Jack Spade | Drill Nylon Slim Turnpike Briefcase | $395
First things first: Yes, $395 seems incredibly steep for a nylon briefcase. But I don’t post this necessarily as a recommendation (unless you’ve got more money than you know what to do with), but to provide an example of what I’ve been thinking about lately… I’ve been thinking about the fact that if I’m going to become a lawyer—a highly likely possibility!—I am going to have to give up the backpack and start toting a briefcase. In fact, I should probably do that before I pass the bar… I look like an idiot every time I wear a backpack with a suit, whether I’m a lawyer or not. Regardless, I don’t want a totally boring briefcase. There’s really only so much you can do with a briefcase, though. I like this one because it plays around with the materials involved but, yeah, it’s hardly the most exciting thing ever. Oh well.
