The Roosevelt Satchel Large is the bigger build in the Roosevelt satchel lineup, scaled up for the man who carries more. Full-grain water buffalo leather in dark oak, the same thick, rugged hide used across the Roosevelt collection.
A padded laptop sleeve holds up to a 15-inch laptop. The brown waxed canvas lining resists snags and stains. Antique brass and iron hardware, YKK zippers, with an adjustable 2-inch canvas strap. More room than the standard satchel, same heritage build.
Dark oak is the deeper, more uniform brown. It develops a rich patina at the stress points and strap attachment over time, earning its look with daily use.

"I bought the smaller version of this bag about 10 years ago and wouldn't have given it up but for the increase in size to my computer. It held up through travel, clients and just plain work nonsense. Everyone I came into contact with made a comment about my beautiful bag. Looking forward to getting the larger size and having two in my arsenal."
"Fits my 16" laptop perfectly and has more than ample storage space for books, folders, notebooks, etc."
"Just got a Roosevelt messenger bag. Construction seems sturdy and quality of the leather is really good."
"This is my first leather bag and I love it. I work an office job and wanted something that would fit there without leaving my love for the outdoors at the front door."
"Fantastic bag. However there is a very musky smell in the interior that I am trying to elimate. It made everything I olaces in the bag smell. Working with charcoal odor eliminators now. But the bag itself is fantastic!"
"I received this bag as a gift over 10 years ago. I was just starting out my career and this bag was perfect for my computer and files. I have taken this bag on many flights and it has been through a lot. It still looks great and the leather has held up through the years. The ONLY reason I am hear now is simply to find a replacement for the back zipper! (The zipper functions, but after a decade of daily use, the little strip of fabric that connects the zipper to the leather has worn thin and separated. )"
"This was a Christmas gift for my (adult) Grandson & he absolutely loves it! No complaints at all. Great experience from ordering to delivery."
"Gave myself a luxurious Christmas gift, and so pleased in every way. The bag is well constructed, the leather is gorgeous, and the bag has the right level of storage and compartments. Bravo!"
"I bought this bag to carry oversized conductors scores- it is a perfect size!"
"Excellent product and excellent service"
