As very practical and beautiful satchel. Its construction gives it an instant image of high quality and durability. I recommend it to anyone.
Seriously indestructable, beautiful bag. The quality is second to none, and I've been a long-time Filson customer...this bag out-qualities their stuff hands-down. But...(there's always SOMETHING, right?)... I just wish it was a smidge taller to better accommodate my iPad pro 12.9. The device fits, but it causes the cover flap to sit higher, which in turn causes the top handle to be shifted backwards. Not really a problem per se, just a small adjustment that could add to this already-fabulous piece of leatherwork. If I were doing it over, I would get the 'Thirteener' for better iPad fit while maintaining a relatively small overall profile.
This is my new best friend when traveling abroad. The DCB goes great with my beat up Rimowa Topas luggage, it gives the appearance of the seasoned traveler look, with a minimalist touch. This smal satchel holds all my basic needs when traveling, my big wallet, the coin holder, passport, sun/eyeglasses and other misc items. Besides you don’t want to put to much in it or then it becomes too heavy even as a crossbody. So fellow travelers go ahead and pull the trigger on this bag, you won’t regret it... I can’t wait for my next trip to wear it....oh yeah be prepared for the compliments galore from all walks of life young and old. Next purchase will be the water bag or one of the other duffels, can’t decide which one I want. That’s why these reviews are so important, it helps with decision process. Thank you Dave and keep of the good work.
I'm a 5'5'' female who is enjoying the bag. I like the dark coffee brown but wonder about the other colors. It was hard to pick. I mainly use the bag to hold my big leather wallet (chestnut), sun glasses, phone, charger, ear buds, Saddleback's simple coin purse, and some times water. The two inside side pockets are handy for a pen, pencil, and small field notes. I clip my keys to the D ring where the strap attaches. My phone is usually in the outside back pocket. I feel comfortable wearing the bag when dressed casually. I will caution people that the dcb scratches at the slightest touch. Finally, I wish something could be done about the long "tail" that hangs from the shoulder strap because of where I have it buckled.
I own multiple Saddleback Leather products from the slim wallet to the 15" medium slim briefcase to the larger Waterbag. The Indiana Satchel in chestnut met the high expectations I have come to expect from this company. Dave et al have done an amazing job. As a physician, I use this on my daily rounds. It houses my iPad pro, charging accessories, paperwork, a portable ultrasound and my stethoscope. I get plenty of compliments on it. The leather is still stiff, but I bet it'll soften up nicely over time. My only gripe is that unlike my briefcase, it does not have a little key holder or extra D-rings to attach stuff to. I suppose this allows for the light weight nature of the bag and the clean look. Its worth every penny (and probably a few more)
