Your daily commute might just be a battle for a seat on the train, but the Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase ($499) is built as if you are storming a beachhead. Crafted from industrial-strength lightly waxed twill and bridle leather thick enough to restrain a Clydesdale, this thing is aggressively over-engineered.

One customer reportedly clocked a million miles with his, proving it will almost certainly outlast your laptop, your current job, and possibly your knees. With a storm flap to protect your documents from the elements and a solid brass zipper, it’s the definition of “buy it for life.”
