thanks for trying so hard silenius, but no again. I am thinking of more of an old dispatch bag, just one layer leather, all just leather and metal. Old style. When times were simpler. ---

My old one from [Wilson’s leather](http://www.wilsonsleather.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1831989&cp=1855609) is among my favorites… it isn’t listed here any more, but that comes as no surprise, as I’ve had it for nearly 10 years now. Still functional, and in use, and sitting on my desk 2.5 feet from me right now. good luck… =Butler [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-to-buy-a-bag/286865.md?page=2)
