This briefcase is near perfect, I used it for a 3 day conference and just haven't had a need for it since. If you know anything about Filson, you know this is an excellent find! I took the strap off and used one that coordinated with my outfit, and now the original strap has been on my dog's bag, and I'm keeping it there. The wear doesn't match this briefcase anymore anyway, and I've adjusted the price accordingly. In the last pic you'll see a faint pen mark, you've really got to look hard to find it.
