    Great everyday bag

    This was my first Tom Bihn purchase and I am impressed. I like to carry a full size book with me and this fits the bill. Plenty of room for my wallet, keys, pens, small notebook, and my book. Chapstick, hand sanitizer, etc go in a mystery pouch in the front. Hard to imagine a feature they missed. Great customer service - already ordered a new work bag due to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Thanks, TB!

    compact and usable

    This is a very neatly designed bag. A built in tablet sleeve would have been nice but that's okay
