“When my dad would drive, he’d have this old, brown leather briefcase and would play drums on it in traffic. When he finally decided to get a new one, I went and fished the old one out of the trash and kept it. The lock code was the address from my childhood house – this thing just meant something to me. When My Chemical Romance got together, we had this idea of doing something cool with the merch with something we could pop open at every show. Gerard [Way] and I went to a fabric store, and we lined that old briefcase and it became our merch set-up.” - Frank Iero

Still looking for the interview but I totally remember reading/from an interview that the suitcase was brown, it was Frank's dads. He and Gerard went to Michaels (craft store) and pimped it out. Let me know if you know what interview this is! I remember it being audio or text.
