Yeasy fix, but annoying considering the pricepoint. Other than that, the quality of the materials is very good. There is plenty of tartan inner lining, waxed canvas, leather and some polyester I think inside some of the pockets.\n\nDepending on what you consider the bag for, you should choose yourself, but a fair warning, Barbour Leather Briefcase is not that spacious.
