CLASSIC VINTAGE LAWYER'S BRIEFCASE
Made in the USA from Buff Cowhide
Made in the USA from Buff Cowhide
A very good friend of mine is one of the top Constitutional attorneys in the United States, with a US Supreme Court win under his belt. He uses a case just like this, both for trial appearances and when he's travelling for one or two days.
I asked him why he doesn't use a (frankly) better case, such as a Swaine, Adeney, Brigg. His response was simple: Vintage cases like this one are just far cooler, and when you're arguing a case in, say, Texas, you don't want the judge to see you as "the DC attorney with the $1,000 English attache case". You want her to see you as "the public interest lawyer with the good ol' American cowhide briefcase just like Daddy used to have".
So, if you'd like to look like a real Constitutional attorney, or a college professor (in a real subject, like Philosophy, or History), or just someone who appreciates good ol' fashioned American briefcases, this is for you!
Made from Genuine Deep Buff Cowhide (It says so right on the label!) this likely dates from the 1960s. It has contrasting top stitching, a brass lock, three interior compartments, and brass protectors on the base. It hasn't been babied, and so it has the usual scuffs and patina and minor surface wrinkles of a properly used vintage briefcase. It's in Very Good condition, and a bargain at
just $49, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
Length: 18
