The one bag that comes to mind off the top of my head is the 
Franklin-Covey Ryder [0] messenger bag, which is $120.  I haven't used 
it personally, so I have no idea how it'll hold up long term, but it's 
at least got the look you're going for.


There's been a few laptop bag threads recently on SomethingAwful, when I 
get a chance I'll go through them and pull out some other professional 
bag suggestions. I know there were a few different leather bags recommended.
