Amazing Briefcase!

My family and friends bought this for me as a graduation gift. I use it every day for work, and I love it! I am always getting compliments on how nice it looks. It's expensive, but it's worth every penny! I'm definitely a customer for life!

The Best of the Best

I am coming up on two years with this bag. It has traveled on well over 100 flights. The quality and reliability of this bag are unmatched. I receive compliments on the bag every trip. The most significant compliments I receive come from the TSA. I have been to so many airports where a TSA agent grabs the bag to move it onto the scan belt. They always say the same thing “this is such a thick, heavy, high quality bag….who makes it?”
The reason these compliments mean so much is because the TSA has seen and touched more bags than anyone on the planet. For them to stop and compliment the bag speaks volumes about the build quality.

Great Quality

I love this bag! The leather is high quality, and the stitching is very thorough. Just note that it does mark up very easily. Some people like this, but I’d prefer it if it didn’t. Obviously it has no impact on the quality, but it’s something of which to be aware. I don’t want my bag to look like it’s a year old when I’ve only had it a week.

No regrets with this bag

This is the first Saddleback product I have come to own. It was a gift from my wife after I got a promotion at work and she saw me going back to the webpage frequently. I carry it to and from work every day with my laptop, tablet and whatever paperwork I may need to review. I also have a couple of the small organizers and they fit very well and help me keep it organized even more. It’s comfortable, sturdy and clearly well made. I love the look and color, but it does show marks quite easily. I’m trying to teach myself to come to terms with the concept of the more the bag is worn and handled, the better it will look. I can easily see myself using this bag for a very long time.

Design of the Thin Leather Briefcase

This thin leather briefcase is over-engineered with no breakable parts like magnets, zippers, velcro, snaps, buttons, etc., and is reinforced at all stress points with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. Leather stretches, but these straps do not. It's built with the largest pieces of leather possible, so there are fewer seams, and we sew at only five stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. There is a light colored pigskin interior so that you can see inside the leather briefcase in low light. And that means the already super tight and resistant exterior is backed with an even stronger lining. We chose this lining over a soft, sweet, shiny nylon fabric with a world map to make you feel big and strong.

This thin leather briefcase is perfect for carrying a 15-inch laptop, has a detachable shoulder strap, and D-rings on the bottom for attaching tripods, jackets, or blankets.

Materials Used in this Thin Leather Briefcase

Our leather is the strongest we can find (full-grain leather). It still has all of the grain on it. We line the leather briefcase with pigskin for even more strength. The thread is unbelievably strong industrial marine grade UV resistant polyester thread, and our custom hardware is the amazing 316 Stainless Steel. It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it.

Functionality of the Thin Briefcase as a Small Laptop Backpack

This leather briefcase is the perfect small laptop backpack when you attach the shoulder strap to the back d-rings and pass it through the O-ring on the back. The front pockets also have hidden pockets behind them. It has a false bottom for hiding cash and passports. D-rings on the bottom of the bag for strapping on tripods, jackets, and blankets.

The Perfect Amount of Pockets

These thin leather briefcases have a main compartment that is the perfect size for a 15-inch laptop and a notebook, along with a charger and charging cables. It also has two inside pockets for pens and pencils. On the front there are two pockets that buckle closed, keeping things like your wallet or phone safe in transport. Behind those pockets are two more pockets that make it easy access to place your cell phone or even a power hub. This is a great bag to carry your essential belongings to a meeting or to float down a river in Africa.

The Saddleback Thin Leather Briefcase is made of high-quality full-grain leather and is handmade with precision to ensure durability.

Detachable Shoulder Strap

Not everyone likes a shoulder strap on their leather briefcase, and sometimes you just need a quality thick strap of full grain leather for other things. So in this thin leather briefcase, we made a detachable shoulder strap that is also adjustable. I can't tell you how many times I've used a bag strap to tie down luggage.

D-Rings On The Thin Front Pocket Briefcase

The bottom of the thin leather briefcase has four d-rings that can be used to hold anything from your umbrella to a rolled blanket or tent and use it like a knapsack. Think outside the office, away from business; it is more than an elegant way to carry your laptop or notebook. You can look professional or casual with this rugged leather briefcase. It is a great bag to have on your back when you go hiking, fishing, or shopping.

A Key Strap

A leather key strap inside the main compartment holds your keys, so you don't have to search for them at the bottom of your bag. No more fumbling around for your keys!

Back Magazine Pocket

Yes, we even put a back magazine pocket in this briefcase. You know, when you are on that long flight and just want to unwind with some Field and Stream, or maybe you want to catch up on the latest National Geographic. Now you have a place to put it!

This slim leather briefcase is a tough, over-engineered small laptop backpack with no breakable parts, stress points reinforced with rivets and hidden polyester strapping, and a light colored pig suede interior.

The Different Colors of this Thin Leather Briefcase

The natural color of Tobacco (tan, light brown) might be the most common. It has a casual look but develops a beautiful patina over time. Some people prefer a different style, so for those, we also offer this leather in Dark Coffee Brown, Chestnut (reddish brown), and Black.

The Perfect Size Thin Leather Briefcase For A 15" Laptop

This slim leather briefcase is big enough to hold everything you need but not too big or bulky. The dimensions of this briefcase are 15″ x 11" and only 3 1/2" thick. This makes it only weigh 5lbs; it is like nothing when you wear this on your back or shoulder. We do make larger bags, but not everyone is trying to carry a 17" laptop along with a gaming chair in their briefcase. But we do take into account those that need to take a 17" laptop, and we have a larger leather laptop bag for those.

What Makes The Saddleback Thin Leather Briefcase Worth It

We care about much more than making money. Sure, that is required to keep a company running, but we care more about making quality leather goods. This is the reason we use only the highest quality materials, and the most durable construction methods possible. Making a difference is our goal in every life that we touch with our designs, so we take it seriously when we say that we will warranty your leather bag for 100 years.

Made With The Best Full Grain Leather

Our Thin Front Pocket Briefcase is made out of the toughest, full-grain leather. This is the top layer of the hide and has all of the grain, making it tougher and more water-resistant. Most companies will use a cheaper, thinner leather that is easy to process and falls apart in a few years. For our designs, we only use the highest quality materials because we stand behind each one of them.

    The Strap....
    I just received the briefcase, it is beautiful. The immediate kicker, the strap. The giant belt buckle on the strap kind of looks tacky, and it should come in various sizes, long and short.
