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.
As stated in my previous review, I would post a review once I received my notepad holder. Here it is! My wife bought this for me last week, and arrived on Saturday. Exceeds all of my expectations, to say the least. The SBL script is on the outside, with the dog insignia onthe inside pocket. The stitching is (as always) splendid. Only one rivet on the whole thing, with no seams or hinges to break over time. The weight is a little on the heavy side, but that is that in comparison to QUALITY leather? NOTHING. This came in the Dark Coffee Brown colorway, which in my opinion is the best one. I am going to finish out my collection in this color for sure! To sum this up, I would HIGHLY recommend this to others. I work in an office setting, and today is the first day I've had it here at work. The compliments keep FLOODING in. It's definitely turning some heads.

Just purchased this product a week ago. And feeling more organized already. :p Its the little things.. Absolutly amazing quality in every aspect. I fit two 5x8 note pads in mine. The pocket on the left works great for tucking in one more spot for thought. Give it a squeeze to relieve stress and anxiety. Best thereapy ever. Leather.

I bought the smaller version before they rolled out the "new lighter pigskin", which wont match any of the dark coffee brown products you might have purchased before. I don't know why saddleback decided to do this, but it makes all of their dark coffee brown products look cheap. I really wanted a matched set of notepad holders, since I already had the small one which I love. I don't know what they're thinking, but the lighter pigskin looks aweful. Since Dark Coffee Brown is what I have been ordering from Saddleback leather for all of my products, I'm extremely disappointed that I wont be able to purchase anything else from them because I don't like their other colors and this makes their dark coffee brown look horrid. I guess this is goodbye to SaddleBack leather for me :/

Just got mine off Dave's Deals. He was seriously being generous the other day because it's in perfect condition. Got the Carbon Black Small. Looks great and fits the 2013 Nexus tablet perfectly in the left pocket.

I can see from the reviews the new light pigskin liner has received mixed reviews. I actually like it very much and that was why I bought a dark brown notepad holder and wallet. I think the contrast is awesome and actually makes an already good product even classier. You should use it on the back of your belts as well. I got the small size notebook holder, which is perfect for carrying around in my tobacco large round satchel. Great stuff!
