Most of our leather briefcases convert into backpacks, including this one. Run the adjustable shoulder strap through the o-ring on the back of the briefcase, and clip it to the d-rings on the bottom. Now your hands are free to carry more luggage through the airport. This leather briefcase has a false bottom to hide your passport, spare cash, and other secret things. The d-rings are great for strapping on blankets, jackets, and wet sandals. And the main strap has a hole at the very tip, just in case you overstuff your bag or want to put an umbrella under the flap. The two front pockets actually have hidden pockets behind them too.
This leather briefcase is made of full grain leather, which is the strongest there is. And then, we line the leather with pigskin, which is more durable than cow skin. Our thread is some of the best in the world. The strong industrial marine-grade polyester thread doesn't deteriorate like Nylon when the sun touches it. Our custom hardware is 316 Stainless Steel which means our clasps can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats. It's the metal of choice for when your life depends on it.
We only use full grain leather. Sure, we pay a higher price to purchase full grain leather to make our bags. And we pay more by using traditional craftsmanship. To us, these are essentials to offering a leather briefcase with a 100 year warranty. Leather is like a roof. First, there is plywood, tar paper, and then shingles. The grain is like shingles. It's the toughest and most water-resistant part of the leather. A lot of companies shave off that grain to get rid of scars or blemishes so they can use more of the hide, but by doing so, they get rid of the toughest part. We don't do that.
Did you know pigskin is actually stronger than cowhide? It is, and that's what we line our leather briefcases with. Not only is it stronger, but it is also more flexible and has a nice feel. We could have left it with just thick full grain leather, but we wanted to give you the best of the best. By using both, you get the best for the inside and the outside of this large leather briefcase.
The hardware on this backpack briefcase is all 316 Surgical Grade Stainless Steel. That's the good stuff. The kind that doesn't corrode, pit, or rust like other metals. It's the best for when your life depends on it, and it's what we use because your life could depend on this briefcase (ya never know, right?).
Polyester is awful for underwear or sheets, but it is the best for thread. We found the strongest polyester thread and used it in our leather bags. It's a marine-grade, UV resistent polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate when sun hits it.
Two small internal pockets are located in the main compartment, which is great for holding things such as pens, pencils, and other things that you might put in small pockets. The internal compartment is split into two main areas with a large capacity to hold a large laptop or two. So you can fit that huge 17" laptop in here without a problem.
The two front pockets on this briefcase are large and ideal for holding chargers and cables, passports and travel docs, phones, glasses, and a multitool. And behind each external pocket, you've got a hidden pocket. These pockets are great for things you might access more often, such as a cell phone or a USB hub, depending on how secure you need it to be and your own packing method.
Yes, this briefcase has a hidden compartment that is large enough to fit a passport. It is located on the bottom of the leather bag and can be easily accessed by lifting a strip of leather. You will see it right away. The false bottom is great for hiding things such as money, your passport, or anything else you might not want anyone to find.
When I tell you we thought of everything, we did. In between the front pockets is a pocket that is good for carrying a cigar, a flashlight, pens or pencils, or Epi pens.
Not everyone wants a shoulder strap; they might prefer the hand strap or the backpack feature, so we made it removable. The durable shoulder strap is also made of full grain leather, just like our leather bags, and has the same quality stainless steel hardware.
It is also functional as a great carry-on for short trips or long trips. You can fit your large laptop and maybe even a change of clothes and other gear. For example, you might not want to put your suit jacket inside, but an extra t-shirt and shorts to wear. The Front Pocket Leather Briefcase fits nicely under seats on the airplane.

How to Knock Off a Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase
it is a beautiful bag and top quality - no doubt about it but it is too heavy and really not practical. with a laptop, chargers and other stuff in it can weigh close to 8-10kg and i worry at times the weight limit on flights. once the novelty had worn off.. i sold it after 6 months
Loving this briefcase. I can see how someone of smaller stature might not want this, as there is a bit of heft to it, however I'm 6'5" and I'm not sure I would want anything smaller than this. Handles all of my needs exceptionally well, and definitely turns heads at the office. LOVE IT!
Incredible quality! This will be the last briefcase I'll need. Great day to day and travel bag
This bag is incredible. Love all of the room inside and the leather feels like nothing can damage it. I got the tobacco color and haven’t regretted it for a second. Plenty of space for 15” MBP and iPad Pro, along with room for a change of clothes and toiletries for an overnight trip.
I recently bought the Front Pocket Briefcase in Dark Coffee Brown and have been using it for my everyday carry bag for work. Because of the different duties I have at work, I need 2 laptops, a MS Surface Pro and a 15” MacBook Pro. I have each of these in their own padded sleeves to protect from scratching and such, and they both fit in the back section of the briefcase. This leaves the from section for everything else I need, including the power supplies for both laptops, a pouch of accessories such as smart card readers, and different video adaptors, a MS arc Bluetooth mouse, and USB hub. The side pockets on the inside of the front section are perfect to hold a few pens, pencils, markers, or even a pocket knife. I also carry a moleskin notebook, and my Bose quiet comfort 30 noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones in their case. I use the front packets for little snacks like clif bars and gum/mints, etc. there is even “hidden” sleeve style pockets behind each front pocket. I have my work cell phone in one and the other perfectly stores an REI COOP flask. The side pockets are great for Hydro Flasks. I have a 20 oz. Hydro Flask that I carry every day on one side, and I occasionally have a 12 oz of coffee on the other. There is also a large sleeve pocket on the back side that is accessible without opening any backles. This is a great place for a newspaper, notebook, or frequently used papers. I don’t think a day has passed without compliments on the bag from friends, colleagues, and even complete strangers. And y’all, to top it off, it smells amazing! If I could change one thing, I would like I be able to purchase it with an option to have the larger inner pockets like the Classic Briefcase. This would be helpful for organizing smaller accessories without needing extra pouches and such. But definitely not a deal breaker. I LOVE this bag! By the way, had wonder experience with customer support too while helping me track the package. Their new system still has some bugs that are getting worked out, so the system didn’t get updated with my shipment info automatically. I used the chat option to talk to customer support and they were able to quickly update me.
