This is my second WP Standard bag (the other is the messenger) and by far my favorite. The workmanship and quality of the leather are like all other WP Standard products - impeccable. This bag is also much more practical given that it has internal and external zipped pockets. Only one thing prevents me from giving a full five stars. To open the bag, you need to undo the clasp in front. While I understand the clasp gives it a retro look and feel (one of the major reasons you would want to buy this instead of a typical ballistic nylon or polyester bag), it makes accessing the interior rather finicky. I would have preferred a magnetic clasp of some sort. This can be done in a way that still maintains the retro look but offers a modern convenience.
