It’s Built to Move

Whether you spend your days steering planes or meetings, The Pilot is everything you (didn’t even know) you needed in a leather messenger bag.

It’s designed to go the distance, whether that’s down the road for beer or three, or to New York for a business meeting.

It’s the Definition of Quality

Handcrafted by artisans using extra-thick buffalo leather – accompanied by premium brass magnetic closures – this buffalo leather briefcase is the perfect blend of breathability, durability, and long-lasting functionality.

And by long-lasting, we mean, like, forever.

It’s Spacious AF

Contrary to popular belief, men need space too.

Especially the modern man who can’t travel anywhere without his laptop, iPad, phone, keys, wallet, mints…spare socks?

You’ve got stuff for days, and you need a safe, spacious space to get it from A to B. And that’s exactly what The Pilot gives you.

It’s Versatile

Designed to fit a laptop of up to 16”, this genuine leather messenger bag also features two separate canvas-lined interior compartments.

A clever interior organizing system offers plenty of room for life’s essentials, with easy access for when you need them the most.

FAQ

Find all the answers you need to enjoy our premium leather goods with confidence. Explore our FAQs to learn about our high-quality materials, easy returns, free shipping, and more.

What type of leather are your bags made from?

Our bags are made from a range of quality full grain and top grain leathers. Our leathers are renowned for their durability, rich texture, and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time.

How do I care for your leather bags?

To keep our bags looking their best, we recommend regular conditioning with a leather cream and avoiding prolonged exposure to water. For more information, read our leather care guide.

What is your return and exchange policy?

We offer hassle-free returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right.

Do you offer a warranty or guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. We’re confident in the quality of our products and want you to shop with peace of mind.

How long does shipping take, and is it free?

Your order will be processed within 1-2 days, and then delivery typically takes 2-5 days. Best of all, shipping is free to the contiguous US, UK, and Canada.

Can I personalize or customize my leather bag?

While we don’t offer monogramming, our high-quality leather products can easily be personalized by a local leatherworker for a custom touch.

Will my device fit?

To check if your device fits any product:

1. Measure diagonally across your screen (only the screen, not the frame or edges).
2. Round down to the nearest whole inch (e.g., 15.6” becomes 15”).
3. If your measurement is equal to or smaller than the size given on the product page, your device will fit. If larger, consider a different bag size.

Example: A 14-inch laptop will fit any bag labeled for up to 15-inch devices.

Will this bag fit me?

Our leather bags are designed for all body sizes, with adjustable shoulder and backpack straps available on our leather goods.

Real leather is naturally heavier, so we’ve made the straps easy to adjust for maximum comfort and effortless carrying.
