Design of the Leather Laptop Bag

The Fourteener Thin Briefcase is an over-engineered leather laptop bag. Yes, there is a pocket for a 14" MacBook Pro, and you can squeeze a 15" laptop in the main compartment. There are also pockets for everything else you might need to bring with you. An iPad, iPhone, tablet or notebook, business cards, passport, boarding pass, etc. This slim leather laptop bag is made with no breakable parts and reinforced with extra stitching, rivets, or hidden polyester strips that don't stretch. Only three large pieces of leather make up the body of the laptop bag to minimize the number of stitches in the bag. Each time a sewing needle pokes through the leather, it actually starts a tear. So the fewer holes, the better. And we only allow five stitch holes per inch for strength. The 100-year warranty lets you know this laptop bag will last a lifetime.

The Leather for Our Briefcases

We only use the toughest leather we can get (thick full-grain leather), the highest grade of hide you can buy, to make all of our leather laptop bags. The grain is the toughest and most water-resistant part of the hide. So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes so they can use up more of the hide, they're getting rid of the toughest part.

Functionality of the Fourteener Briefcase

This thin leather laptop bag is our smallest leather briefcase and is wide enough to fit any 14" MacBook Pro or laptop. The 2019 15" Macbook Pro fits in the main compartment but not inside the soft laptop sleeve pocket. Two interior flat front pockets to hold a charger, pens, cables, and papers. There aren't a lot of features and functionality, but that's on purpose. It's just a simple briefcase that is the perfect size for your smaller laptops.

Other Materials Used in our Leather Bags

Yes, full-grain leather is the quarterback getting all of the attention. But the other materials we use is what the over-engineering thing is all about. We line our leather briefcases with pigskin, which is more durable than the full-grain leather. The hardware is the ridiculous 316 stainless steel (rated to hold up to 750 lbs). We sew everything together with a UV-resistant marine-grade polyester thread (it's the same exact threat that's used to sew together ship sails and parachutes... you know, things your life depends on).

A Briefcase for Minimalists

This leather briefcase is really designed for the minimalist. It's a small, compact leather bag but still large enough for your essentials. Just purposeful organization for your laptop, notebook, pens, and daily carry — no gimmicks or clutter, just intentional design that makes it easy to stay light and efficient. Slim enough to slide under an airline seat but strong enough to survive years of commutes.

I absolutely love my fourteener. Its big enough for my work laptop and ipad pro 12 inch and plenty of pockets and nooks for accessories. Love the false bottom too! 10/10

They just keep making great stuff!

This is my 3rd briefcase from Saddleback, and it doesn't disappoint. I own several other products from them, and I couldn't be more pleased. The quality and craftsmanship are second to none. You get what you pay for!

The Best Purchase

I was on the fence of buying saddleback Fourteener this or not, but ended up buying it, it worth every penny, bought a large bifold wallet 2 years ago from saddleback its a beautiful, very well-constructed product, In future if I would buy Any leather product it would be from saddleback, hope saddleback will expand their product range, and be bit more creative with their hardware selection for tobacco and coffee brown colour bags, My opinion is the brushed stainless steel more square buckles and D Rings with more square shape would really look good on those two colours.

Every where I go with the briefcase I get compliments & questions, if it’s a family member or friend they keep touching it, this is more like a investment than a purchase.

The Craftsmanship blows me away!

Okay… so I’m about a month into owning my Fourteener. I will say that I found it hard to believe your brand promise that it would keep looking better the longer I owned it. Because I remember when I pulled it out of the box it was shipped in… and it was gorgeous from day 1. But… I’ve taken the dang thing everywhere since then. Heck… we’ve gone from board rooms… to conference spaces… to airports… to frozen mountain lakes… to meetings at church. And the same thing happens everywhere I go. People stop me and ask about my bag. People remark about the craftsmanship... the quality of the leather… and heck... even the way it makes them feel as they check it out. It blows me away… every time. I know Dave’s book is titled “They’ll Fight Over It When You’re Dead” and I sure understand that… because my two sons are already calling “dibs!” Thanks for the amazing quality and your incredible eye for detail. I’m proud to carry this work of art around and I’m grateful for the conversations and connections it’s inspired! And you are right. It’s getting more gorgeous… every day I use it. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Fourteener Bag

Ok ok. I was hesitant that the amount of 5 star reviews might have been bought/fake but genuinely this bag is just that good. I've had mine for 6 months now and it looks and feels even better than when I got it (who knew leather ages well, ik). Fully recommend it if you're still on the fence.

Perfect Sized Case

This is my second bag from Saddleback Leather Co., and once again the quality is outstanding. The first one is used frequently and I just wanted something a little smaller for shorter trips. The craftsmanship, durability, and thoughtful design are evident in every detail. The price is absolutely justified by the level of quality.

Great work bag

I am nothing short of thrilled to have finally gotten this bag. It fits my work laptop a notebook and an iPad along with the accessories. Looks great and is a significant step up from a backpack. Couldn't be happier and would recommend.

FOURTEENER THIN LEATHER BRIEFCASE

I just received my bag. The smell on this bag is incredible.

I wish the bag was just a little bit wider to fit your paperwork.. Without being so cramped inside the bag.

Overall is a great bag. I would definitely recommend it Don’t second-guess yourself go for it..

Very happy

I have wanted to purchase a piece from you since I saw the “how to knock off a saddlebag briefcase” YouTube video 10 years ago. It was worth the wait. Extraordinary quality. Perfect size.

Briefcase 14

Are you kidding me? This briefcase is indescribably awesome. Unbelievable and exceeded my already high appreciation of saddleback leather. The look is classy and at the same time unpretentious, quality is over the top, strap could hold a mule, well done! A thing of beauty and function.

Amazing Briefcase

I was looking for a slim bag to replace a messenger bag I use when I am in the city. The old bag worked fine for my ipad but I needed to carry my 14" laptop and it just didn't fit. The Fourteener is just perfect. Small enough to navigate busy city streets but big enough to hold the essentials. The bag is beautiful, I can't wait to bang it around a little bit to make it even better. If you are looking for a small case you can't go wrong with this one.

Best Briefcase yet

I have been carrying the Slim Leather Briefcase for the last 7 year. I love it, but it holds a lot of stuff despite being "slim". I have had the realization that I am a packrat. So I needed a new briefcase. This holds my Dell 15 inch work laptop. My Saddleback Leather portfolio and my 12 inch iPad in the main compartment. There is room in the pockets for all the cords and other stuff I need. Just enough room to lighten my load and have the stuff I need and nothing more. I could not be happier.

Perfect Size for Travel

I am a lawyer who travels frequently for Court appearances. I don't always need or want to carry my larger Saddleback briefcase and so this one fits the bill perfectly. Beautiful as always and fits everything I need.

Absolutely perfect

I bought this to be dual purpose, first to serve as a coffee shop/church bag to carry things. It is absolutely perfect for this. I love it.

I also wanted to be able to bring it as a carryon when I travel for work and use it as a laptop bag when I arrive. It fits my 16" macbook pro just perfectly - if it was even a tiny bit smaller it wouldn't fit. I would not plan on it as an every day carry for this but for a few trips a year it's going to be perfect. I was looking for this in the reviews and didn't see it. It would be nice if the bag was even just 1/4" wider to better fit it but it still works.

But since that's the backup purpose this is perfect! a slim flight bag (I normally put my work laptop in my carryon anyways when I fly) that doubles as a work bag once I arrive.

Perfect. I love it. Just large enough to carry everything that I need. Has a great pocket inside where my wallet fits in.

If a person wanted to and it was legal for them, a full size auto pistol would fit perfectly.

Leather Laptop bag

I’ve had this bag for three years. There’s literally nothing I could say about it that would be critical at all. I use it every single day and I plan on doing that for the rest of my working life. My family has been using Saddleback products for at least 5 years from wallets to belts to bags. 5 stars across the board.

It’s an Artwork

Can’t say enough about this 13er; it’s more than a functional briefcase— it’s more like a piece of artwork. It fits my ASUS Zenbook 14 (2019) in the laptop compartment, just have rooms for documents and purse. The only drawback is this bag attached some unwanted attention....people asked to touch my briefcase.
