Hi all,

So I got a company anniversary gift and I'm looking to buy a computer briefcase that meets certain (admittedly tough) conditions:

"Non negotiable"

  • Lifetime warranty/satisfaction
  • Avoid corporate drone look
  • 2 handles (i.e. 1 handle on each side of the briefcase)
  • Slim(ish)
  • ~$150 ($200 would already exceed)

Preferred

  • Leather (full or in parts, but willing to "exchange" for great fabric/canvas)

I travel frequently, so any pro-travel feature is welcome

I'm currently looking at

  • LL Bean's Sportsman (maybe too preppy, but fine with the model) http://ift.tt/2t11KAx
  • LL Bean Heritage Waxed Canvas (would love leather pads to protect and luggage pass-through) http://ift.tt/2tJWVbJ
  • Tom Bihn Cadet (a bit too corp drone look, but considering the non-traditional colors I'm ok) http://ift.tt/2tF5bvc

Additional notes

  • Would love to have a Briggs & Riley option but they scream Corp drone.
  • Already have a timbuk2 backpack and a messenger bag, I like their warranty, not necessarily their service.
  • I love LL Bean, I know their warranty and service are stellar.
  • I really like Tom Bihn's founder model (style and functionality) but too expensive

So, what do BIFL'ers recommend?

  • LL Bean, Tom Bihn or is there any other option?
  • And is Tom Bihn's service/warranty as good as LL Bean's?

*edit: added questions/clarifications
