Know before you buy
The laptop sleeve is designed to accommodate devices up to 15 inches, with internal dimensions measuring 13.5 inches by 8 inches. Please verify your specific laptop's dimensions against these measurements to ensure a proper fit.
Full-grain buffalo leather is prized for its durability and unique pebble grain texture. As you use the bag, the leather will develop a rich patina, meaning it will look better and more character-filled the longer you own it.
Yes, the bag includes an adjustable 2-inch wide shoulder strap designed to distribute weight evenly across your shoulder. The strap is also removable if you prefer to carry the bag solely by the reinforced leather top handle.
The main compartment is spacious enough for daily essentials, including travel gear, notebooks, and chargers. It also features dedicated interior organization, such as pen holders and a tablet sleeve, to keep your smaller items secure.
Because it is full-grain leather, it is naturally resilient. We recommend occasionally wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth and using a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep the material supple and protected.
The Roosevelt Pilot Bag features four exterior pockets, providing ample space for items you need to reach quickly, such as your phone, keys, or travel documents, without having to open the main compartment.
