Travel Accessories Dopp Business Class Kit by Buxton Black

This product is outstanding and the price on Amazon can not be beat. Buxton owns the rights to the Dopp name and produces these “official Dopp” kits. The leather is excellent, feels solid and well stitched, but you can also get them in a slightly less expensive PVC leatherette version. You can also find these in some stores although the ones I found were double in price. Sometimes the bottoms are leather and sometimes the bottoms were a beaded plastic. Frankly I made sure to get the beaded plastic as it will last longer than a leather bottom. The key features if this Dopp kit are: 1) Construction feels solid. (Although the tag says made in China…you would feel better if it had a proud to be made in the USA tag…but, I don’t reckon this is an issue here.) The leather and stitching feels strong. The zipper is a hefty enough piece of metal that will last. The leather handle is small enough that it fits under the fold of the kit’s side if you do not want to use it. The inside is a traditional liner with a single razor pouch, but, the liner and pouch feel like they are made of a newer composite plastic material than the older plastic liners these type of kits used to have. The liner feels stronger and I doubt it will rip, which often happened with travel kits. 2) It has Dopp stamped on it, on two flaps/tabs. The tabs are aesthetic choices but look excellent and remind you that you have a “real” Dopp and not some random “Men’s Toiletry Bag.” There are newer types of “Dopp” kit’s out there made out of nylon mesh. If you like that I would recommend something by L.L. Bean or Swiss Army. But for something more traditional I would only recommend this brand right here…
