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. This leather briefcase converts into a 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.

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 316 Stainless Steel. It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. We consider every single detail when making a leather bag guaranteed to last 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 Perfect Size Thin Leather Briefcase for a 15" or 16" 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, so it fits up to 16" laptops. This makes it only weigh 5 lbs; 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.

The Perfect Amount of Pockets

These thin leather briefcases have a main compartment that is the perfect size for a 15" or 16" 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.

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.

---

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, traveling, or into the office.

---

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!

---

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 and Chestnut (reddish brown).

Tons of compliments

I researched and got this bag for Christmas in 2017. During the past year, I can’t remember how many compliments I’ve received. It’s certainly not something that is very common in the office and it really stands out. It just screams quality and heavy duty, but has great style. I got it in chestnut and it’s aging beautifully. Great size fits my laptop and folio, Bluetooth headphone with charger in one front pouch and my wired headset in 2nd pouch.

Nice bag but not everything I need

I got this bag in chestnut from DH as a gift a little over a year ago and purchased myself a few more items from Love 41 after. I love the leather and the craftsmanship. I wear the bag as a messenger bag and it is on the heavy side for me (5’3, 120 lbs, able to do 7 full pull-ups). I have a 15 inch laptop, a flash light and a pen in the cigar pocket, laser pointer and pill bottle in one of the front pockets. I find myself dragging the bag across the center console of the car often. The D-rings are noisy. My colleague called me “jingle”. I do get compliments from folks from time to time and continue to enjoy using the bag; however I find myself carrying the bag on my shoulder and stuff with my hands including water bottle, keys, lunch and a purse. The natural thing for me to do is look at SBL for another bag, to my surprise, the messenger bag my DH got for me is now $100 cheaper a year later. It made me feel like we got ripped off. I’m reluctant to purchase another SBL item.

A heavy bag built to last a lifetime

I have this bag in carbon since 2013. Other reviewers noted that it is heavy and the buckles make it awkward to open repeatedly through the day. Absolutely true. The fact is that it *is* heavy because it's sturdy. The pockets *do* take time to open because the buckles are made to last. Simply put this bag is genuinely built to last a lifetime.
