The high-quality materials used in this leather portfolio make it worth the investment. The full grain leather is extremely tough and water-resistant, while the pigskin lining is even stronger than the cowhide used for the outer layer. The German industrial marine grade polyester thread is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear. The stitching is done in such a way that avoids any damage or tearing to the leather. Think about the number of great first impressions you'll make carrying this portfolio.
---Imagine the cow is killed and skinned. Imagine that... Now the thick hide goes to the tannery, but it's so thick that the tannery splits it in half, the top from the bottom, and now has two hides to sell. The top hide has all of the grain on it (Full Grain). All of the real tough and water resistant dense fibers. Grain is to a hide of leather what shingles are to a roof. Leather portfolios and padfolios made with this leather will last at least a few generations. And we use thick full grain leather. Thicker than boot leather.
---The bottom half is a hide called Split or Genuine leather. It dries out quickly and stains easily because the protective layer of grain is gone. Low quality leather padfolio makers will stick some lipstick on that leather and sell you a nice and pretty leather portfolio tomorrow.
---We glue and sew pigskin lining to the back of that already tough full grain leather. And pigskin is stronger than cowskin. This makes our leather portfolios twice as strong as a typical full grain leather portfolio.
---We sew our leather portfolio with an extremely strong German industrial marine grade polyester that won't fall apart or wear away easily. They use this German thread when it just has to last, or someone could die, like for parachutes and sails on ships. And our thread for the padfolio is the thick double ought version.
---A sewing machine is actually a perforation machine. If the needle holes are too close together, then the leather of the portfolio will tear like a perforated piece of paper. So, we sew at no more than five stitches per inch, which gets the holes further apart from each other on the padfolio.
---The side that holds the paper is only sewn on the right and bottom sides of the portfolio. It's designed to slide in a typical 8 ½ x 11 letter size, European A4 notepad from above or a spiral notebook from the side since that flap is sewn only on two sides.
---This leather portfolio is built with just one solid piece of leather to reduce seams. This is because seams are where, if there's going to be a problem, it will begin there. Yes, we took every detail into account to make this sleek notebook holder perfect.
I was reluctant to buy this at first. However, all my other pad holders would rip, flake off leather or just fall apart. When I received this I never thought I would be excited about a leather pad holder. The quality is beyond anything I have ever seen. I was so impressed, I bought a briefcase Ive had my eye on for years. It is amazing also.

Bought it for my girlfriend for her birthday and she absolutely loved it. She uses it everyday at work now and she loves how professional it makes her look. She now gets asked questions about it all the time.

I can't figure out why I waited so long to get this thing...

Very well made and CLASSIC leather portfolio. The color and the smell are just spectacular. The construction is some of the best work I have ever seen. My only caveat is the business card holders should be ever so slightly shorter to make retrieving business/credit cards a little easier. Additionally, I'd like to see the left side pockets reduced to 1 slot for documents as having two makes the portfolio extremely bulky. Third, the pen/pencil holder should be increased to hold 2 and placed in the spine area, rather than over the top-right side notebook slip.

I bought this for my nephew as a gift for his graduation from law school. He LOVES it. He has referred to it as having an "old world quality". It smells and looks fabulous! I am sure it will age well over the years. I believe the quality is unparalleled-- well worth the price.
