Classic Leather Briefcase Explained by Dave

The Classic Briefcase in depth description and explanation on design
How to Knock Off a Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase
I'm 5'5. I initially bought the medium but it looked to small and the proportions were weird. A few people were like "nice murse, dude" so I ended up exchanging it for a large. The large is correctly proportioned but it's a big bag. I've had the large for about a year now. I don't use it every day, but instead as a weekend bag or a trial bag. It's not really a briefcase, but more like a travel the world bag. If you need to throw everything you own into a beautiful leather bag and travel the world, this is your bag. I use the backpack feature a lot, and it's good for grocery shopping, etc. I ended up buying a thin briefcase, which I use more. The medium thin briefcase is a better briefcase for every day use. On average, I travel with a laptop, iPad, a few books, and some pens. This is more practical. With the classic, I was bumping into people on the train, and it made tight spaces awkward. Don't get me wrong, it's a great bag. Just think about how much stuff you carry on an average day. If it's just a laptop and some books, a thin or a satchel will meet your needs. If you have the need to carry around a lot of stuff, and you want a bag people will compliment you on, this is it.
This is a very stylish bag with the rugged durability. Just what a manly man needs
This is absolutely the finest/best briefcase I have ever owned (and I have owned a lot of them in my 40 years in busienss). I have carried laptops, iPads, Engineering Notebooks, file folders, pens (in their leather pen cases) and even some large photo lenses on occasion (when push comes to shove). It has worn beautifully and still impressed a lot of folks with its obvious quality and strength.
I received a Large Chestnut briefcase from my wife upon finally graduating with my undergraduate in finance after a long journey via the military and other places. My initial gut reaction was that it was enormous and would be a bear to carry in the city to my new job everyday. Upon walking into my new office on the first day of work, my opinion was forever changed when every single individual I walked past seemingly had something marvelous to say about my bag. Now, I wear it proudly and can't wait for people to ask me about it. I recently was in an Allen Edmonds looking at some high quality shoes, and the saleswoman asked me about my bag before even asking me if I needed any assistance. I didn't buy the shoes, but I left her Dave's card (I carry them because I have many from repeat purchase, keep sending them with purchases Dave!!!!). All this long windedness just leads me to say, if your gut tells you that you think you will enjoy owning it, you're more likely right than wrong. Buy whatever you're looking at without blinking and you'll be happy for a very long time. And if you're lucky enough to have a wife like mine who'll buy it for you, even better!!!!
Notice, as you read these reviews, that anything below a 5 out of 5 star rating is rare sight. Why? Because these bags are absolutely amazing! The bag is a work of art. You will turn heads when you walk into a room with it. Everywhere I go, people ask about the bag and want to see it. I've had it for 4 days and I already have 5 co-workers thinking about buying one. This is the type of purchase you will be proud you decided to make. You will look for excuses to carry around stuff with it. If you are on the fence like I was about buying one because of the price, think of it as an investment that you'll use for the rest of your life. I look forward to reading your review of the leather once you buy it :-). Warning: Be aware of which size you need. I ordered a large and my 15 1/2 inch laptop just barely fits. It has enough room for books, a binder, pens, laptop charger and a few other things with the laptop in it. If you need more space, I would definitely suggest getting the extra large - or getting one of his backpacks.
