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). 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.

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"},{"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.

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. You know, when you are on that long flight and just want to unwind with some Field and Stream, or maybe you want to catch up on the latest National Geographic. Now you have a place to put it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eDetachable Shoulder Strap \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Not everyone likes a shoulder strap on their leather briefcase, and sometimes you just need a quality thick strap of full grain leather for other things. 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.

Man Bag) is over-engineered with no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, buttons, etc., and is reinforced with polyester straps and rivets at all stress points. It's built with just two main pieces of leather, 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. This leather satchel is 10\" x 11\" x 3\" so it will hold a tablet, a few books, and all of your daily carry essentials. The d-rings are great for strapping on tripods, light jackets, or some wet river shoes. I chose a buckle closure to be able to overstuff (with a hole at the very tip of the strap, just in case). The shoulder strap is adjustable and removable.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eOrigin of Leather Satchels \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The word \"satchel\" comes from the Old French sachel, which itself comes from the Latin saccellus or saccullus, meaning money bag, or even deeper, saccus, meaning \"bag\" or \"sack\". The word was first used in English in the 14th century. The leather satchel has been around for many centuries, and its origins can be traced back to medieval Europe. It was initially designed as a functional bag for carrying books and other items, and it wasn't until later that it became a stylish accessory. In the old days, a schoolboy always carried his books in a leather satchel. And in the summer, he might even hold a frog or two in it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather to make a Satchel \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our cow leather is the super-strong full-grain leather (like boot leather, but thicker). Not Top Grain or Genuine, but Full Grain. Low-quality, low-life companies shave off the grain, which is the tough and resistant top part of the hide, to get rid of those eww icky scars, so they don't have to cut around them and throw the leather away. That is how they can use almost every bit of that hide. To make our leather satchels, we throw a lot of leather away because we refuse to shave the grain off. It's like they're shaving the shingles off of your roof. There ought to be a law. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Lining of our Satchel \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The pigskin lining is stronger than the cow leather, and that's why we use it instead of some pretty shiny nylon fabric with a neat world map on it. These are more features that represent the love that we put into our bags.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eAbnormally Strong Thread to Keep the Leather Satchel Held Together \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The thread is abnormally strong. It's actually a marine-grade UV-resistant polyester thread that they use to sew things that people's lives could count on parachutes, ship sails, etc. So if your life ever depends on this leather satchel staying together, you'll live to tell that story.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eHardware in the Leather Satchel \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Our own custom hardware is the incredible 316 Stainless Steel (please please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. It's complete overkill for our leather bags, but it's how we can guarantee the hardware will never fail you.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Saddleback Satchel will last a Lifetime \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Full Grain Leather is a tough, durable material lasting at least ten decades. Not only can it withstand the elements and keep your belongings safe, but it also looks good even after years of use.There's a reason why our leather satchels are so popular they're built to last! The sturdy design is designed to hold up under heavy use, so you won't have to worry about them falling apart on you as soon as you start using them.

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.

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.

The hide off the cow is thick, and at the tannery, they usually split it in the middle and separate the top from the bottom, and now they have two hides. The upper hide with the full amount of the grain on it, and the bottom hide with no grain on it. Quality companies pay high dollar for the full grain leather, and low quality trash companies make leather toiletry bags out of the bottom dwelling stuff with no grain on it.

It's made of 316 Stainless, and we think it could withstand a nuclear bomb. Google it, and you'll be really impressed. It's expensive, but it's the metal of choice for when your life depends on it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Difference between a Men's Toiletry Bag and a Dopp Kit \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Back in WWI, the military started issuing toiletry bags to the soldiers. Then a few years later, a man named Charles Doppelt made them for civilians and called them \"Dopp Kits\". I believe even the best Dopp kits don't compare to the quality of this toiletry bag. Whether you are using it for all your toiletries and grooming products or to hold your collection of old coins or other gear, this will be a timeless addition to your collection of fine leather goods.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003ePart of your Travel Kit \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Frequent Travelers will keep their bag loaded and ready.

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. Our clips can actually hold up to a 750 lb bag of cats over the edge of a 2000 ft. cliff without breaking. So let's just say it's the kind of metal you'd want to use if your life depended on it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Toughest Thread \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our thread is a German thread they use for making sails for ships. It is a UV resistant industrial marine-grade Polyester thread and the strongest and toughest we could find. And it's thick too. Nylon thread deteriorates with heat and UV rays from the sun. But ours doesn't. Polyester is good and bad. The good part is that it lasts forever. The bad part is that it lasts forever. It's perfect for you if it's in the form of thread and really bad for you if it's in the form of bed sheets or underwear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59967886295326,"sku":"01-10-0031-BK","price":709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59967886328094,"sku":"01-10-0031-CH","price":709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee Brown","offer_id":59967886360862,"sku":"01-10-0031-DCB","price":709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59967886393630,"sku":"01-10-0031-TO","price":709.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/dark-red-barristers-briefcase-on-white-baseball-side__17397.jpg?v=1790393100"},{"product_id":"urban-leather-tote","title":"Urban Leather Tote","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This full-grain leather tote bag was designed to be simple, functional, and stylish.

And this leather backpack with pockets is no exception. It was purposefully designed with no breakable parts like zippers, snaps, or velcro. And any stress spot is reinforced with Polyester straps hidden beneath the leather and riveted. The body of this leather backpack is built with just two big pieces of leather, which means there aren't many seams. The fewer the seams, the stronger the backpack because backpacks come apart at the seams before anywhere else. And then we only sew 5 stitches per inch, so there are as few holes as possible. Quality can be measured in Seam Feet (how few feet of seams a bag has. We made that term up).\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials used to create this Leather Backpack with Pockets \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This backpack is made out of strong materials. The full grain leather is very tough and more resistant to water. The lining is made from pigskin, which is even stronger than cowhide. The hardware is made from 316 Stainless Steel, which is very strong and will not rust. The thread used to sew the backpack together is Polyester, which does not deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eFull Grain Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e The leather of this backpack is the strongest and most water-resistant we can find (full grain), and then we line it with pigskin, which is stronger than the cow skin. It's rare for a low-quality company to use full grain to make a leather backpack because it's so expensive. When I say \"Full Grain Leather\" I mean that it still has all of the tough, tightly woven fibers on the top of the hide.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Genuine Leather Backpack is Missing the Strength \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Most companies shave off the scars and blemishes from the top of the hide (watch how they shave it here at minute 6:30) and shave off the strongest and best part of the hide (the grain) while doing it. They shave it down to genuine leather. They do it, so they don't have to cut around the marks and throw those pieces into the trash as we do. We throw away 25% of the hide. They don't throw hardly anything away. But since it still has leather, they can call it a genuine leather backpack. It will not last nearly as long and is missing the beauty. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Vegan Leather Backpack is Plastic Garbage \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vegan leather is ridiculous.

Check that one off the list of potential problems. Our large pieces of hardware on our backpacks are rated strong enough to hold a 750 lb. bag of cats before it gives. Seriously, I hope you google it to understand more. If your life is going to depend on any metal, let it depend on 316 Stainless Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThe Best Thread to Hold it all Together \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e We sew it all together with thick and strong Polyester thread.

You'll see old pictures with a fat flat handle, but the new one is high and thinner. And it's still over-engineered. It has no breakable parts like buttons, magnets, or zippers and it's still reinforced with rivets through and hidden polyester strapping at all stress points. In addition, this newest edition of this leather backpack is made from only two large solid pieces of leather instead of three, which means that there are fewer seams on this backpack to tear apart. This leather backpack has a laptop pocket on the front exterior and one in the back that can fit a 17\" laptop. Both tall side pockets have a hidden pocket behind them for quick access or for sticking in longer things. The lower and side d-rings on the backpack are great for securing on tripods, blankets, and or dirty and wet shoes. The shoulder straps are minimal, but with a comfortable and adjustable shoulder pad to distribute the backpack's weight where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials used to make the Best Full Grain Leather Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Full-grain leather is the strongest and most water-resistant leather you can use for a backpack, and we use the thick version of it. Like boot leather, but a tad thicker. Then we line it with pigskin, which is tougher than cow leather. Finally, we sew the leather backpack together with a very expensive German industrial marine-grade polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does. The hardware is our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware. I believe we are the only company in the world using such strong hardware to make a leather backpack. The buckles can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats without breaking. It's kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but I tell you this, you'll never have a problem with hardware breaking on your backpack. If it does break, it'll either be an excellent story or an unfortunate one.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of a Leather Backpack or any Full Grain Leather Bag \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e There are many advantages of a leather backpack. Let us start with a full grain leather bag will develop a beautiful patina over time and tell your story. The more you use this backpack, the better it looks. This will also protect your belongings from the elements better than some synthetic material. Full grain is the most water-resistant, so a little rain won't hurt it. That's what you get with high quality leather goods. Another significant advantage of our Squared Leather Backpack is that it's virtually impossible to tear.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMakes a Perfect Leather Laptop Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This Tank of a backpack is not for the faint of heart.

You see, the fewer seams a leather backpack has, the fewer seams there are to start a rip. And not only that, but we only allow 5 stitches per inch of our seams, so there is more leather between holes and, therefore, fewer holes to start a tear. I once interviewed a second-generation sailmaker in New Zealand. He referred to a sewing machine as a perforation machine and said the fewer holes, the stronger the sail. That stuck with me. It's the same with this leather backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eMaterials in this Thin Leather Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This leather backpack is entirely made of full-grain leather, the strongest and most water-resistant leather. And it's a little thicker than boot leather. We could have saved money, used something less pricey like top grain leather, or saved even more and made a genuine leather backpack. But we didn't worry about the price of the best natural leather.

The leather of this backpack is the tightest, strongest, and most resistant cow leather we can buy. None of the top layers of grain was shaved off to get rid of icky icky scars or natural marks. It's full grain leather and was designed with no breakable parts like zippers, velcro, magnets, buttons or snaps. Any piece of leather on this backpack that gets pushed or pulled on is reinforced with hidden polyester strapping, a rivet, or both. Leather naturally stretches but those straps don't. And then we line it with pigskin instead of some shiny world map fabric because the pigskin is tougher than the cowskin.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eThis Backpack Will Not Fall Apart At The Seams \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"They fell apart at the seams\" isn't a saying for no reason. Seams are the weakest point on almost any backpack. So our solution for that universal problem was to design our backpack with pieces so big, we don't have to use more than two or three of them. The fewer the pieces, the fewer the seams. FYI, a backpack made with a lot of little pieces sewn together makes it cheaper to produce because it saves leather in the cutting process, but it makes for a weak backpack. To see what I mean, watch our fun leather seam explanation video, where I show a leather duffle bag made with 85 pieces of leather. \u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eOld Sailmaker Wisdom Went Into Making This Backpack \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e In New Zealand one time, I interviewed an old sailmaker. He said that a sewing machine is a perforation machine because all of those needle holes next to each other tear easily. So, they try to keep the needle holes as far apart from the next one as they can. That's why we only sew our leather backpacks with 5 stitches per inch, so there is more leather between each needle hole.\u003c\/p\u003e---\u003ch2\u003eA Leather Backpack Designed For Generations \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e This leather backpack is designed for you to be the first owner.

We used a similar Gladstone Bag closure for the Leather Flight Bag. It opens wide and stays open until you say otherwise. You can reach down into it if it's on the floor next to your chair or if it's wide open laying on the table in front of you. And the second coolness feature is the smaller front pocket that opens 90 degrees with that same metal frame closure.

A lot of companies sand or split off the top of the hide with all of the grain to get rid of the scars and blemishes but remove all of the grain. It's like taking off the shingles of the roof. You still have a roof, but it won't last long. And then lined the thick leather with pigskin, which is stronger than the cow skin. And if this leather overnight bag weren't strong enough with that, we sew it all together with our strangely strong industrial marine grade and UV resistant polyester thread. Nylon thread is cheaper but it deteriorates when the sun hits it. Our custom hardware is maybe a little overkill. It's 316 Stainless Steel (please please google it). The clasps have been tested to hold up to 750 lb bags of cats without breaking. When we put the next cat in there, it broke. There's really no other leather leather duffle bag like it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI designed this one with a good amount of pockets in it relative to our other leather duffle bags.

Therefore, there are only two really big pieces of leather with a solid piece sewn on each end of this travel bag. And we sew the leather at only 5 stitches per inch, so there's more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. I designed it to be versatile. Buckled smaller at the first hole to be smaller or expanded way out jam-packed, buckled at the last hole. The dimensions are ideal to be able to fill it up and be around a 50 lb. limit. You could fit a dead body in it, like a deer or wild hog or something. This beast of a leather duffle bag is for big travel where a lesser man's luggage just won't do.

Therefore, it's the strongest cow leather there is, and that's what we use. And we use thick full-grain. It's then lined with pigskin, which is tougher than cowskin. This pigskin lining adds incredible strength combined with the cowskin. Our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware is amazing (please, please google it). It's the metal of choice when your life depends on it. The thread is strangely strong industrial marine grade UV resistant polyester thread. And thick.

This makes it fit nicely into overhead compartments on planes.

The Gladstone closure eliminates breakable parts like zippers, magnets, snaps, and buttons from being used. Over time leather stretches, but we reinforce all stress points with rivets and hidden polyester strapping to prevent this. The two front pockets also utilize the Gladstone closure, making them unlike any travel duffle bag we have ever seen. They can hold an excessive amount of things. Like all your mini travel size personal care bottles, all your charging cables, passports, and other important documents, or even socks and undergarments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe only use the highest grade and strongest leather on this travel duffle bag, called full-grain leather. What is full grain leather, you ask? Well, the easiest way to explain it is that it doesn't have any top layers shaved off of it. A great analogy I like to use is comparing the top grain of leather to the shingles on a house. The top grain (shingles) is the toughest and most protective part on the cowhide (roof). We don't shave any layers off of our leather; we like the strength and character it offers. The leather we use is mineral tanned with Chromium (Cr). Chrome tanned leather is the most corrosive resistant leather you can get, which means your leather Front Door Duffle bag is corrosion resistant as well. Our custom 316 stainless steel hardware can be used if your life depends on it. It'd be what you would want, as a matter of fact. If you google it, you'll be incredibly impressed, but metallurgists give me some pretty crazy looks when I tell them it's what I use on our bags. The inside, opposite the two front pockets, has a big open pocket made from pigskin, which also lines the entire interior. Pig skin is even stronger than the full-grain leather we use. We sew it all together at only 5 stitches per inch using incredibly strong polyester thread. We do this so that there is more leather between the needle holes and fewer holes to start a tear. And our thread will not deteriorate like nylon thread when the sun hits it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFunctionality\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are so many cool features on this leather duffle bag. First and foremost, the mid-18th century Gladstone Bag closure we used on the main compartment and the two front pockets is built for a lifetime of use. This came from a time when zippers weren't a thing yet, and they needed to keep the leather bag closed for travel. When opened, it stays open, and it's really wide, so it's easy to dig around when you're trying to find that surprise gift you brought to give your significant other. I put holes all the way out to the tip of the three straps that secure the closures. This way, you can cram-pack every crevasse and still be able to strap it securely closed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saddleback","offers":[{"title":"Chestnut","offer_id":59968454263070,"sku":"01-60-0008-CH","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Coffee","offer_id":59968454295838,"sku":"01-60-0008-DCB","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tobacco","offer_id":59968454328606,"sku":"01-60-0008-TO","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1081\/3371\/2158\/files\/DSC_6356__53919.jpg?v=1790393768"},{"product_id":"20-baby-beast-duffle-bag","title":"20\" Baby Beast Duffle Bag","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJust 3 Pieces of Leather \u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Made with just three big pieces of full-grain leather, the Three-Strap Leather Duffle bag is designed to be simple and tough.
