    Character

    I received the extra large classic briefcase as a gift from my bride of 23 years (after some very direct hints), and am very pleased with all aspects of the product. Solid construction, gorgeous materials and its own character that conveys a message of sturdiness and stability. Saddleback is correct: my children will be fighting over this bag when I am gone.

    My new best friend

    No, seriously, this will be your best if not last bag. Bought the medium Chestnut as a present for myself because I got the graduate program I was hoping to get into. Fast forward a summer and I've lost count of the compliments I've gotten. The bag is now broken in beautifully and covered in scratches from the adventures we've been on together. From interviews to boats to carting around items for three kids, the briefcase does it all. It's big enough for me to fit an entire class day's worth of books and notebooks but small enough to cram under my legs when sitting in the front seat of a car. It holds up beautifully in downpours and salt water alike, though I recommend rinsing the bag with fresh water if the latter gets on it. The straps have indeed served me as a belt on more than one occasion. There is just one big "con" to this work of art. As zillions of other reviewers say, it is indeed HEAVY. I get an achy shoulder if I walk a few miles with it fully loaded, and I'm 6'1" and pretty fit. I read on someone else's review somewhere that this bag will make you remember why you want to carry anything, and that's absolutely true. Backpack mode is great but you have to sort of shimmy around to get the bag seated evenly. After that, it's fairly comfortable to carry around. Buy it, you won't regret it. And you'll look like the classy bad ass that you are.

    Worth every penny

    This bag is hands down, the nicest bag I have ever come across. I use it for work, storing my laptop, iPad, accessories, as well as important documents. On the weekends, it makes a great carry-on or overnight bag for trips. I have received a million compliments and questions about it. I have owned mine for over 4 years and it barely broken in, but just keeps looking better and better with age. I recommend Saddleback to everyone who asks me about my piece.

    My kids are already fighting over it.

    I have had my Large Classic Briefcase in dark coffee brown for a little over a year. I am 5'9" with an athletic ex military build and the large fits just fine. I waited for 2 years before purchasing and I am glad I finally did. It is a decision that I do not regret. I looked at every alternative on the market and as a hobby leather worker I had to go with Saddleback. Yes It is expensive and yes it is heavy but you cannot argue with the quality. I have made leather bags and backpacks, for friends and family, by hand for years and even though I make mine as sturdy as possible, I will never match the fit and finish of this bag. Quite frankly, I don't want to. It would be too much work and cost way more than just buying from Dave. I use mine everyday for work, I am a adjunct college instructor, as well as weekend trips and longer ones, it is simply perfect. My three kids all laid claim to it as soon as it arrived so I made each my own version of the satchel with the promise that when they finish college they will each get a classic briefcase. I cannot recommend enough. It is worth every penny and then some.

    Just great...

    Got one of those over a year ago as a replacement for at least a decade old briefcase. Office, hiking, airplanes, back of a truck, shooting range, you name it. The only thing that gets replaced frequently is the content.... :) When Dave says your kids will fight over it, it just might be true. With two sons, I might have to get another one of those in the future just to prevent future family troubles. Like said in the title, just great...
