Carry the essentials and nothing else. The Roosevelt Satchel Messenger Bag in dark oak is a clean, structured leather satchel built from full-grain water buffalo leather, the same thick, rugged hide used across the Roosevelt collection. It holds a 15-inch laptop in a padded sleeve, keeps your daily carry organized across multiple pockets, and gets better looking with every day of use.
The interior is lined in green waxed canvas, easy to wipe clean and resistant to snags and stains. Antique brass and iron hardware throughout, YKK zippers, and a detachable, adjustable 2-inch padded leather strap.
Dark oak is the deeper, more uniform brown in the Roosevelt lineup. It ages with quiet character, developing a rich patina at the stress points and strap attachment over time. The choice for the man who wants his leather to earn its look.
