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.
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.
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).
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; 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.
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. We make larger bags, but not everyone is trying to carry a 17" laptop along with a gaming chair in their briefcase.
These thin leather briefcases have a main compartment that is the perfect size for a 15" or 16" laptop and a notebook, with room for a few more books and Dude Wipes. Two inside pockets for pens and pencils. On the front there are two pockets that buckle closed, great for chargers, cables, etc. Behind those pockets are hidden pockets that make it easy access for smaller things.
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.
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 our leather briefcases, we make the shoulder straps detachable and also adjustable. I can't tell you how many times I've used a bag strap to tie down luggage.
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. Think of it this way: when you buy a Saddleback Leather briefcase, sure, you're buying it for yourself... but you're really just breaking it in for whoever you plan on passing it down to.

The Thin Front Pocket Briefcase Backpack In Depth Explanation
I have taken my briefcase from Capitol Hill to Alaska. Everywhere I go, from the board room to the Alaska backcountry, I receive compliments on my briefcase! I am consistently asked, where did I get it? The quality is second to none. I can honestly say, I have beaten my briefcase up. From saltwater environments, heavy airline travel, to Senate offices. It looks even better with time and wear. If I had to make one suggestion to buyers it would be to buy two briefcases. Give one as a gift to assure those close to to steal yours!
The bag is truly excellent - I’ve waited years before buying one, trying a series of other lesser bags before finally deciding to treat myself. It’s fair to say I’m not disappointed!
This is a beautiful bag. I love the look of the three buckles in the front, the hidden pockets behind the pockets, and the spacious interior. The front pockets are the perfect size to hold a MacBook charger, and I bought this to be my laptop bag. My one complaint is that it needs a laptop sleeve like the slim leather briefcase. I think I must have missed that it didn’t have one when ordering it, and it seems like a big oversight on Saddleback’s part. The slim leather briefcase has a laptop sleeve but no nice pockets for the charger – all the pockets are long sleeves. Great for laptops, iPads, and papers, but not gear. Anyway that’s not this bag. This one has great pockets for cords and things but desperately needs a laptop sleeve. One main reason it needs a sleeve is the key clip. It’s very long and honestly gets in the way, but I wouldn’t care if I could isolate my laptop from it. I may end up downgrading to the Thirteener because of this, even though it doesn’t have the satisfying three buckles.
Love the durability and 100 year warranty. I get a lot of Complements on the bag. The look of the leather can only get better as time goes on. It fits my laptop and portfolio easily. I only have about 10 years left in my career but plan to hand the bag down to my son. Hopefully he can get the other 90 years in on the bag.
I am so excited today! I just received my briefcase with the quality is so much more than I expected. I can tell right away that I will be using this every day. Thank you so much for the great staff in getting my order together and delivered.
