Each case was thoughtfully designed and over-engineered. Like they used to make them, but better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"grandfather-overnight-case","title":"Grandfather Overnight Case","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign of the Grandfather Overnight Case\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eI designed the leather Grandfather Overnight case with a new \"cool factor\" that separates it from the other cases in the Grandfather Collection. The Overnight Case can be packed in two different ways:1) You can stand it upright, open the lid from the front side, and stack your clothing or whatever you're traveling with that way. I find this way to be super efficient, as you don't have to dig through the case to find your favorite outfit. It's all stacked up right there in front of you, unlike in a travel bag. This also prevents your clothes from tumbling around and getting wrinkled when you're carrying it.-OR-The Grandfather Overnight Case is a durable, high-quality case perfect for all types of travel. It is made with a custom 316 Stainless Steel and features a super thick thread that is industrial, marine grade, and UV resistant. 2) You can lay it down flat like most conventional suitcases and open the lid up from the top side. The lid features two really big pockets for extra storage that would make a great place to store charging cables, small carry items, medications, and maybe even hide some money in a pocket so your wife doesn't find it.The Grandfather Overnight Case is ideal for 2-3 day travel and fits in the carry-on bins if you're flying. Just be aware that people at the airport will ask you where you got it, so be prepared for their envy of your style. See, it's more than a great travel case. It serves double duty as a piece of functional art. You will feel good with this on your shoulder; much better than just a simple leather duffle bag or other overnight bags.The edges and corners are all hand stitched and all stress points are reinforced with rivets so it won't wear out over time. Doing it this way takes a really long time to make, but they will last at least 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSaddleback Leather is always committed to quality materials. When I create a design like this leather overnight case, I take into account anything that might fail and make it so it won't. That starts with the best design, continues with the best materials, and ends with solid craftsmanship. That is how we can give a 100 year warranty and know they will fight over it when you're dead.Leather Our leather Grandfather Overnight Case is designed with real full-grain leather, and it's really thick. Most (low level) companies sand off the grain (the toughest, most water-resistant part of the leather hide) to get rid of scars and marks so they can use the entire hide to make bags. This is part of what allows them to sell cheap leather. What we do is just cut around the ugly parts and throw most of that leather away. Pay attention to the type of leather; always stick to full grain leather when shopping for quality.Lining We lined the leather Overnight Case with pigskin, which is stronger and more durable than the cow skin. It's also somewhat soft and smooth to touch, so it will protect any valuables from scratches and other damage. Hardware One of the coolest materials we use is our custom 316 Stainless Steel. It's a fun one to research; look it up on Google. It can hold up to 750 lbs. So if your life is depending on something, you're going to want it to depend on this metal. Thread Our super thick thread is incredibly strong industrial, marine grade, UV resistant polyester. It doesn't deteriorate in the sun. I really wish more designers would use it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBetter Than an Overnight Bag\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Grandfather Overnight Case is much better than just an overnight bag.

You can fold and stack your clothes, shoes, toiletries, and other travel gear with plenty of space for a couple of days of travel.

Plus, it's highly resistant to stretching and cracking, so it maintains its shape and integrity, even when it's packed to the brim with essentials.

Here's why that's so important. The leather's grain is on the top of the hide and is the most durable part. The grain helps it age handsomely and stay water resistant (cows are waterproof, right?). Most companies buy low quality, heavily scarred-up leather, shave off the scars and blemishes (along with all of the grain) to save as much money as they can by being able to use more of the hide. If they shave off some of the grain, that's top grain leather. If they shave all of it off or split the hide in half, that's called genuine or split leather. We WANT as much grain on our suitcases and other baggage as we can get. We want it all. Therefore, we must select three hides with almost no imperfections to make each leather suitcase. And then, completely unnecessarily, I lined the suitcase interior with tough, durable pigskin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne time, we were taking a two month trip around the world, filming a documentary on the making of our canvas line, Mountainback. We had my wife and I, our two little kids, and our filmmaker, Joe. There were eight full 50 lb. Leather Suitcases and Beast Duffle Bags are packed for cold weather (Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand) and hot weather (Kenya and Rwanda). We also had 2 large carry-ons per person. You can imagine the size of the vehicle we needed to rent to fit all of our things. Well, when we got to Australia, low and behold, they only had tiny little vehicles to rent. This would have stressed out any traveler with lesser luggage, but not us. So I took the two removable belts off our suitcases and strapped most of the luggage to the cute little roof rack.The suitcase is not lightweight, but it's not too heavy either. It is the right balance to make it challenging to fit 50 lbs. (23 kgs) into it. The interior is just one simple wide open space with two interior straps to hold clothes in place like they used to make them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eDurability\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the first major trip with my first suitcase, I carried this leather suitcase and my leather briefcase throughout Eastern Europe and North Africa for about 6 weeks. And about 3 weeks into it, the suitcase handle broke. The added complexity and energy exerted made me swear that would never happen to anyone who carried one of my suitcases.The handle is now bolted onto the leather suitcase and hand-sewn with boot-cord to the body. It is scarce for leather luggage to have this sort of serious consideration, but I wanted you to have the best leather luggage set you can get. Good wasn't enough; great leather luggage takes time to be designed right, then it needs to be used and abused to discover any changes that can make it better. We did that.There are no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, buttons, etc. Using those is like putting a cardboard hatch on a billion-dollar submarine. Once the hatch breaks, the submarine is worthless. So instead of metal hinges, I designed them with a double layer of full grain leather along the back. And the body is mostly handsewn with heavy-duty waxed boot cord for added strength.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eIf It Seems to be too Good to be True, It Probably is - Except This Time\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoin Our Newsletter Now For Free.
