When Roosevelt was a student at Harvard, a doctor warned him that if he did not commit to living a sedentary life, the consequences could be fatal. Roosevelt said, “If I’ve got to live the sort of life you have described, I don’t care how short it is.”

In other words, “Sorry, Doc, I’m going large.” And history shows us he maintained that attitude, all the way to the finish. We now offer a larger version of our popular Roosevelt Men’s Leather Satchel Messenger Bag. Same top-grade water buffalo leather complemented by brass and iron hardware, this one is able to accommodate laptops up to 17” screen display laptops (measure diagonally) . It has room for it all, or pretty damn close.

This large messenger bag is for those moments when a voice of authority tries to hem you in because of potentially less-than-desirable consequences to living. Carrying this bag sends a clear message: “Sorry, I’m going large.”
