thanks!
I’d be interested to see what you think of Killspence’s briefcase. They’re hand made in Los Angeles.
Can we see toaster in more of the videos?
This collab is great!
I would love to own one their bags. And I have seen some reviews and they seem great.
I think the bag is just fantastic for the money. Yeah, it still is a bit expensive for some of us, but the quality of that bag is just amazing. Amd yeah, like you said you can nitpick some of the stuff to your liking, but not because of poor quality. So I think this bag is great, even though I'm not much of a briefcase guy. You should do more videos on their other bags, and maybe on other companies as well. Like Mahi Leather for example and such
Looks about right for a high quality bag like that. Very nice finishing and the stitching seems to be hand stitched quality out of the machine. I’m not surprised with the thickness of the leather given the price of the bag.
Definitely enjoy the expansion/variety of products
Got one of these but dark brown and I must say it hurt my heart to see this carnage
Man would love to see you cut up handbags. See is some of them really are worth the price. A lot of people say that Coach bags (which are way more affordable, $200-$500) are much higher quality that Louis Vuitton ($2,000-$5,000)
I have seen Bedos Leather cut them apart to fix. Then look like absolute junk. (L.V)
It's a great bag, I'm glad the interior isn't leather. With a laptop and keyboard inside it's already heavy enough! It's a great bag and one of the few reasons I miss going in to the office.
I agree. I would prefer leather lining too for longevity and I think the look and feel would be better. I have one of their wallets which is very good quality and looks great. Great review!
2 of my favorites doing a colab always nice :)
I have two of these bags. Both are my favorite. Nice to see the process.
I haven’t seen anyone do a cut in half of a Harley Davidson motor boot. Would love to see you do one!!
Piece at 12:00 that ads structure are called "Stays."
Was at the Nicks store in Spokane and heard some talk about your plans for an upcoming video with their boots. I CANT WAIT. Pretty cool to hear your company’s name in conversation at companies like Nicks.
Maybe because I have wanted to buy this bag for myself for a while now, but this is the first of your videos that made my heart break a little watching you dissect that bag.
I don't care about bags at all and somehow this one still made me cringe when I watched it. Can't explain what made this particular vid so much more painful, but it was.
Thank you gentlemen, this was very informative!
I’ve had and have some pretty high end bags and don’t recall leather lining
Great video. I can attest to the test of time on these. I actually have this bag when they operated under the name Opperman about 6-7 years ago and it still looks outstanding and I get compliments daily. I use my bag pretty carelessly by the way. Think airports thrown under seats, it’s been rained on, etc. have also never used any kind of leather conditioner…prob not a great idea. Great products.
I appreciate the review, my friend
I'd love to see you take apart the luxury Pad & Quill briefcase.
Can you review Dansko or Sanita nurses shoes???
I love to know what’s inside them
Yes, I wear / wore both in the kitchen.
That would be very cool!
I was thinking about getting this bag I had just looked it up and you popped up so I'm gonna watch your review thanks for doing it
Great video!
I think most people are not leather crafters and thus want a bag that fits the typical criteria (ie. doesn't need a leather interior).
If you wanted the interior lined with leather, what would you expect? And what would you line it with yourself (if it would be something different)?
Would like to see the corcoran original jump boot and tanker boot cut open. Also cutting open more redwing boots like their loggers would be great. Great channel!
This is my new favourite channel. Very addictive.
Nice looking bag on the outside. I do see the benefit of the non leather interior, but a leather lining would look amazing.
Really enjoying the cutting up on leather bags and other leather items, not just shoes!!!
A leather linning is a brilliant idea!
Two of my favorite channels 😷👍🥾💼
Holly cow.. finally
this definitely will help when we need a leather bag
I’d love to see Thursday Captain boots cut in half! That’s be so sick
At least I got an idea of the high-quality bag this is. I'll keep it in my wish list for now.
I really like this bag, seems to have a decent price. Any plans to review Marland leather? I have one and its holding up very well.
Taking an educated guess that this could be a 'corrected grain' hide. Its much cheaper than top grain and given that price it seems to make sense to me. Love the video!
Thanks for the great content mate really love it. I have a wonderful Japanese leather brief case made by Balistic spirit its model is BS-4826. It has such soft leather.
Please do more videos on cutting apart bags and accessories (wallets etc)!
How about doing an expensive $4000 brief case and let's see what you're pay'n the extra for.
Rose Anvil, I got a leather backpack and I've noticed that it stains my clothes, is there any tip or advice to reduce or eliminate this? Thanks.
I think lining choice would depend on if you are looking for a bag to keep for a really long time or just a nice piece to use for awhile. If I was looking for really long term use to possibly hand down one day I would prefer leather lining. If this was just one of many that I used as the mood struck then I think nylon is fine especially since it's lighter and more easily cleaned. Only downfall I see in nylon is that it's plastic and if you're plastic adverse then canvas would be a better choice. Overall I think it's just a choice like the upholstery in your car and doesn't really diminish the value very much.
I would love to see a video on what is in dubarry decks, since they are the shoe we are forced to wear in our school.
Hi there! I absolutely love your video here.. it would be interesting to see how you make a video talking about bag's edge paint and the making of flap bag :D
Id love to see you do a theleathershop moosebrand bag! I've been eyeing one for a while now and your thought are always appreciated👏
What do you do with all the scraps from the projects?
I'm Looking for a long lasting leather weekender. My H&M fakeleather one lasted over 5 years till the handles where bristle and now i bought a leather one for only 45€ but obviously the quality is similar than the H&M one i had.
The bags looks nice. I agree about the nylon lining. Not a fan of that.
As a beginner hobby leather worker, it is cool to see those other products (other than shoes) being deconstructed as well.
Congrats, seems like you are fully recovered from COVID
Love this. Please do the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Satchel bag in natural! 🤞🏼❤ I’d love to know what you guys think of Dooney’s leather. They are who exposed me to veg tan leather.
I guess this would be a briefcase series’s and if so could you do a video or review on an Italian brand that makes wallets-lawer bags and the brand is piquadro I think, they are famous for their unique color of the leather
You should do that sachel and page bag, it’s probably this bags best competitor
I reviewed one, albeit not by cutting it open: th-cam.com/video/vRbGX5c4C4Y/w-d-xo.html
Best asmr around, not gunna lie. At least my favorite.
Satchel and Page next? Their bags are lined with suede and their leather is gorgeous!
I bought one of their briefcases and returned it. I wasn't impressed at all. They may look beautiful on their site but in person.... Not so much.
@@jeanineireland6579 what model did you get and what didn't you like about it? I'm curious! I own several of their products and I love all of them!
@@nodieusa Not sure. I bought it for my boyfriend and it looked like some old man's briefcase in person. Gorgeous online grandpa in person.
I actually prefer the Nylon inside, it's light so when you open the bag up it's easier to see. Plus, less leather that I have to worry about conditioning.
Hopefully Nick took some Japanese Raw to review. It would be interesting to see what Weston says about them, since most of the time he isn’t shown wearing selvedge. I would love that vid.
Haha we had lots of talks about selvedge but Weston doesn't wear any just yet! He's lord of overalls though
I don’t know why I’ve been here watching this channel for about a month now .....maybe because I own some red wings but I’m fascinated with the craft
Check out Bedo's leatherworks channel. I have no idea how I got to this corner of YT but it is fascinating I agree.
Ok on it
What about the quality of the metal hardware? Material, plating, etc.?
great video review 👍
I think the zipperless pocket on the front is a little difficult to get into simply because if you've just chucked your keys in there for convenience they're less likely to fall out.
I see it more of a temporary pocket. You wouldn't put important stuff in there for the whole day, just a quick fix.
I don’t mind the nylon. We had shops in the UK like ‘world of leather’ where I feel it’s a little cheapened. Nylon provides a nice alternative interior.
You should totally cut a Coach bag apart. I have had a couple of bags from them, and they last amazingly well. Their prices are easily comparable to this briefcase.
7:55 Tokonole/gum also cracks, and not after 2 years. On items like wallets tokonole won't even last a couple months. Plus paint can be easily reapplied cause the edge is preserved. You won't be able to do much with edge finished with tokonole which started to worn apart.
So you’d say the edges on this product are fine and can be easily fixed down the road? I’m thinking about getting one.
I've had one for a couple of years in blue. Wish it was a bit longer though as it doesn't hold my work laptop
Agreed, can’t fit a 15” laptop which is pretty disappointing
You should try Satchel and Page bags!
So, while I agree about the leather lining in theory, I purchased (a-bite a far cheaper) messenger bag and it had the leather interior, which in my case turned out to be the interior side of the main leather bag construction (although quick thick and substantial). I ran into (2) issues with this build. Firstly, the interior leather stained folders and paper that I stored in the messenger bag, and it even stained the corners of my MacBook pro. The second reason was that the bag had major issues standing up with no laptop in it to give it that firm structure. So my preference would likely be to have a cotton fabric liner in place of that nylon, just as nylon is very cheap looking on that bag and really brings down the look and ascetic. of it.
Will adding additional leather lining weighs a lot more than nylon ones?
Yes.
Can you review Viberg or Korchmar? Thanks and many blessings!
Cutting things apart besides leather boots? That’s a pretty cool twist on the formula. Muck? Lacrosse? I hope he tries cutting apart some winter boots next!
Love this video thanks!
Been subscribed for quite some time. Love what you do.
Any chance you could trace the main leather parts and get a few measurements for me.
Wife and I work with leather as just a hobby.
Thank you,
Scott
P.S. loved when you upgraded that boot. Very nice work. Way beyond me. Ha
