Read MoreAfter years of searching for the perfect Saddleback mug, Dave finally decided to just design one himself. The final product is a collaboration with the master potter Keith Thomson, owner of Firehouse Pottery just across town here in Fort Worth, TX. Keith makes each Saddleback mug by himself, by hand. There's about 20 or so discrete processes involved in the creation of each mug, from measuring out the right sized hunk of clay, to forming it on the pottery wheel, to final touch ups of each finished mug. They're made in small batches over a 2 week period. There are quicker and easier ways to make mugs, but Keith isn't interested in that. And neither is Dave. The result is a beautiful hand-crafted mug, each slightly unique. Because of the time-consuming and labor-intensive process, Keith just isn't able to make too many of these things.
Let's be honest, most of the coffee mugs will be bought because they are a cool piece of our beloved Saddleback Leather accoutrement. And this is fine. My mug sits proudly on my desk top announcing "Yes, this guy has style, even class". The mug is handmade with all the little foibles and personality one would expect. The colors aren't consistent from one batch to another, the logo is just slightly tantalizingly askew (picture Vivien Leigh when she raises that right eyebrow). I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, if you're reading this review (and you are, I see you there) you are already on the hook. Get the damn mug. Tell 'em Brian sent you.

I love my coffee mug! But I do find it overpriced. By the time you add shipping and tax it’s not worth $60.

I woke up Thanksgiving g morning and decided to visit my old friend- the saddleback leather website. Lo and behold, in stock was their famous and equally elusive coffee mug. I’ve missed out on this before and vowed it wouldn’t happen again! Videos and pictures don’t do this wonder mug justice. Nothin like holdin it in hand! Firehouse Pottery and Dave’s brilliant vision have birthed the perfect mug to start your day. Feels so great in hand!

Hard to get your hands ON one, but easy to hold on to. It fits perfectly in my hand any way I grab it. I also like the shape of it, so when I absentmindedly place on top of a pen on my desk, it doesn't tip over. No chance. I have 4 now in two different shades as they are all unique. Will buy a few more if I can.
