Alright, I just picked up this wheeled black leather duffel from Kenneth Cole and I'm pretty happy with it. The handle retracts and is zipped up so that it looks just like a classy leather duffel, but you can also wheel it around (because who wants to carry this thing on their shoulder for an hour in an airport)... It is under 45 linear inches, so carry-on friendly, and seems to have the same interior dimensions of a normal carryon. The only thing I don't like about it is the extra weight that the frame and wheels add, but I guess it's not supposed to be carried anyway.
Here are some specs:
- Rich full grain cowhide leather exterior
- Fully lined interior
- 10 lbs
- 21.5" x 11.25" x 11.25"
I'm still paranoid of the leather scratching but I'm like that. It really is a nice classy piece, a step up from the standard black ballistic nylon suitcase that everyone else is wheeling around the terminal...
