Screw the overpriced watch. Get the recent grad in your life this bag as a graduation gift, and you’ll make an impact for life. It’s more than an appropriate gift for the business world they’re about to enter, and that next big adventure they’re about to embark on.
From the 1850 collection by Johnston & Murphy, this thing has it all. Water repellent canvas sides, deep leather accents, and a shape that looks like it fell right out of Tombstone
It comes with an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, plus the saddle straps are adjustable so you can change the size of the bag. Is it a little big to be used as a business case? Maybe. At 19″ long, it is 3″ longer than Johnston & Murphy’s most popular brief. But, c’mon, if you had it… wouldn’t you find some way to use it every day?
Screw the graduate. Get it for yourself.

This bag is beautiful. This is going on my ‘gifts for myself’ list.
It is rare that I think a bag is beautiful but this one is in a league of its own.

Just purchased this. Let’s see how it will look once I get it.
Update: The JM came today and it’s strikingly handsome. It looks even better in person. You can tell the quality is high. The leather is actually darker than in the above picture. The canvas is not actually black but a dark charcoal, but all in all, it just make it a more masculine & handsome carry-on. I just wish it was smaller so I can use it as a business briefcase because it’s just too larger to use everyday. I”m debating on whether to return or keep since it’s too big for everyday use. However, if this discontinues, one may not find another replacement. Funny how I match the description as a new college graduate going in the business world. I think I may keep it.
