If you want to but you’re not sure how, then join us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to learn more. We’ll help you get plugged in.
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.
I own two small note pads (one in tobacco brown and one in black) and one medium in chestnut. They are quite useful. The interesting thing to me is how different the leather is on each of them. The tobacco is almost suade, the chestnut is shiny and sort of plastic feeling and the black one is very shiny and feels squishy almost like neoprene. i like the feeling and look of the tobacco best. I also have other saddleback products (medium satchel in tobacco, tank backpack in chestnut, and a dufflebag in dark chocolate brown) and the leather is different on each of them as wel as different from the other products in the same color. I like the products and they are well constructed, but the leather discrepancies are kind of odd. The black notepad is my least favorite in terms of how the leather itself feels and the extremely shiny look.

I did a ton of research for executive leather notepad holders (Coach, Tumi, Ghurka, Mont Blanc, Borlino, Hermes, Dunhill and even Levenger) and yours was the best by far. It is the cleanest and most well designed. I love how everything aligns and fits perfectly inside and out. No extra tassels, no unnecessary "clutter". For me, a designer and creative director, this is so important. I love your notepad holder so much that I bought a smaller version of it the day I got the big one. The big one goes to the cleint meetings and the small one goes everywhere else. I love your notepad holder so much that I carry it around the house for no real reason other than to have it in my hands! And the leather smell! I hope it never goes away! IT. IS. AWESOME! I will definitely be buying more cool products from Saddleback. Thanks again!

This leather notebook cover is for professionals only! That's right- when you buy this fine leather product and take it to your place of work, prepare to get lots of looks and compliments especially from the big dogs. In fact by buying this notebook case or any other Saddleback leather products its like saying "hey world, I'm a professional and I take my life seriously and buy and show off high quality belongings. I highly recommend preparing yourself for people asking you alot of questions about the leather by reading up on Saddleback leather's home page, watching videos, and following their awesome facebook page. But I assume most of you who found Saddleback leather products already do this and check the facebook page for contests, watch dave deals every hour and tuck in at night with your leather goods under your pillow like myself. So professional or not, buy this product! Don't wait! Soon you will be rubbing elbows with the big wigs and enjoying your work and life so much more! Hats off again to Dave and the Saddleback company for an amazing company with an honest and quality mission.

I am not new to Saddleback leather. I have a two year old large satchel in chestnut. An Ipad 2 case in carbon black. I have always wanted the medium notepad in dark coffee brown and finally ordered and received it this past weekend. I couldn't be happier with the heft and the construction. Can't wait till it softens up with break-in just like my previous SB products. Thanks for another great item.

Hugely impressed with this product. Bought the Medium size and was so happy with it I then bought the smaller one. Everyone is impressed and jealous, couldn't recommend these products more. Thanks Saddleback - once again you have delivered a super one
