Customer feedback describes the jackets as useful for organizing papers and appreciates the roomy expansion for holding documents. Buyers may value that capacity when grouping client or project papers. Opinions are mixed on durability and foldability, so consider how often the jackets will be handled and whether paper construction suits that use.
