Very sharp looking. Worth the wait!

This bag is extremely well made. It solves every problem that I have had with bags in the past: it doesn't wear on my clothes (the shoulder strap isn't backed with harsh fabric) and it doesn't have any weak points that will wear out quickly (zippers or thin areas). This bag looks great and smells great too. I have recieved multiple compliments, but best of all it is built to last. And last it shall.

I wanted a bag.
Had to be full grain leather
from American Cows
made by American hands.

This narrowed it down to only a few makers and Go Forth had the designs I liked the most.

The Cooper is a special bag. Uses Thick Latigo leather. Beautifully executed.

You should note that because of the thick leather that this bag is heavy. I have the Stephen bag with thinner leather and it’s much lighter. I gave the Stephen to one of my sons. I kept the Cooper for myself (hint).

I have it in mocha. Looks better in person than in pictures.

Fits my laptop with plenty of room for other stuff.

I typically don’t buckle the straps to allow for easy access when walking or in general.

Every day with normal wear and tear I put small marks into the leather which will give it a nice patina down the road. I look forward to a few decades of breaking it in so I can gift it to a son or grandson ( or great grandson)

You will not find a better quality product or one that is made with better care and attention to detail.

I wish that the product came when I asked, but I understand that you all have limited staff. I liked the look, style, and craftsmanship of the product.

Love this briefcase! Very sturdy and nice looking. I get comments all the time like “nice looking briefcase.”

First off let me say what an amazingly awesome job GFG and Nathan the owner do at giving a true "wow!" experience in their customer service!! Second to none! Now on to the craftsmanship in this Cooper Satchel: Superb!!! Wonderful leather. Thick 10-11 oz. Latigo feeling leather that just looks so gorgeous. The attention to detail, the extra reinforced stitching, the leather washers next to the hand peened rivets... I could go on and on. My 14 in MacBook Pro fits perfectly in the rear interior pocket made for it. Crafted by Adam, who clearly has some of the most mad skills as a leather artisan, this bag is going to last for ages to come. They even kindly agreed to do some minor custom requests for me. I hope they feel great about their company and what they do: the joy and satisfaction and tremendous value all add up to one awesome company mission and one very happy customer. Do Good they indeed do. I am grateful and happy. So great to see a company that sells terrific products and does it with such style and grace.

Having traveled with backpacks for twenty plus years, I was hesitant to switch to a premier briefcase. After only my first trip with it, I knew it was the best decision. The workmanship on this bag sets the high-water mark for any other producer attempting to emulate what Go Forth Goods creates. My co-worker has a product from one of the other companies - we compared stitching, riveting, hardware, quality of leather and usefulness of design. He wished he had seen these before buying the one he has.

I evaluate nuclear plants. For several years, I carried my papers, notes and laptop in a backpack. When I presented my report to a nuclear plants management, I would throw my bag under the desk to hide it away — it was slightly embarrassing.

Then when i saw the craftsmanship, care and beauty that went into a Go forth good Cooper Satchel, I knew it would be a game changer for me.

Now when i go to nuclear plants I am confident and proudly present my findings with the Cooper Satchel by my side.

Once again Go Forth Goods has hit the nail on the head with a product that satisfies both form and function. This is not the first product that I’ve purchased from Go Forth Goods and it will not be the last.

I purchased the Cooper Satchel because my current laptop bag was too small for my business needs. I was looking for something that would be large enough to hold a standard sized laptop and an accordion expandable file pocket to support the many documents I have to travel with. This bag handles both with ease. There is also plenty of room for the standard laptop accessories that accompany those extended business trips.

Like all of Go Forth Goods products the Cooper Satchel is hand crafted with care in an old world style. As such, great care is taken to ensure quality work is done. It is made with quality leather and is very durable. This is a bag that I have confidence will last my lifetime and that I will be able to hand down to my kids to use. That is not something that many people these days say about other bags. In addition the style is uniquely sophisticated, simple and clean. I receive complements on this bag everywhere I go and I know you will as well.
