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 Leather 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.

A Briefcase that 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 small side pockets for pens, pencils, pocket knives, etc. We put one on each end so it would be easier to grab whatever you need without fumbling around.

A Side Pocket for Water Bottles

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 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.

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.

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.

    Slim Leather Briefcase

    As usual, Saddleback Leather has made a beautiful, rugged, well constructed product. I've been buying their stuff for years and have never been disappointed. It has plenty of space and extra pockets which makes it very pratical. Also love that it can function as both a briefcase and backpack.

    Quality Side Bag

    Ordered this slim briefcase after much searching and making a mock briefcase out of cardboard to check size. Haven't used it yet as it'll be my carry-on as I fly to/from work every 2 weeks. Feels quality and love the interior. Fits everything I need to have on me. Exited to start using it!!!

    The bag that makes an impression

    I’ve owned a lot of briefcases over the years, but nothing comes close to the Saddleback Leather Slim Briefcase. The craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch — thick, full-grain leather, clean lines, and a build quality that feels like it could outlast me. When I first unboxed it, I was genuinely blown away. The leather was so rich and substantial that I joked I might have to take it to Dick’s Sporting Goods to break it in like a baseball glove. This is the kind of bag that makes an impression the moment you walk into a room. It’s professional, smartly designed, and built for the long haul. The organization is perfect for my daily workflow, and the comfort of the strap and handles is far better than I expected from such a rugged piece. Saddleback got every detail right. If you want a briefcase that balances durability, style, and true craftsmanship, this is the one.

    A Big Upgrade

    I bought this as an upgrade from a cheapo leather bag that has served me well over the years but was showing it's age. This is a huge upgrade! Much more solid construction, looks better, and I am sure it will last longer. You can feel the quality.
