Choosing the best leather bag can be easy if you know what to look for. We offer black leather bags in many different styles. Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas to point you in the right direction. First things first, what kind of man are you shopping for? Rugged and outdoorsy? Clean cut and boardroom-ready? A bit of both? Whether shopping for a loved one or yourself, you can’t lose with full-grain black leather. So start there, and then pick one of these winners:

Black Leather Work Bags

He’ll walk into the boardroom with confidence when he carries a sleek, professional black leather briefcase bag. Or, he could opt for a vintage-style leather attaché briefcase, perfect for holding important documents and papers in a slim profile. On the other hand, if he needs more space for work essentials, he might prefer a leather messenger bag in a fine vintage finish, equipped with an adjustable leather strap and thick, durable stitching.

Black Leather Travel Bags

Our limited edition black leather bags include two classic designs perfect for the traveling man. Whether carried on his shoulder or stored under the seat in front of him, the Jefferson Leather Duffle is durable enough to handle the stress of today’s travel with style. Consider pairing the duffle with the limited edition black leather dopp kit. Whether he’s the type to pack the bare necessities or an over-packer with a Boy Scout mentality, these travel bags will have him covered.

HOW TO CLEAN FINE LEATHER BAGS

Learning to clean a premium black leather bag without compromising its vintage finish and time-worn patina is essential. Here are three simple steps:

Supplies

• 4-5 soft, clean cloths
• Leather Cleaner
• Leather Conditioner

(*ALWAYS spot-test products before applying to an entire bag!)

1. Dust: Can any surface dust or dirt from your black leather bag with a brisk dusting of the exterior. (Dry-dusting your bag every few days with a clean, dry cloth is a great habit.)

2. Clean: Using a clean cloth, apply a leather cleaner in a circular motion. You can ensure you clean the entire bag evenly by covering one panel at a time. Next, remove the cleaner with a lightly dampened cloth. This type of cleaning is appropriate a few times a year, up to once a month. (If you have a more specific cleaning crisis, like a stain, see our article on removing stains from leather bags.)

3. Condition: It’s essential to condition the black leather after cleaning it. Full-grain leather is a natural material that will dry out over time without proper conditioning. To promote the longevity of your black leather bag, use a soft cloth to apply a leather conditioner. Don’t apply the conditioner directly onto the leather; apply it to the cloth and gently rub a thin layer into the bag's surface. Again, to ensure even coverage, work in large sections, panel by panel. Take special care around embellishments, pockets, and zippers. Finally, gently buff the leather surface with another soft, dry cloth. Condition your bag 1-2 times per year (even more often if you live in an arid climate).
