Everywhere there is a stress point, we reinforce it with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. It's built with the largest pieces of leather we could design it with to minimize the number of stitch holes, and we sew at only five stitches per inch. The leather briefcase's interior is soft, light tan pigskin leather, so light reflects inside, and it's easier to find things in low light. This leather briefcase converts into a leather backpack for when you're commuting or walking in the airport and need your hands free. It has a false bottom to hide your passport and spare cash. On the exterior, there is a big wide front pocket under the flap with an almost as big pocket behind it. It fits laptops, notepads, and files. On the inside, there is a big back interior laptop sleeve for up to 17\" laptops.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials in our Leather Briefcases \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Our leather is the strongest we can find (full-grain boot leather, but thicker), and the pigskin lining is stronger than cow leather. If I'm ever president, I will pass legislation that all leather briefcases are made with full grain leather. Our hardware is made of 316 Stainless Steel which is over-the-top strong. The thread is a strong industrial marine-grade polyester thread in which the sun doesn't deteriorate like nylon does when it hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather Laptop Briefcases \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Full Grain Leather is used because it's the toughest leather we can find. It is the strongest leather that money can buy because none of the grain has been shaven off to get rid of blemishes and scars. Instead, we leave all the grain on there and cut around the bad parts of the hide. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLining Material in our Laptop Briefcases \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The lining material we use in our briefcases is also super tough. We line our briefcases with pigskin leather. Pigskin is much stronger than cowhide. It is also smoother, so your laptop will easily slide in and out. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eStitching in our Leather Briefcases \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The stitching of our leather briefcases is done with the strongest thread available, marine grade polyester thread. This type of thread can withstand the elements and will not deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does. Polyester is horrible as a bed sheet, but it doesn't get any better for an application like this. It is like hot sauce; it's great to dip your chips in, but not so great as an eye drop. That analogy might be a little out there, but I think you'll get it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eYes, it Doubles as a Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  It is as simple as unhooking the leather shoulder strap, then pushing it through the O-ring on the top, and then connecting the ends to the bottom D-Rings, and now you have a leather backpack. These backpacks are perfect for times like a long hike, if you are also trying to carry your luggage, or if you just want to give your shoulders a break.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eDevice Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The large front pocket can fit smaller laptops, tablets, notebooks, files, and other paperwork. Behind that exterior pocket is a hidden pocket with almost just as large a capacity that you can use to carry another device in.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eInterior Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Inside, you will find that we placed two side pockets for pens and pencils; we put one on each end so it would be easier to grab whatever you need without fumbling around.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Side Pocket for your Water Bottle \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  There is a side pocket to slide your water bottle right into without having to open up the whole bag. This makes it easy to carry and access your water or whatever your preferences of drinks might be easy, without even taking the briefcase off your shoulder. And it is not just for water bottles; you can also use it to hold your phone, power hub, or whatever accessories you feel fit in there.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMain Compartment Laptop Area \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  There's a floppy pocket for your 16\" laptop in the main compartment. The main compartment of this briefcase can hold quite a bit more than just your laptop, but we designed it with business people in mind who travel often and need to have their hands free. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eKey Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  We placed a key strap that falls right into the briefcases, so it will be super easy to grab your keys and go. No more fishing around for your keys at the bottom of your bag. Not everyone likes to fill their pockets with things like keys and change and such, so we thought of every detail in the design of this leather briefcase.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Leather Briefcase with a False Bottom \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Below your main interior compartment is a strip of leather that makes a false bottom. This serves to add strength to support your laptop, as well as a hidden area. You can keep extra cash, a passport, ID, a gold coaster, whatever you like can go down there, and if you get robbed, they might take everything out of your briefcase, but they usually will not take the briefcase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967276613918,"sku":"01-10-0022-MD-BK-NP","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967276646686,"sku":"01-10-0022-MD-CH-NP","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967276679454,"sku":"01-10-0022-MD-DCB-NP","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967276712222,"sku":"01-10-0022-MD-TO-NP","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/dark-red-slim-briefcase-on-white-baseball-side___99215.jpg?v=1790349921"},{"product_id":"large-classic-leather-briefcase","title":"Large Classic Leather Briefcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign of the Full Grain Leather Briefcase\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This full-grain leather briefcase is over-engineered in that it has no breakable parts. No magnets, zippers, buttons, or snaps; this briefcase is reinforced with rivets and hidden polyester strapping wherever there is stress. Leather stretches over time, and we didn't want that to happen. So it's designed with the fewest and biggest pieces of leather that make sense. This briefcase can be converted into backpack mode if you need your hands free. It fits all 17\" laptops with a ton of room to spare for everything else you need to carry (within reason, for those thinking they could fit their acoustic guitar in here).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials in Our Leather Briefcases\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The materials in our leather briefcase are full grain leather, pigskin lining, 316 stainless steel hardware, and German industrial marine-grade polyester thread. Our leather is tough and resilient, and our pigskin lining is super strong. Our hardware is 316 stainless steel and is rated to hold up to 750 lbs. Our thread is UV-resistant and German industrial marine-grade polyester thread. In addition, our hidden reinforcing straps ensure that the bag will never stretch and those straps will never deteriorate. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather is key to a Perfect Leather Bag\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Natural Full Grain Leather is the key to a quality leather briefcase. The grain of the hide is like the shingles on a roof. If you take off the top part of the leather (grain) it's like taking the shingles off of the roof. They get rid of the toughest and most resistant layer of the hide. Here's why there are so many cheap leather briefcases out there. When the tannery gets a leather hide from the slaughterhouse, it's really thick. So, the tannery splits the top half with the grain from the bottom half. Now they have two hides to sell. The tough and beasty hide that still has the full amount of grain (full grain) is expensive, and that's what we buy. The low quality bottom half is great for making low quality budget leather briefcases or laptop bags that will dry out and fall apart in a short time. They may look great, but the leather doesn't have any grain, though they have made it to look great.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Lining of the Leather Briefcase\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We glue and sew tough, strong, pigskin leather to the cow leather. And the pigskin is even stronger than the cowskin. We've chosen this instead of using a shiny pretty fabric lining. We want all of our real leather bags to be durable, rugged, and sturdy. Our leather bags are built to look cool, classy and have the durability to outlast you with a 100 year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003e The Best Full Grain Leather Briefcase Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our custom hardware is 316 Stainless Steel. If you are a metallurgist, then I'm sure you just gasped. It's the metal you want to be used when your life depends on it. The testing laboratory told us that our clips were rated to hold up to 750 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThread That Doesn't Fall Apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e And if all of that isn't enough, our thread is unbelievably strong and UV resistant German industrial marine-grade polyester thread. It doesn't deteriorate when the sun hits it like nylon thread does. And we use the thick Double Ought version of it. It's the same thread used on ship sails and parachutes (things your life depends on).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHidden Reinforcing Straps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Polyester is good and bad. The good is that it doesn't stretch and never deteriorates. The bad is that it never deteriorates. When it comes to polyester in your sheets and blankets, you won't sleep as well. But, when it comes to polyester straps sewn into the stress points of a bag, it's the best there is to get that extra strength.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eBackpack Feature\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Our leather briefcase converts into a laptop backpack with a shoulder strap with two shoulder pads. Clip one end of the strap onto a d-ring on the bottom, run the strap through the o-ring, and clip it to the opposite side and you've got yourself a backpack. This makes it super easy and super comfortable to carry your laptop and all other gear and accessories as you would with larger full grain leather messenger bags.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Side Straps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  You can remove the side straps for use as an emergency size 36 full grain leather belt, tie-down, or tourniquet (hopefully you won't need that). But on the bag, they are great for holding wet umbrellas and blueprint tubes to the top of the flap.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eD-Rings on the Bottom\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The d-rings are designed to strap on blankets, dirty boots, and fly rod tubes. They can hold some serious weight and keep them from slipping off the side of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eLeather Briefcase with a Secret Compartment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  There is a hidden flap on the bottom of this leather briefcase for hiding passports, extra cash, your collection of rubies, or whatever else you don't want anyone to know about. This false bottom can be a lifesaver in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Shoulder Strap\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e.  The removable shoulder strap is a handy feature. You can take it off your briefcase to tie the Christmas tree to the rack of your car. The strap on this briefcase is as tough and durable as our quality full grain leather belts.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eExtra Hole to Fill it Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  And just a small detail in the craftsmanship, the main center strap has a hole all the way at the tip for closing when your laptop bag is really overstuffed. This gives you that much extra space in your real Leather Briefcase.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePockets in these Leather Briefcases\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  There is a pocket on the side, a pocket on the back, and pockets on the inside. From a place for your pens to a spot for your wallet in case you lose your pants. With two main compartments inside, you can take two laptops if need be, with room for chargers and accessories. These quality leather briefcases will protect your belongings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967589286174,"sku":"01-10-0001-LG-BK-NP-C","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967589318942,"sku":"01-10-0001-LG-CH-NP-C","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967589351710,"sku":"01-10-0001-LG-DCB-NP-C","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967589384478,"sku":"01-10-0001-LG-TO-NP-C","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/Briefcase_straps_1__16722.jpg?v=1790349894"},{"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).

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.

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 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.

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"},{"product_id":"thin-front-pocket-leather-briefcase","title":"Thin Front Pocket Leather Briefcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign of the Thin Leather Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This thin leather briefcase is over-engineered with no breakable parts like magnets, zippers, velcro, snaps, buttons, etc., and is reinforced at all stress points with rivets and hidden polyester strapping. Leather stretches, but these straps do not. It's built with the largest pieces of leather possible, so there are fewer seams, and we sew at only five stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear.

It still has all of the grain on it. We line the leather briefcase with pigskin for even more strength.

This is the top layer of the hide and has all of the grain, making it tougher and more water-resistant. Most companies will use a cheaper, thinner leather that is easy to process and falls apart in a few years. For our designs, we only use the highest quality materials because we stand behind each one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect Size Thin Leather Briefcase for a 15\" or 16\" Laptop \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This slim leather briefcase is big enough to hold everything you need but not too big or bulky. The dimensions of this briefcase are 15? x 11\" and only 3 1\/2\" thick, so it fits up to 16\" laptops. This makes it only weigh 5 lbs; it is like nothing when you wear this on your back or shoulder. We do make larger bags, but not everyone is trying to carry a 17\" laptop along with a gaming chair in their briefcase. But we do take into account those that need to take a 17\" laptop, and we have a larger leather laptop bag for those.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect Amount of Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  These thin leather briefcases have a main compartment that is the perfect size for a 15\" or 16\" laptop and a notebook, along with a charger and charging cables. It also has two inside pockets for pens and pencils. On the front there are two pockets that buckle closed, keeping things like your wallet or phone safe in transport. Behind those pockets are two more pockets that make it easy access to place your cell phone or even a power hub. This is a great bag to carry your essential belongings to a meeting or to float down a river in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eBack Magazine Pocket \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Yes, we even put a back magazine pocket in this briefcase.

So in this thin leather briefcase, we made a detachable shoulder strap that is also adjustable. I can't tell you how many times I've used a bag strap to tie down luggage. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eD-Rings on the Thin Front Pocket Briefcase \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The bottom of the thin leather briefcase has four d-rings that can be used to hold anything from your umbrella to a rolled blanket or tent and use it like a knapsack. Think outside the office, away from business; it is more than an elegant way to carry your laptop or notebook. You can look professional or casual with this rugged leather briefcase. It is a great bag to have on your back when you go hiking, fishing, traveling, or into the office. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Key Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  A leather key strap inside the main compartment holds your keys, so you don't have to search for them at the bottom of your bag.

It has a casual look but develops a beautiful patina over time. Some people prefer a different style, so for those, we also offer this leather in Dark Coffee Brown and Chestnut (reddish brown). \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003e What makes the Saddleback Thin Leather Briefcase Worth it \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  We care about much more than making money. Sure, that is required to keep a company running, but we care more about making quality leather goods. This is the reason we use only the highest quality materials, and the most durable construction methods possible. Making a difference is our goal in every life that we touch with our designs, so we take it seriously when we say that we will warranty your leather bag for 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967592825118,"sku":"01-10-0014-MD-BK-NP-C","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967592857886,"sku":"01-10-0014-MD-CH-NP-C","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967592890654,"sku":"01-10-0014-MD-DCB-NP-C","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967592923422,"sku":"01-10-0014-MD-TO-NP-C","price":549.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/tan-thin-front-pocket-briefcase-baseball-on-white-side__89380.jpg?v=1790349908"},{"product_id":"flight-bag-leather-briefcase","title":"Flight Bag Leather Briefcase","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Leather Briefcase for Pilots and More!-Newly redesigned\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis bag was designed for pilots, like the one who flew our family to a region of Somalia infested with \u003ca href=\"#terrorist-story\"\u003eAl Shabaab terrorists. \u003c\/a\u003eThese flight bags are over-engineered with no breakable parts like magnets, zippers, snaps, buttons, etc. We only use the strongest materials we can find.

We didn't know about all of the Al-Shabaab terrorist activity and kidnappings in the area, or we probably wouldn't have chosen it for our family vacation, but ignorance is bliss. The last night there was a little freaky. Okay, a lot of freaky hanging out and discussing theology with the witchcraft-practicing angel prophet of Islam, but that's for another place and time (or bag description).So we finally get to our destination, Mike's Camp, run and owned by a British Kenyan named Mike. A charming chap who had made a barefoot luxury Gilligan's Island resort built almost entirely from woven reeds. The walls and floors were 100% woven, and the ceilings were thatched. All of it was supported by branches and sticks.It was SUPER COOL. Unbelievable. And that's why billionaires fly in to stay there all the time. Of course, since we're not billionaires, we flew into Lamu and then took the little skiff to the island, but some people fly in at low tide, land on the beach, and walk up the sand dunes to the camp. It's where you completely unplug. No laptop bags are allowed.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Leather for our Briefcases \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 and is only on the top part. So when companies sand or split off the top part of the hide to get rid of scars and blemishes they don't have to cut around them and throw that leather in the trash. That is the equivalent of taking the shingles off of the roof. But they save a lot of money making a leather briefcase. So we just cut around them and throw the expensive leather in the trash.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Lining \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We lined the leather briefcase with pigskin, which is more durable than the full-grain leather.

Polyester is great and evil. It's great because it never decomposes and holds a leather briefcase or backpack together forever. It is evil in the form of bedsheets because you don't sleep as well. We go with Polyester instead of nylon because nylon deteriorates when the sun hits it, and Polyester doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Hardware \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our 316 Stainless Steel hardware is definitely overkill for a Leather Briefcase, but I tell you this, you NEVER have problems with your briefcase because of the hardware.

From the thick full grain leather to the German thread used in the construction, this briefcase is built to handle whatever you can throw at it. And with a 100-year warranty, you know it'll be around long after you're gone. This leather briefcase was designed specifically for lawyers. It will give the most professional appearance for your legal career.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFunctionality of This Lawyer's Briefcase\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Coolness features are always cool, and this leather briefcase has a few. First, it has the cool Gladstone Bag closure. It opens wide and stays open until you say otherwise. The second coolness feature is the secret hidden flap on the inside bottom. We put one on the bottom of all of our briefcases. The third is the pockets behind the front pockets. Instead of sewing on the front of a pocket and then a flap to save money on leather, we sewed a complete pocket and then sewed it on. You'll see. I put a hole all the way on the tip on the briefcase strap just in case. Also, in case you wanted to close your briefcase but keep it kind of open so you could carry a tube horizontally or vertically in the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePockets for More Organization \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The interior of the Barrister's Briefcase is super spacious with plenty of pockets and a divider to help keep your bag organized. There's a floppy pocket on the front and back interior for a 17\" laptop or documents, and then three smaller pockets for chargers, cables, and smaller accessories. The two obvious front pockets on the outside of the briefcase have not-so-obvious pockets behind them. There's also a leather pocket on the backside of the briefcase for sliding a magazine or book into. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eNo Breakable Parts \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  It was designed with no breakable parts like zippers, velcro, magnets, buttons, or snaps. The hardware is complete overkill, but we guarantee it will not fail you. Any piece of leather on this briefcase that gets tension at all, gets reinforced with a rivet or hidden polyester strapping or both. Leather naturally stretches but those straps don't. And then, we line the leather briefcase with pigskin, which is stronger than the cowskin, instead of some shiny fabric with a world map on it. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAs Few Seams As Possible \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  They don't say, \"He fell apart at the seams\" for no reason. Seams are the weakest link of almost all briefcases. Our rocket science solution was to create as few seams as possible. So, I designed this one with a few very large pieces of leather instead of a whole bunch of little ones. The fewer the pieces, the fewer the seams. A briefcase made with many little pieces sewn together makes it cheaper to produce but will fall apart sooner. Watch our fun seam explanation video, where I show a leather duffle bag made with 85 leather pieces. One time, in New Zealand, I interviewed an old sailmaker who called the sewing machine a perforation machine because the needle makes a lot of holes for it to tear, all in a row. That's why sailmakers sew most parts in a zigzag pattern. It keeps the needle holes from being close to each other or in a row. If we sewed in a zig-zag pattern, it would look dumb, so sew with only five stitches per inch to put more leather between needle holes. This leather briefcase is designed for you to be the first owner, but not the last. Your job is to break it in for the generations to come. And that's why we over-engineer all of our leather bags. It seems like the right thing to do.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This leather briefcase is made of only the highest grade of leather, full grain. So you ask, what's the difference between full grain vs. top grain leather? Read and see a simple explanation of them here. Basically, the grain is the tough, dense fibers on the top quarter of the hide. They're tough as nails and tightly woven together. That grain resists water, stains, and tears. A lot of companies trick is asking the tannery to shave or sand off the top of the hide. Then, with the scars and character gone, they can cut up and use almost the entire hide and save a lot of money making briefcases. Our leather is mineral tanned with Chromium (Cr) to make it even stronger. Chrome tanned leather is the most corrosion resistant leather there is, which means your briefcase is corrosion resistant too. It'll laugh at the rain and extreme heat and then thrive on neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHeavy Duty Hardware \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our hardware is 316 Stainless Steel. That won't mean much to most people, but metallurgists usually gasp for air when I tell them. There are different grades of stainless steel, but this is the toughest one.
