Men's Business Bags: Practical Picks for Business Travel
Jan 22, 2026
A good business bag says something about you before entering the room. We're not talking about flashy logos or price tags. We're talking about bags that show you've got your stuff together, literally and figuratively. The right men's business bag handles whatever you throw at it while looking like it belongs in both the boardroom and the overhead bin.
Our Rooster Bus team has been selling bags long enough to know what survives business travel. Cheap bags fall apart at security checkpoints, and overpriced designer bags can't handle real use. But the right bag? It becomes your travel partner for years, developing character with every trip while keeping your laptop safe and your documents dry. These are the business bags we trust when work takes you places.
The Continental Briefcase
Will Leather Goods knows how to make a briefcase that means business. The Continental is made of full-grain Italian leather that gets better with age, not worse. It has that classic briefcase look without being stuck in the past. Gel padding in the handle saves your hand during airport sprints, and the brass lock works when needed.
Inside, there's room for a 15-inch laptop and all those documents you swear you'll read on the plane. Each bag is individually numbered, a nice touch when everything else feels mass-produced. If you want a men's business bag that looks sharp in the conference room and holds up in the cargo hold, the Continental delivers.
Oscar Work Backpack
Sometimes, a briefcase feels too formal, but your beat-up gym bag won't cut it either. Enter the Oscar Work Backpack. Its full-grain, water-resistant leather shrugs off coffee spills and rain. The leather breaks in over time, getting more comfortable and looking better.
It is big enough for a 15.2" laptop and everything you need for a two-day trip. Our signature plaid lining inside proves we care about the details you'll see every day. Adjustable straps molding to your shoulders mean you can carry it all day without hating life. Black or cognac, both work whether you're heading to a startup or a law firm.
Merla Satchel
Not everyone wants leather, and that's fine. The Merla Satchel brings water-resistant canvas with leather accents for guys who need something more casual but professional. There is plenty of room for your laptop, notebooks, and that phone charger you always forget.
Carry it by the handles or throw the adjustable strap over your shoulder when rushing through the terminal. The leather trim and detailed stitching give it character without trying too hard. Perfect for creative types or anyone whose office doesn't require the complete suit treatment.
The Roadster Backpack
Waxed cotton might sound old-school, but the Roadster Backpack proves classic materials work for a reason. It's lightweight enough that you won't feel it on long days and tough enough to handle being tossed around by baggage handlers. The coffee-brown finish with leather trim looks good and will look better in five years.
External pockets keep your boarding pass handy, internal organization keeps cables sorted, and the padded laptop separator keeps your computer safe. Smart enough for client meetings and casual enough for weekend trips, the Roadster bridges the gap between business and adventure.
The Runwell Backpack
Shinola built its reputation on quality American manufacturing, and the Runwell Backpack shows why. Available in Navigator brown or black Natural Grain leather, it's the kind of bag that gets compliments in elevators. Gunmetal hardware adds just enough edge without being flashy.
Padded interior with dedicated spots for your laptop, phone, and everything else you can't lose. The straps are comfortable for all-day wear, which matters when crossing time zones. Professional enough for Monday morning meetings, relaxed enough for Friday afternoon flights.
Roll Top
GOT BAG makes their RollTop from ocean plastic, which is pretty cool when you think about it. Your business bag literally helps clean up the ocean. But environmental points aside, the bag just works. Waterproof construction means rain won't ruin your presentation. The roll-top design expands when you need extra space.
A removable laptop case protects your computer and makes security checks easier. Padded straps handle long carries without cutting into your shoulders. The minimal design means it works anywhere, from tech startups to traditional offices. The RollTop bag is available in Blue Waters, Algae, and Shark black.
