Recently purchased a Thomas briefcase. I was skeptical initially because to me Billingham makes the best looking and build quality camera/ utility bags but not leisure/ work bags. Until the navy canvas launched, I take the plunge :) Very happy so far but there are some tiny room for improvements hopefully in Ver. 2.0. The stitches of the handles can be higher probably align with the logo patch so the handles wont collapse and get folded when the leather and canvas are worn in. Adding a stitched down snap button leather loop for the handles can be another good option.
