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.

    A Beautiful Bag

    This bag is outstanding, a wonderful design that is perfectly suited to my needs. I have only one problem. Over the years I have bought several other SB bags, in a range of sizes and colors to suit a variety of purposes. This is bag the largest, and the most flexible. Unfortunately, it completes my set, so I don't have an excuse to buy anything more. It won't be easy, going cold turkey; Saddleback leather is too addictive. I might not stay on the wagon for long.

    Perfect size

    Perfect size bag for my needs. Bigger than the thin front pocket briefcase and smaller than the classic. Holds my computer, notepad holder, charges, day planner and a book. Love the Chestnut on this bag.

    A Saddleback Convert

    I spent a lot of time looking at competitors and wrestled with saving a couple shekels versus getting "the real thing". Ultimately I pulled the trigger and could not be more pleased, thus far it's been to London, York and Edinburgh in the UK for leisure and Shanghai, Fuzhou and most of the Fujian province in China on business trips. A few notes on the briefcase itself, a 13in laptop (in my case a dell XPS 13 fits in either the front sleeve or the divider area within the main storage compartment of the briefcase. In addition a 15in laptop (dell XPS 15) fits with the main area of the briefcase but not in the front sleeve and not in the divider area. Honestly things do get a little bit tight if you've got a 15in laptop in the main area in addition to tablet, chargers, cords, noise canceling headphones etc but it is doable. Bottom line is it's bulletproof, it ages beautifully the more you use and carry it and I'm already eyeing additional Saddleback purchases.

    Perfect Briefcase/Day bag

    This is probably the best leather bag I've purchased from Saddleback..Great design with simple yet distinct look! Tobacco color is excellent as time goes by. By the way, great customer service when I was waiting for a stock.
