Well I ended up buying one off
ebay and am still undecided on what I think of it. The hardware is big and can be noisy and the shoulder strap is rather thick. I should have measured the width (at work now, can't do it until I get home) but I would say it is at least 2 to 3 inches wide. It isn't uncomfortable, just a little odd if you're used to thinner straps as I am. The leather is beautiful and looks like it will age well. The lining is gorgeous too! The front pockets are rather large, I need to measure those too, but I looked at it and thought wow...I could fit my whole hand in there, lol! The inside pockets aren't that large, they seem to be the same size as the pockets on the other two
Coach bags I have. The main compartment itself is HUGE and easily fit my wallet, a large makeup bag, cell phone and keys with lots of room to spare....it would take quite a lot of stuff to fill the whole bag.
I have a picture of my DH modeling it for me (he was trying to be funny and I snuck a picture in on him) that I will try and post tonight. I agree that the Coach photos don't really help much!
