Design of the Leather Laptop Briefcase

The Slim Leather Briefcase is super functional and over-engineered without a single breakable part like magnets, snaps, or zippers. Everywhere there is a stress point, we reinforce it with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. It's built with the largest pieces of leather we could design it with to minimize the number of stitch holes, and we sew at only five stitches per inch. The leather briefcase's interior is soft, light tan pigskin leather, so light reflects inside, and it's easier to find things in low light. This leather briefcase converts into a leather backpack for when you're commuting or walking in the airport and need your hands free. It has a false bottom to hide your passport and spare cash. On the exterior, there is a big wide front pocket under the flap with an almost as big pocket behind it. It fits laptops, notepads, and files. On the inside, there is a big back interior laptop sleeve for up to 17" laptops.

Materials in our Leather Briefcases

Our leather is the strongest we can find (full-grain boot leather, but thicker), and the pigskin lining is stronger than cow leather. If I'm ever president, I will pass legislation that all leather briefcases are made with full grain leather. Our hardware is made of 316 Stainless Steel which is over-the-top strong. The thread is a strong industrial marine-grade polyester thread in which the sun doesn't deteriorate like nylon does when it hits it.

Full Grain Leather Laptop Briefcases

Full Grain Leather is used because it's the toughest leather we can find. It is the strongest leather that money can buy because none of the grain has been shaven off to get rid of blemishes and scars. Instead, we leave all the grain on there and cut around the bad parts of the hide.

Lining Material in our Laptop Briefcases

The lining material we use in our briefcases is also super tough. We line our briefcases with pigskin leather. Pigskin is much stronger than cowhide. It is also smoother, so your laptop will easily slide in and out.

Stitching in our Leather Briefcases

The stitching of our leather briefcases is done with the strongest thread available, marine grade polyester thread. This type of thread can withstand the elements and will not deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does. Polyester is horrible as a bed sheet, but it doesn't get any better for an application like this. It is like hot sauce; it's great to dip your chips in, but not so great as an eye drop. That analogy might be a little out there, but I think you'll get it.

Yes, it Doubles as a Backpack

It is as simple as unhooking the leather shoulder strap, then pushing it through the O-ring on the top, and then connecting the ends to the bottom D-Rings, and now you have a leather backpack. These backpacks are perfect for times like a long hike, if you are also trying to carry your luggage, or if you just want to give your shoulders a break.

Device Pockets

The large front pocket can fit smaller laptops, tablets, notebooks, files, and other paperwork. Behind that exterior pocket is a hidden pocket with almost just as large a capacity that you can use to carry another device in.

Interior Pockets

Inside, you will find that we placed two side pockets for pens and pencils; we put one on each end so it would be easier to grab whatever you need without fumbling around.

A Side Pocket for your Water Bottle

There is a side pocket to slide your water bottle right into without having to open up the whole bag. This makes it easy to carry and access your water or whatever your preferences of drinks might be easy, without even taking the briefcase off your shoulder. And it is not just for water bottles; you can also use it to hold your phone, power hub, or whatever accessories you feel fit in there.

Main Compartment Laptop Area

There's a floppy pocket for your 16" laptop in the main compartment. The main compartment of this briefcase can hold quite a bit more than just your laptop, but we designed it with business people in mind who travel often and need to have their hands free.

Key Strap

We placed a key strap that falls right into the briefcases, so it will be super easy to grab your keys and go. No more fishing around for your keys at the bottom of your bag. Not everyone likes to fill their pockets with things like keys and change and such, so we thought of every detail in the design of this leather briefcase.

A Leather Briefcase with a False Bottom

Below your main interior compartment is a strip of leather that makes a false bottom. This serves to add strength to support your laptop, as well as a hidden area. You can keep extra cash, a passport, ID, a gold coaster, whatever you like can go down there, and if you get robbed, they might take everything out of your briefcase, but they usually will not take the briefcase.

    5 year wait….

    I fell in love with these bags about 5 years ago. With the price tag and me being a construction plumber at the time, it wasn’t a very practical purchase for me. I’m a leather enthusiast and I make leather products myself. One of my first bags was a rip off of the saddleback front pocket backpack. Then I saw Dave’s video about people knocking off his bag and felt a little targeted lol. But I’ve learned some things about the craft just watching Dave talk about his bags and I’ve always dreamt of having one. Fast forward to this past November…. I accepted a position as General Manager of a Plumbing and Mechanical company in westerner Kentucky, where I reside. Now was my chance. I pulled the trigger and even splurged on a wallet in the process. I’m super happy with it. It’s rugged and tough. I plan to use the hell out of it for the next 100 years. I take it into places when I know I don’t need anything out of it just because I like carrying it around and other people notice it as well(not that I care so much about what people think). This whole long story to say, Thank you Dave and everyone at Saddleback for building this beautiful product…. PS, the tobacco brown is a little darker then I expected but it’s still a beautiful.

    side

    FYI the side pockets are a little small but I was able to get it to hold a thermoflask bottle. Just takes a bit to stretch

    Slim leather briefcase

    This is definitely built to last a lifetime! It is thicker than I expected, but that is perfect because I was a little nervous when I bought it that I wouldn't be able to get my work binder and papers into it. I love the pigskin leather lining. It makes it feel so luxurious and the stitching is solid and very straight. This bag was made by someone with attention to detail. Worth every penny!

    Slim leather briefcase

    Exactly what I needed. Fits my 15" Surface Book 2, planner, and with enough room to carry a couple books and the usual modern detritus of cords, headphones, medicines, pens, and folders. I had a Mystery Ranch briefcase for 5 years and while their gear is still perfect, the Saddleback briefcase is a nice step up in how professional and fancy it looks. Given backpacking experience I was skeptical of the "backpack" configuration, but stand corrected. I couldn't take the briefcase with me to Big Bend but the backpacking configuration was unexpectedly handy while hauling tail with the luggage in hand through DFW. Finally glad to have one of my own.
