We only use the toughest leather we can get (thick full-grain leather), the highest grade of hide you can buy, to make all of our leather laptop bags. The grain is the toughest and most water-resistant part of the hide. So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes so they can use up more of the hide, they're getting rid of the toughest part.
Yes, full-grain leather is the quarterback getting all of the attention. But the other materials we use is what the over-engineering thing is all about. We line our leather briefcases with pigskin, which is more durable than the full-grain leather. The hardware is the ridiculous 316 stainless steel (rated to hold up to 750 lbs). We sew everything together with a UV-resistant marine-grade polyester thread (it's the same exact threat that's used to sew together ship sails and parachutes... you know, things your life depends on).
This thin leather laptop bag is our smallest leather briefcase and is wide enough to fit any 14" MacBook Pro or laptop. The 2019 15" Macbook Pro fits in the main compartment but not inside the soft laptop sleeve pocket. Two interior flat front pockets to hold a charger, pens, cables, and papers. There aren't a lot of features and functionality, but that's on purpose. It's just a simple briefcase that is the perfect size for your smaller laptops.
This leather briefcase is really designed for the minimalist. It's a small, compact leather bag but still large enough for your essentials. Just purposeful organization for your laptop, notebook, pens, and daily carry — no gimmicks or clutter, just intentional design that makes it easy to stay light and efficient. Slim enough to slide under an airline seat but strong enough to survive years of commutes.

How to Knock Off a Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase
I love this bag. I almost got a bigger bag but I am very happy with my decision to go smaller. A laptop, an iPad, a book, a magazine, my Sig P365, they all fit easily in this bag. The color is great but it does have a bit of a suede feel to it, the grain is more porous and tends to accept stains more easily than the darker colors, so that is a consideration. I don't like the effect that the Chamberlain's leather milk has on this leather color, it turns it slightly orange. I almost didn't buy this color because I've seen some with orange shades that in my opinion aren't great, but I'm happy with my color. If there could be one improvement it would be to make this color have more brown and less orange.
A great addition to my duffle and backpack. Built like a tank. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back out on the road again soon and travel in style.
the quality of the bag is better than I expected
Looks amazing
I ordered my Thirteener for my laptop that I will use for travelling during my retirement. The product came in record time and all I can say is "WOW". This bag, in Tobacco, is beautiful! Very soft and very robust in design and strength. I have no worries placing my laptop in the bag and throwing it in my truck. Great product that will last a lifetime (or two).
