NM midday dash - question about patent hobo

The Large MP is a pretty big bag, but if you like big bags like most of the tPFers here - it should be perfect. It's a really popular bag. Personally, I'm 5'4" and I prefer the Small MP (which most people consider to be too small). Patent is very different from coated canvas, since patent is actually leather. Coated canvas is used as a lining in many MJ bags. In fact, your patent MP will probably be lined in coated canvas. The Large MPs I've seen in patent have been very thick and glossy, and I don't think they'd be prone to scratching.
