How to Knock Off a Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase
It is my intent that this review will be a little different than most. Most of the reviews are posted shortly after folks receive their briefcases and they are excited, which is certainly understandable. My wife purchased my Classic Brief case for me 5 or 6 years ago (I lose count). The bag is exceptional, the craftsmanship and styling/design is exceptional, and the quality of the product is exceptional. This brief case has traveled through many airports and to several different countries. I still get stopped by someone almost every time I go in to an airport and complemented on my brief case. I promised my 10 year old that when he begins his professional career that I will either give him my brief case or I will buy him a new Saddleback brief case, his choice. Folks this kind of quality is difficult to find in today's market. I am a trial attorney by trade and this bag is the envy of many who are still figuring out that an investment in this type of tool is just that, an investment and worth it. This bag is built to stand the test of time and has exceeded all reasonable expectations. Good work Dave!
After doing some research on briefcases, it was clear Saddleback offered exceptional products. I recently ordered the extra large classic briefcase and the medium waterbag. The classic briefcase is without a doubt the best I have ever seen. The attention to detail, quality of design, materials and workmanship - all simply extraordinay. I have seen briefcases at three times the cost that cannot hold a candle to the Saddleback. The waterbag is a fascinating travel bag, unique in its design and versatility. I needed a combination bag for days when I need to carry a bit more than usual including two laptops, several books and all my other daily things. The waterbag design is an incredibly interesting design, a beautifully crafted bag that can be size adjusted. It is well balanced and extremely comfortable to carry. I love the fact I can take a few less things and simply adjust to the six inch insert. The additional handle is an added benefit making it even more comfortable to carry. Despite a few comments that the briefcase and waterbag are heavy, I disagree. These are both exceptionally designed leather products, unique, beautiful that I will enjoy for years. All the best, John
My Large DCB Classic Briefcase has finally arrived (after being painfully delayed due to Storm Juno!). While I have nothing unique here to add (rest assured, it is more amazing than you think), I do have to say that my biggest relief is that I can stop staying up late nights watching Dave's and Youtube's videos about this bag and debating between DCB and Tobacco. I can finally rest and just enjoy the pinnacle moment of my bag ownership.
I have had my bag now almost 10 years, thought it might be time to write a review on it... On top of being absolutely gorgeous, it has remained rock solid all these years, and just seems to get more beautiful the longer I have it. It's been across the the country and around the world with me, and it doesn't matter where I am, not a week goes by where someone will compliment me on my beautiful bag and ask me where I got it (I should be getting a commission :) ). I have the XL Briefcase, it holds my 17" MacBook Pro perfectly, but it is indeed a heavy beast, just make sure you hit the gym before attempting to lug this thing through the airport. :)
After debating to buy for years, I took the plunge. I have been carrying the large dark coffee brown briefcase for two months. I use it to carry a Dell E6540 plus my power cord, two notebooks, a daily devotional, a Leatherman tool, and other accessories. I will occasionally carry my Sig P220 in there as well along with an extra mag. It is a beautiful, well made bag and never fails to catch looks. The handle is comfortable and the hard ware is heavy. Concerned about the weight? It is heavier than a polyester bag, but it also sends a message that you mean business. I love it. I like the strap length, as I am over 6'2", but because of my size (I wear a 54L jacket), the backpack conversion doesn't fit me well. The side water bottle pockets are a touch small. You have to work to get a 16 oz water bottle into them. They will not hold my 20 oz Yeti mug. This is a great piece of luggage and worth the money.
