Updated 02/13/22.

Here at The Real Leather Company, we’re all about bucking expectations and redefining what it means to be a bloke. We don’t like to be put into boxes. Rather, we prefer to throw the box out and draw our own lines.

Are you serious about defining yourself from the pack?

You are a modern man: Tech-savvy and of the 21^st century. We know you like to do things a little differently than those who came before you. You’re a trailblazer and a maverick. You don’t let expectations of what it means to be a man get to you. You carve your own path through the jungle.

With plenty of compartments, high-end builds, and an unparalleled professional status, our bags are meant for the men of the world who know they stand out.

Picking a bag of your own is a task that requires diligence. Every man needs something different out of their purchase. To make the process of choosing your new leather bag that much easier, we’ve prepared the ultimate guide to purchasing your very own men’s shoulder bag.

Are you ready to learn the tricks of the macho trade and make the manliest purchase?

Buying a man’s shoulder bag is an arduous undertaking. It is no secret that leather bags run onto the costly side, so deciding where to spend your hard-earned cash is a choice that should take a good, hard think. We want to help you make that choice by showing you precisely what you should keep your eyes peeled for.

We believe your hard-earned cash should be spent on a bag that won’t weather at the hands of time. Something that can last decades without losing its quality. Think of your soon-to-be bag as your most loyal lifestyle companion. You need a bag that not only looks expensive, but is also practical and strong – just like you – whether you’re working or out in the field or sitting in an office.

To make your guide to buying a premium quality leather shoulder bag easy, we’ve laid out the main components to consider. By studying this guide and the products available on The Real Leather Company’s digital storefront, you will be a simple click away from making the choice best suited to your needs!

Without further ado, here’s what you need to look out for when making your investment.

1. STYLE IS ALWAYS KING

So, what look is it that you’re going for? Are you a Jim Halpert, working in an office with the need for a bag that’s practical in an interior environment? Are you a whip-cracking archeologist with an insatiable appetite for adventure? If so, you likely need something more rugged that can withstand the natural environment.

Making a call over your style is integral to defining who you are to those around you. The saying often goes that the shoes make the man. What you wear says absolutely everything about you. In our mind, the bag makes the man. Tell the people precisely who you are through what’s on your shoulder.

At The Real Leather Company, we try to accommodate as many customers as we can. If you’re an office whizz with a pocket protector or an adventurer with a grizzly beard, we will have your needs sorted. Let’s make you the type of man you’ve always wanted to be – regardless of what the world thinks.

2. STURDY MATERIAL MATTERS EVERY TIME

Have you ever bought a bag or piece of clothing with a promise of quality – only to be sorely disappointed when tears, holes, and poor stitching rear their heads? Regrettably, many men have had that experience. Don’t ever settle for poor quality. Always aim high.

Your leather bag needs to be constructed using the finest materials money can buy. Whether you’re sitting behind a desk or cutting through jungle vines with a machete, your bag must be protected from mother nature for decades to come. Make the right choice today and invest in the materials you know you need.

The Real Leather Company’s bags are made from premium, high-end leather. Luckily, you don’t have to pull your hair out it when it comes to potential wear and tear. By simply following a rigorous leather care routine, your bag will remain in top shape for an eternity. That is our quality guarantee!

3. IS YOUR METAL HARDWARE ON POINT?

One piece of the men’s shoulder bag puzzle that is often overlooked are the zippers. Ensuring that the metal sections on your bag are designed with artisan care is crucial. Zippers are the piece of your bag that you will likely touch the most, so they must be crafted with care and consideration.

People who often buy cheap bags from untrustworthy wholesalers are left with cheap metal components (unsurprising). Metal zippers snap off, get smudged with fingerprints, or are derailed from zipper teeth. Several hundred dollars and a broken bag later, the regret starts to sink in like venom. These customers should have invested in quality.

Our bags are made in collaboration with manufacturers who know their stuff. If you’ve purchased or are planning on purchasing a bag of ours, you won’t ever have to worry about factory manufactured cheap metals. We put time and effort into ensuring you get the top-line product you deserve.

4. WHAT WILL YOUR COMPANION HOLD?

Use is key. Like we’ve said before, deciding how you intend to use your bag is essential when it comes to making your purchasing decision. You need to think carefully about all the contents you plan on carrying in your bag. What size should you go for? What do I carry with me on a day-to-day basis?

The bags we offer come with a variety of compartments, so you can pack everything you need for a day or night out on the town, at the office, or through the Amazon. We take special care in making sure you purchase the right bag every time. And when one of our bags arrives at your doorstep, you can bet you’ll be overjoyed to see that it’s the perfect size for your requirements!

Before you even consider buying a bag, consider what it needs to carry. If you plan on packing your laptop, measure your device so that it fits. Have books and notepads you need to always carry on you? Consider measuring those too so you harness optimal storage space.

5. THE QUESTION OF CASH

It is the unfortunate reality that to get anything of high quality, you need to fork over a healthy stack of the green. Buying a gorgeous, artisan designed leather shoulder bag isn’t any different. If you want to make an investment for years into the future, you need to spend a little. Let us help you make that choice – responsibly.

The bags on offer at The Real Leather Company vary in price. We want our products to suit everyone, regardless of the size of their wallet. If you’re looking to spend a lot on a long-term inventory item, then we’ve got you covered. Need to spend a little bit less? Don’t worry, you can find cheaper – yet still high-end – products on our digital storefront.

Draft a budget to figure out how much you want to invest in one of our bags. Regardless of the final amount, we can guarantee that the product you receive will be crafted and delivered with the utmost care we can possibly provide.

We also offer a free, 30-day trial period for purchases. If you’re not happy with what you have, simply send it back (although we’re confident this won’t be the case)!
