Review on Stylish And Functional Leather Man Purse Shoulder Bag For Work - Jack&Chris Men'S Crossbody Messenger Bags by Kenneth Witte

I just received this a few days ago, and my initial impressions are very favorable. As far as looks go, I've gotten several unsolicited compliments. I think it looks masculine without being in-your-face about it. It seems to be very well made--good leather, high quality stitching, etc. It's not real big, so don't expect to use it for a weekend getaway, but it holds my journal, stationery, and a moderately-thick book, plus pens, markers, my smart phone charger and other small odds and ends comfortably in well-place and nicely-sized pockets. I'm sure it will accommodate Kindles, tablet computers and the like quite well, but be aware that it has no padding except for the thick leather. The strap is a little narrower than I would like, but I guess it is well-proportioned for the bag, and that's a matter of taste--has nothing to do with quality. As far as the color rubbing off on clothing issue goes, the manufacturer does acknowledge the issue and recommends wiping it down with a soft cloth periodically for the first few days. I have had no issue with color rubbing off on my clothes. Overall, a high-quality item, at least initially. If I'm still impressed after a year, I'll come back and give it that fifth star.
