Aluminium or leather for an attache case?Paired with a suit. Prefer the metal but not sure if it looks weird.
I'm an attorney. Trust me when I tell you briefcases are a thing of the past and you look weird as hell if you have one.I personally haven't seen once since I was a little kid, and, like I said, I work in a profession where it was common.
>>18188852How do you carry papers/laptop?
>>18188857He probably carries a gay backpack like a little schoolboy.
>>18188835>AluminiumZero haliburton briefcases are dank. Some great quality used ones on ebay shipping out of japan
>>18188881God that looks like shit
>>18188852that's honestly a shameimagine hiring a lawyer and he pulls up with a gay satchel or god forbid a backpack with a fucking macbook insidethis country has gone to shit
>>18188857>>18188881No backpack, although it's common for attorneys to have them nowadays. Classy guys like me use messenger bags.
>>18188835b a l l i s t i c nylon...looks sharp, wears well.
>>18188944>nylonNot OP, but get a canvas or a leather messenger bag.
>>18188945why? just the look? i have higher end bags made of both and don't see one as better than the other just apples and oranges. >nylon canvas is much stronger, can be made thicker, and is a bit longer lasting>cotton canvas gets a cool patina over time, and wear/tear improves the look>both are widely available with leather hardware picrel a nylon bag
>>18188945>canvasnylon can be woven into a canvas too the only difference really is its way way way stronger.
>>18188857Backpack if you also need to carry stationery, notebooks, equipment, and a packed lunch. Courier bag if you don't.
>>18188997Gonna have to doubt your judgement on that.
>>18188835Leather - with a top flap as opposed to a hinges opening at the bottom - is more versatile and imo generally looks both a bit more relaxed and more upper-class (if that's something you care about). Also generally wears better over time. But really your personal tastes should guide you more than anything else.Also, feel free to ignore >>18188852 . Many professions still have folks carrying briefcases, and even if they don't nobody's going to look askance at you carrying a briefcase unless you're in manual labor or something like that.
>>18188857Man now carry giant women's bags.
>>18189830so you're saying no briefcase I can carry will ever look as dorky as a normoid?
>>18188835Aluminum would look a little outdated. Like the other guy said. I have a leather briefcase that's kind of like this without the two vertical straps. I'm in finance.No ones going to judge you (in a way that would impact you) for wearing a backpack though.
>>18189779>Many professions still have folks carrying briefcasesThis is false.
>>18190918Differences in the prevalence of briefcases are probably more based on regional norms than different jobs. A blanket statement that nobody anywhere carries briefcases anymore is simply wrong.
>>18188852I'm an attorney and use a black leather briefcase. Not in US though
>>18188835>>18188945I got myself a Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase for the office. Usually use it as a briefcase most of the time, in deep winter I use it as a messenger bag
Did anyone ever actually use aluminium cases outside of movies?I kind of dig them but can't imagine anyone ever using them.
>>18191386Rimowa is one of the most prestigious brands in the world so yes.
>>18188835if you see somebody with a briefcase chanses are they are carrying a collection of dildos
