Advised my mom to buy this for my husband last yr. for his b.day -- it's now 1 1/2 yrs. old. He has carried it EVERY day since to work, and when traveling it's his carry on. It still looks great, has held up well even w/lots of stuff jammed in there, and while this might sound silly to guys, he's had 3 men ask him where he got it (and a bunch of guys tell him how much they like it). As someone said, it IS the perfect guy bag. I'm now ordering another one, so many yrs. from now when this one finally *does* give out, I can surprise him!
