I have one of these. Best damn M bag on the planet. But you're right. 
You
have to watch out what street you're walking down on the way to the 
country
club, so as the riffraff doesn't assault you. New from the shop, the 
bag looks
like something from the COACH store and wouldn't look out of place in
Town and Country magazine. Cheers and tally ho indeed. BUT I've had mine
for about three years now and have abused it relentlessly. It's got 
stains,
some coffee, some my blood, and scratches and although it still has that
look that says "stiff upper lip", it now looks more like something that
wouldn't look out of place in a group shot of the Desert Rats, rather
than a country estate.
