Start with how he carries

Men tend to replace a bag only when the old one fails, which makes it both the best and the riskiest gift. Best, because the upgrade is felt every day. Riskiest, because if the size is wrong it goes in a cupboard. So start with what he carries now. Phone, wallet and keys: a belt bag such as the Ely, worn at the waist or across the chest. A tablet, a book and a charger: the Thirsk crossbody or the Hexham large sling. Somewhere in between: the slim Skipton sling. See men's crossbody bags for all of them.

If he carries a laptop

Everything follows from the machine. A 13 or 14-inch laptop and a 15 or 16-inch need different bags, and a bag that is too small will not be used. If you do not know, check the box it came in or the settings screen. Our personalized briefcases and work bags list the laptop each one takes.

Color and initials

Black and chocolate stay closest to how they arrive and suit a man who likes things to look the same for years. Cognac and tan darken the most and suit someone who likes a bag with character. A blind press monogram is the classic choice for a man's bag: it reads as a maker's mark rather than a label.

By occasion

For a wedding anniversary, see 3rd anniversary gifts for him. For a first job, see graduation gifts for him. For a wedding party, see groomsmen gifts.

Timing and delivery

Every bag is made to order. Smooth leather and suede bags leave the workshop in 3 to 5 working days, hand woven bags in 4 to 6, and a monogram adds one working day. US orders then travel 3 to 5 working days by tracked express courier, and they ship duty paid, so there is nothing to pay on the doorstep. If the date you are buying for is less than two weeks away, ask us first and we will tell you honestly whether it will arrive in time.

Stitching is covered for life and hardware for five years, and any bag can come back within 30 days.

Questions about leather gifts for him

What is a good leather gift for a man?

A bag he will use every day, sized to what he already carries: a belt bag or sling for the essentials, a crossbody for a tablet, a work bag for a laptop.

Are your crossbody bags suitable for men?

Yes. The Thirsk and Hexham are cut for men, and the Skipton and Ely are unisex.

Which leather color is best for a man?

Black or chocolate if he likes things to stay the same; cognac or tan if he likes leather that changes with use.

Can I add his initials?

Yes, up to three initials free. A blind press is the classic choice for a man's bag.

Can he exchange it?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, unused and in its dust bag, monogram or not.

Our story

Full grain, or we say so

The outer layer of the hide with nothing sanded off or sprayed on. Panels are cut around weak spots, never across them.

What full grain means
