I've gotten to the point in my career where I can legitimately start coming to work with a briefcase. It's been a long-time coming, my tatty laptop bag covered in cat hair and smelling of student life has seen better days.

Anyway, my question is how do I find a good one and what should you even look for in a briefcase? It's all so new to me that I don't even know what brands are decent.

1) Why would you want a briefcase when people earning over 100 snaps do just fine with a high-range laptop bag?

2) What do you expect to be carrying in your briefcase? Do you or do you not expect to be carrying a laptop? If so, would you be toting two bags on the tube / bus / tram / whatever you troglodytes outside of the m25 have.

3) why the fuck do you want a briefcase? Have you recently traveled back in time? Are you winning a bet? Have you recently passed the bar and need something to go with the braces and bow-tie?

In all seriousness just go into the square mile and ask someone in a Ronald Morteson shetland lambswool sweater that looks like it costs about twice your yearly income, and does, and very politely ask the chap where one might perchance purchase a briefcase of distinction.

Failing such a discerning eye just pop down to Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row and make sure you have your overdraught turned on.

Off the peg suit wanker.

My gut feeling is that it won't suit you and you'll look silly.

I suggest a more reasonable approach, like a leather messenger.

The briefcase is essentially the fedora of middle management. Would not recommend.

Most business wankers these days seem to use backpacks rather than briefcases, so they look like they're still private school wankers in their suits.

A briefcase is less useful than a good quality messenger or satchel bag. Look for something made from full-grain leather - "genuine leather" is an almost meaningless catch-all term that describes a lot of products that are mostly polyurethane. You want to see natural imperfections like wrinkles and scratches on the leather; anything with a perfectly consistent texture is just plastic-coated suede.

I bought a briefcase years ago and I've never found a use for it. I can't think of the job that would possibly warrant one nowadays. I almost had a use for it once as part of a costume.

I'm not sure why but I'm curious about why briefcases are considered impractical for most suit-wearing-cunt jobs? What is it that an experienced suit cunt looks for in a suit cunt personal and work related storage and transport solution?

The limit is in the free use of hands. I can't hold a briefcase an umbrella my copy of the FT and my mobile phone all at the same time.

Backpacks are the done thing now in the city. Also if you want to be a super cunt you cycle to work and a briefcase just puts you off balance.

The FT goes under your elbow and your phone goes in the inside pocket. Fuck's sake lad, put some effort in.

Inside pocket? Inside fucking pocket? How will people know I have the latest iPhone within a month of release and how much more busy and important my life is unless I walk around holding it to my ear when I'm not using it for emails whilst walking into traffic? I suppose you'd say Bluetooth but then people don't see it. I'd have to then get an omega watch instead and constantly pull up my sleeve slightly.

Pleb tier m8. Serious wankers get their shirts tailored with one sleeve slightly shorter than the other.

I know you're both joking but if your shirt is tailored properly you won't have this problem.

I'm totally not joking. Decent tailors will always ask about your watch preferences to allow enough room in the cuff; a lot of guys choose to have half an inch less sleeve length on their watch arm so that their watch is more visible.

If you're on a six figure income you can probably afford to hire a school leaver on minimum wage to just carry stuff around for you. Hell, you can probably get a graduate to do it for free, and call it an internship.

If you're really flamboyant, you wear your watch over the cuff, Agnelli style.

It could end up being straight up profitable if you hired them as an apprentice. You could get paid by the government for it, as long as you pretended to teach them about business or something while they trail behind you with your groceries.
