Read MoreThe 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.
My small notepad came in the mail yesterday-it is outstanding!! Matches the pictures perfectly, great workmanship. The leather smell is incredible. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

I have a small brown notepad holder with the lighter pigskin lining. I love the contrast of the pigskin lining! I have a number of other SB products, including a large satchel in tobacco, and the pigskin really adds class. Anyway, my daughter liked the holder so much I got her one for XMAS. She is a sales person and uses it daily to keep notes. She said her coworkers and customers love it as well, and she receives frequent compliments on it. Great product!

I have four of these note holders. One medium chestnut,medium tobacco and two small chestnut. Beautiful leather and makes paper work more organized. Have had them for awhile and they withstand a lot. Our cat even put his signature on one of the chestnut pads. Makes it kind of special. I hope they design a thermos sleeve or straps to put my copper thermos on one of my bags. Maybe some day soon.

I have been using the small notepad holder in the tobacco color to jot down note in class and I have to say that I spend more time looking at it than I do actually paying attention to the lecture. The build quality is far superior to anything else that I have seen on the market. I have had many compliments on this piece!! I agree with Saddleback's philosophy and will always go to them for all of my leather needs!

I work in real estate and needed a quality porfolio for documents, contracts, note-taking and business cards. If you like quality, then this is one of the best. If you want cheap, then go elsewhere. This portfolio exudes timeless quality, craftsmanship and durability. It gets better with age and you'll never need to buy another one. It's a little heavy and stiff due to the thickness of the leather and pigskin lining. However, as you break it in it takes on a patina gets more pliable. You'll love owning this good quality piece.
