My grandson's graduation ceremony from law school is next month and I want to give him a nice, but not ostentatious leather briefcase for a present. If it makes a difference, he is specializing in criminal defense. I know we have many attorneys here and I trust forum member's input. I would like suggestions on which one to get him in the $200-$650 range. I will probably be ordering from Amazon. Thank you in advance for your input. *Sigs, HKs, S&W PerfCntr, Caspian, Dan Wessons, Clark, Wilson Combat, Kahrs, CZ SP01 Shadow, Desert Eagle, Les Baers, Ed Brown, Pythons* NRA Benefactor Member U.S.M.C. | ||

I would suggest a Saddleback leather briefcase. I use the thin front pocket briefcase, but there are many different sizes, styles, and colors available. Be careful with the larger sizes and styles - they get pretty huge and some of them (like the classic leather briefcase, in my opinion) are bit too unwieldy for courtroom/office use. Mine is similar in size to a traditional hard sided brief case - big enough to carry my laptop, a few files, and some misc. odds and ends. Good quality full-grain leather, tough as nails, not flashy or ostentatious, but nice. | |||

Thank you. This is the kind of advice I was hoping for. Saddleback has been high on my list. *Sigs, HKs, S&W PerfCntr, Caspian, Dan Wessons, Clark, Wilson Combat, Kahrs, CZ SP01 Shadow, Desert Eagle, Les Baers, Ed Brown, Pythons* NRA Benefactor Member U.S.M.C. | |||

Check out sureshot45's briefcase. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Thanks, but looking for something more classic/conservative. *Sigs, HKs, S&W PerfCntr, Caspian, Dan Wessons, Clark, Wilson Combat, Kahrs, CZ SP01 Shadow, Desert Eagle, Les Baers, Ed Brown, Pythons* NRA Benefactor Member U.S.M.C. | |||

I have this from Coronado leather: https://coronadoleather.com/co.../americana-ceo-am200 It’s a fantastic briefcase. Lawyers and judges all complement me on it. It even has a CCW compartment that works quite well. Edited to add: Check the NRA store. My wife got mine there. Rather than Bison leather it was cow leather. There was a substantial savings without a drop in quality. __________________________ | |||

My SBL large briefcase from around 2008 still looking great and strong like bull! Get the thin version as a starter kit to what will be a lifetime of collecting!  ___________________________ He looked like an accountant or a serial-killer type. Definitely one of the service industries. | |||

Saddlebacks are awesome. Also agree on the thin front pocket briefcase. Great choice. I like the lighter (Tobacco) color. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Saddleback’snew “flight bag” is gorgeous and more reasonably priced than their briefcases. I’ve had their large briefcase for almost a decade now. The flightbag is the first offering they’ve had that has tempted me to replace my original. _________________________________________ I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew... | |||

I agree with a nice leather satchel. For me personally, I prefer quick access, especially to the pen storage. I don't care for slower buckles. Any of those would be an exceptional present and much nicer than most start with. | |||

Thanks! His clients will be giving him enough "yos" and "homies" I'm sure. *Sigs, HKs, S&W PerfCntr, Caspian, Dan Wessons, Clark, Wilson Combat, Kahrs, CZ SP01 Shadow, Desert Eagle, Les Baers, Ed Brown, Pythons* NRA Benefactor Member U.S.M.C. | |||

| Let's be careful out there |
if he's going to do criminal defense, a couple of sheets of kevlar backing a rifle plate might be a useful addition. | |||
