Unboxing a Waterproof Leather Briefcase 💼

Gentlemen 👊—if you’re tired of backpack straps destroying the shoulders of your suit 🧥, it’s time to upgrade your gear. In this video, I unbox and review a waterproof saffiano leather briefcase from Maverick & Co. 🔥 (spoiler: they sent it for free, but didn’t even ask me to make a video—so you’re getting my honest take 📦🧐).

✅ We talk specs, fit, finish, and functionality
✅ I load it up with my actual church gear (scriptures 📖, laptop 💻, pens 🖊️, tissues 😅)
✅ And I compare it to my old faithful bag (RIP gold hardware 😢)

👞 I also throw in a few thoughts on leather matching, suit preservation, and what makes a bag gentleman-worthy.

🎯 Whether you’re headed to church, meetings, or just looking for a better way to carry the tools of your trade without sacrificing your style—this video’s for you.
