ClaireChase Ultimate Man Bag

Once beyond keys and wallet in my pocket I decided to carry a "bag" not to drop things out of my pocket. Size is comfortable to carry. Leather and construction quality excellent. All pockets zippered. Has handle along with shoulder strap, which I find I am using more than strap. My second Claire Chase product. I like this one better because it is somewhat bigger and can hold more stuff.

I'm a guy. I don't carry a purse! Not until last summer. I learned of the utility of a "man bag" from our tour guide in Croatia a year ago. I carry my cash, cards (in a small separate card holder), iPad mini, sketchbook (5"x7"), audio recorder, external mic, ear buds, sport camera, SD card holder, tape measure, cell phone, business cards, & 3 pens. I bought a caribiner to hang my keys from the metal link for the carry strap and had my shoe repair guy sew a pocker for my small "dumb phone." It's all there. The only thing I carry in my pocket is loose change. It's perfect for me. If I designed it myself, I'd add a segmented credit card pocket and pen loops on the inside.

Very thick, very stiff, and worst of all, poorly made: seams do not match, sewing is sloppy, threads are everywhere that were not cut off, and the inside cell phone pocket is upside down... in fact that whole panel inside was put in upside down which makes one of its nice features totally useless. And this is supposed to be a high quality product! I don't think so. Strap is nice and long and zipper fobs are nice quality with the brand name on them. Obviously I got a defective item though no real fault of the shipper. I have reordered a black one and will update the review when I get that one.

I got the black one and it is a world different. It is nicely made, softer, no threads, all pockets and zippers are correct. So I have upgraded my rating to 4-stars.
