No. Do you look like mr. mainline cool pilot guy. Maybe. If I had to have a nice leather one, I think I would get the coyote works one with the aluminum skid plates on the bottom. The scott leather co offers 'wear leathers' on the bottom. I wish I would have got those, cuz my case is only 2 years old and the corners are worn through. I never drag it, and have always been really careful with it. I now have duct tape on the corners to keep it together. If I would have got the coyote works one with skid plates, I think it would last forever. I think another great option for $200 is the luggage works flight case:

The coyote bag is cool but after you add the aluminum plate and the side pockets it's almost $500 after tax and shipping! It had better last forever.

They do have a life time warrantee. You can find them at many stores I bought mine here:

The aluminum tool box will make you look like just that. I would avoid the Scott Bags. I had the expensive one with the saddle straps and it drove me insane for almost 3 years before I bought a standard leather Korchmar for under $300.00. The snaps on the handle never aligned and it used to be difficult to snap close, I'd have to squeeze and jiggle to get it to fit in the bag hook (maybe just mine was defective), and they have these annoying, thick side flaps that get in the way when you're trying to get your jepps in and out.

I've had this bag for about 5 years now. Other than having to put a new handle on, get a garage door handle, it hold up great. Can't beat the price.
