    Here is the thing

    I believe in climate change and that the earth is in a bad environmental shape, and wether you're a believer in this or not, do yourself a favor a buy this suitcase, i have the medium size and it's crazy well manufactured, i think Dave is loosing it to how much he's doing these products so well! it's surreal! it will be the last suitcase you'll buy unless you buy 2 3 4 or more of that one, it's a shame that the medium size doesn't exist anymore because it's the perfect balance between what an airline weight limit is and what you need to pack for few weeks!

    5 Stars!

    I have three of these suitcases, large size which is the size currently available, in tobacco, medium in dark coffee brown, and small size in chestnut. The medium and small sizes are not currently available, but may occasionally pop up in Dave's Deals. I purchased the medium coffee brown from Dave's Deals. The small size is a little larger overall compared with the hard sided carry-on, and I check in all of these bags when I travel with them. I select the size(s) to bring based on my travel needs each trip. The bags do not lock; if they did lock, I still would not lock them, as that would encourage thieves to cut the leather straps. I have checked these bags twenty or thirty times on major airlines, sometimes with just clothing inside, occasionally with other items inside that I could not or did not wish to carry-on. Not once has anything ever been stolen. A few times I have had a paper inside notifying me that TSA inspected my bag. Never have I had a problem yet, hope I never will. I of course don't check money, jewelry, or expensive electronics. These suitcases are tough and continue to hold up well. The baggage handlers treat them rough, I have scuffs, scrapes, and a couple of gouges in the leather. The bags continue to look better each trip, and improve with age and wear and tear, particularly the tobacco. Everyone loves my suitcases. Every trip I am asked by people I have never met, where did I get them, how can they get them, etc. I carry these bags most of the time; usually it is a short walk from the airport curb to the check in counter, but sometimes longer distances. Packed full, my large suitcase is usually 40-45 lbs, the other suitcases, a little lighter. For longer walks, I ordered extra Saddleback briefcase straps, and I clip a strap to the rings where the handle attaches, and carry a suitcase over my shoulder. On the occasions when I am carrying two of these suitcases, along with a carry-on, and a briefcase, then I strap the two suitcases and sometimes the briefcase too, to a lightweight folding luggage cart. When I get to the counter, I fold up the luggage cart, put it in a plastic bag, and then into the suitcase, it is quick and easy, and an easy answer for those that may require rolling luggage for any number of reasons. The look and feel, build, and overall quality and durability of these suitcases is truly outstanding; there is really nothing else on the market that even comes close. I continue to be very happy with these suitcases.

    Exactly what I had envisioned!

    I have looked at the leather suitcases for years and never had the nerve to pull the trigger. I finally had enough money in pocket to get one and my only regret is how long I waited! I was thrilled when it arrived and love the look and feel of the leather, the sturdy construction, and the romance of the classic design. Nothing could compare, however, with the feeling of receiving praise and compliments everywhere I took it! Fellow travelers, airport staff, and resort staff all raved about my Saddleback luggage! Incidentally, I absolutely stuffed the suitcase to the point I had difficulty closing it and it still weighed in at just under 50 pounds. Amazing! I had everything I needed for a week of being very well dressed (suits, ties, pocket squares, dress shoes, etc.) in Las Vegas.

    Large suticase

    I bought the large suitcase last year. Overall, I like it. The outside DCB leather is nice quality and I saw only very small marks on the outside. The light pigskin leather on the inside was a different issue. There was a large crease running down the entire lid of the briefcase. Saddleback customer service told me that it was not a defect despite it looking rather bad. I kept the briefcase but still wonder if I should have returned it. I expect natural marks on the leather, but this crease was not a natural range mark. If it was not for this issue, I would have given the suitcase five stars.
