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.
This is my first Saddleback purchase and I am THRILLED. I called on a Thursday afternoon and wanted to Large Notepad Holder in Chesnut for a meeting that following Monday. Saddleback's customer service was what I yearn for in retail and they made every effort to not only ship the product the same day- but helped me determine the right shipping so it would arrive at my hotel in time. Once I received the product I think it goes without saying that the product was the HIGHEST Quality!!!! Although I've only had this for a week, I know it is probably the most durable and attractive business accessory I now own. The quality is great, the finish is refined enough to fit in a boardroom but I am not worried about it surviving in the backseat with my toddler (aka, "real world" situations). This is something I will cherish for years to come and if this is an example of Saddleback, I will certainly be purchasing other products as I can acquire them. Thanks guys!

I have had this binder for almost a year now and absolutely love it. The leather is starting to get a great patina and always looks sharp. The pockets are tight as expected but can be stretched in no time if you need them larger. I haven't had a single issue with the folder and get compliments all the time from clients and colleagues in the Real Estate industry. If you are on the fence about buying this or skimping and buying a 80 dollar folder, BUY THIS FOLDER!

I purchased a medium notepad holder in Tobacco THIS week for my husband's graduation from Texas A&M. I have been waiting months for one to pop up in Dave's Deals but then panicked when I noticed they were out of stock. I live chatted with an employee a few times checking on when it would be back. Tuesday I received an email that it was back in stock and DID NOT hesitate to just order one at full price. Today, Friday, I received it in the mail. My husband is going to FLIP at how beautiful it is and how the smell is to die for. This is the PERFECT gift for someone who is hardworking and deserving of a work tool that will last a lifetime. So proud of my husband and his accomplishments, AND can't wait to see his face when he opens it! Thanks Dave! Can't wait to shower my guy with more of your handcrafted leather!

The Notepad Holder from SBL is of the highest quality. I got it on Chestnut and could not be happier with it. It fits perfectly in my medium Chestnut Thin Briefcase. It is not too thick but still very sturdy. Awesome quality.

This is my third notepad holder. I have this in tobacco, brown and new black. Love the rich color black which makes the holder look very expensive. I have used the brown holder for a year now and it still looks like new. All three holders are very thick and sturdy and scream quality. A little disappointed in the shoe polish odor - think it must be the ointment SB puts on its products. Sure odor will fade now that its out of the sealed plastic bag.
