Know before you buy
Yes, the Jackson comes with a dedicated, removable padded sleeve specifically designed to accommodate most 15-inch laptops.
The bag features a full-length, polished brass zipper that runs along the perimeter. This allows the briefcase to open completely, letting it lay flat for easier packing and access to your items.
The bag features retractable handles that tuck away when not in use. They are designed for a comfortable grip, though you can also use the included adjustable, detachable shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.
No, this bag is crafted from full-grain, mill-dyed American leather, which is not water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or moisture to preserve the quality and finish of the leather.
The Jackson features a clean, minimalist aesthetic and does not include any exterior pockets. All organization is contained within the interior, which includes dedicated pen holders and a tablet sleeve.
