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.
The quality, look and feel is ever bit as advertised and I was not disappointed. I have saved and been eager to purchase this portfolio for over two years. A funny thing happened the week I got it. I also received an iPad Pro 12.9inch. It fits perfectly in the portfolio but there is nothing to hold it in place. I purchased two products that has resolved this challenge. One purchase was the magnetic cover/case on Amazon that holds the iPad and I flip the cover into the "notepad" holder. I then purchased a separate cover for the top. Problem solved and I now carry with great pride my new LEATHER portfolio.

It was a gift for my son and he really likes it. I would prefer embossed initials. Otherwise, very nice and love the fragrant leather scent.

This was a present for the hubby. He is a pastor who uses legal pads while planning his sermons and when he asked for a portfolio for Christmas from Amazon, I knew that wouldn’t do. He already owns a Saddleback Flight Bag that he loves so this portfolio is perfect for him and he absolutely loved it! Thank you for making such quality products!

Love it! Getting compliments and second takes by people at work who’ve caught notice of it. Solid piece and looking forward to seeing this age through the decades.
