Rothco Vintage Urban Pioneer Laptop Bag

I wanted a canvas briefcase for laptop and papers. The bag arrived on time and I was disappointed on receipt for the following reasons:

a) Bag had cotton fibers and a funny smell as if stored in damp conditions for long time moldy.

b) The padding for the laptop was nonexistent on one side. So only a thin canvas layer between the laptop and outside world.

c) The way the bag is made, the it hangs lopsided if carried by the handle. The weight of the papers and laptop in the bag in relation to the handle twists the briefcase to one side.

d) One can't carry the bag unless the hook is closed and the hook closing required a two handed exercise in frustration .

e) The zips are pretty low quality plastic and I am not sure they will stand the wear and tear of regular use.

f) The inside zippered compartment has extremely this cotton.

One review that I read about this bag mentioned "tons of pockets!" Unfortunately, that was the review that clenched it for me and I purchased the bag. Well, in my Laptop Bag World, 5 pockets does not cut it. The canvas is heavy and durable, the clasp somewhat strange. It seems sturdy and big enough, but with my usage, it could break within the year.

I would put this bag, realistically, at a $25.00 retail value.

I really like the materials used (canvas and leather), and the appearance and feel of the bag is quite nice. My favorite features are the leather bottom and leather handle. However, the laptop pocket is only padded on the inside wall that divides it from the second full-size pocket. There is no padding in the outer wall of the bag where it would be most needed. There are only two zippered pockets: one small one on the outside that is just tall enough to hold pens/markers/pencils, and one medium-size pocket inside that I'm using for adapters, thumb drives, and the like. There are two deep, narrow pockets that are open at the top on the front of the bag, under the flap. I use those for larger items like the power adapter, that I don't worry will fall out.

It will suffice, but I wish it had more pockets that close.

I got this bag to lug around heavy college books. Works out great. Very druable. The clasp is sometimes a little bothersome...its not the easiest to close with one hand. Other than that...i really like this bag. Very happy with purchase.
