{"product_id":"front-pocket-leather-briefcase","title":"Front Pocket Leather Briefcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign of the Front Pocket Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This full grain leather briefcase is over-engineered to last a lifetime (or a few lifetimes). There are no breakable parts like zippers, magnets, snaps, or buttons. Every stress point is reinforced with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. And it's built with the largest pieces of leather possible. It's lined with pigskin and has a false bottom to hide your passport, spare cash, or other secret things. The two front pockets have pockets behind them too. This leather briefcase fits a 17\" laptop and can be worn in backmade mode.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Functionality of our Leather Briefcase Backpacks \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Most of our leather briefcases convert into backpacks, including this one. Run the adjustable shoulder strap through the o-ring on the back of the briefcase, and clip it to the d-rings on the bottom. Now your hands are free to carry more luggage through the airport. This leather briefcase has a false bottom to hide your passport, spare cash, and other secret things. The d-rings are great for strapping on blankets, jackets, and wet sandals. And even the main strap has a hole at the very tip, just in case you overstuff your bag or want to put an umbrella under the flap. The two front pockets actually have hidden pockets behind them too.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials in the Leather Briefcase Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This leather briefcase is made of full grain leather, which is the strongest there is. And then, we line the leather with pigskin, which is more durable than cow skin. Our thread is some of the best in the world. The strong industrial marine-grade polyester thread doesn't deteriorate like Nylon when the sun touches it. Our custom hardware is 316 Stainless Steel which means our clasps can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats. It's the metal of choice for when your life depends on it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAll of our Bags Use Full-Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  We only use full grain leather. Sure, we pay a higher price to purchase full grain leather to make our bags. And we pay more by using traditional craftsmanship. To us, these are essentials to offering a leather briefcase with a 100 year warranty. Leather is like a roof. First, there is plywood, tar paper, and then shingles. The grain is like shingles. It's the toughest and most water-resistant part of the leather. A lot of companies shave off that grain to get rid of scars or blemishes so they can use more of the hide, but by doing so, they get rid of the toughest part. We don't do that.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLeather Briefcases Lined with Pigskin \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Did you know pigskin is actually stronger than cowhide? It is, and that's what we line our leather briefcases with. Not only is it stronger, but it is also more flexible and has a nice feel. We could have left it with just thick full grain leather, but we wanted to give you the best of the best. By using both, you get the best for the inside and the outside of this large briefcase.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Hardware in our Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The hardware on this backpack briefcase is all 316 Surgical Grade Stainless Steel. That's the good stuff. The kind that doesn't corrode, pit, or rust like other metals. It's the best for when your life depends on it, and it's what we use because your life could depend on this briefcase (ya never know, right?).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePolyester, Great for Strong Thread in Leather Bags, but Not Great for Underwear \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Polyester is awful for underwear or sheets, but it is the best for thread. We found the strongest polyester thread and used it in our leather bags. It's a marine-grade, UV resistent polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate when sun hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eInternal Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Two small internal pockets are located in the main compartment, which is great for holding things such as pens, pencils, and other things that you might put in small pockets. The internal compartment is split into two main areas with a large capacity to hold a large laptop or two. So you can fit that huge 17\" laptop in here without a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eExternal Pockets that Mean Business \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  These larger pockets are buckled closed, so you don't have to worry as much about someone coming and opening it up quickly and taking anything. And behind each external pocket, you will find a hidden pocket. This pocket is great for things you might access more often, such as a cell phone or a USB hub, depending on how secure you need it to be and your own packing method.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHidden Compartment in this Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Yes, this briefcase has a hidden compartment that is large enough to fit a passport. It is located on the bottom of the leather bag and can be easily accessed by lifting a strip of leather. You will see it right away. The false bottom is great for hiding things such as money, your passport, or anything else you might not want anyone to find.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eEmergency Cigar Holder \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  When I tell you we thought of everything, we did. In between the front pockets is a pocket that is good for carrying a cigar, a flashlight, pens or pencils, or Epi pens.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Shoulder Straps \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Not everyone wants a shoulder strap; they might prefer the hand strap, and for the backpack feature, we made it removable. The durable shoulder strap is also made of full grain leather, just like our leather bags, and has the same quality stainless steel hardware. It is super strong, so no matter what you carry, it can handle the weight more than any other leather backpack or bag out there.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eGreat for Traveling \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  It is also functional as a great carry-on for short trips or long trips. You can fit your large laptop and maybe even a change of clothes and other gear. For example, you might not want to put your suit jacket inside, but an extra t-shirt and shorts to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967591809310,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-BK-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967591842078,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-CH-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967591874846,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-DCB-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967591907614,"sku":"01-10-0013-LG-TO-NP-C","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/dark-brown-front-pocket-briefcase-on-white-baseball-side__17153.jpg?v=1790349901","url":"https:\/\/saddlebackleather.com\/products\/front-pocket-leather-briefcase","provider":"Saddleback Leather Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
