No 83 Book Bag

Watch a video of the Colonel and the No 83 Book Bag in the Colonel's downtown Lynnville office.

I naturally tend to gravitate toward items with a military history, as I am an ardent admirer of their precision, rugged good looks and adaptability for the task at hand. When a WWII military officer carried the antique military briefcase in my personal collection, I’m sure he wasn’t thinking "laptop." However, if you fast forward 70 years you’ll find me inspired to make a laptop bag with a definite nod to this piece of military history.

Of course, the bag can be used as a traditional brief bag; however, I designed it big enough to accommodate your laptop, all your laptop paraphernalia, iPad® and all that other "stuff" you haul around.

Made in the Col. Littleton Workshop of brown dry-milled American steer hide with polished leather trim. Adjusting strap at the inside top enables you to adjust side panels in or out. Working buckle front closure can also be snapped for convenience. Solid brass hardware. Copper tube spine on top equally distributes the weight of the bag while accommodating the adjustable, removable shoulder strap and carrying handle.

Inside divider separates laptop from other contents. Inside pocket for iPad®. Inside dimensions are 12"H x 17 1/2"W x 4"D. Solid brass serial-numbered I.D. plate under front flap.

May be personalized for $10 with three initials on the brass oval plate on the front flap. Please indicate the 3 initials, if any, to be engraved on the brass tag.
