Filson Briefcase: too casual?

Hey all,

I'm interested in the Filson original briefcase, either tan or navy:
http://www.filson.com/products/original-briefcase.70256.html?fromCat=tr…

I'll be starting at a mid-tier consulting firm - mostly financial services clients. I don't want to be just another corporate drone with a black Tumi. I was wondering what the general opinion is on Filson briefcases. Are they too casual? Should I stick to navy and avoid tan?

Cheers

I think it's a great look. Navy looks best. A couple of coworkers here (large fund) own them. Wouldn't be worried about them being too casual around financial services clients.
