Saddleback Large Thin Leather Briefcase, Dark Coffee Brown, brand new
The listing
Going back into an office soon? Or maybe someone you love, is, and would love a great briefcase? This case is what you need, and want. Does your husband wear a backpack to work, forcing you suppress your revulsion each time you see him, and think "What kind of grown man wears a backpack when not hiking?" If so, buy him this. One brand new large, thin leather briefcase from Saddleback Leather. Saddleback doesn't make this bag anymore, only the smaller version of it. It was $650 when they did make it, and this one has never been used, and remains in the original box. I have a smaller Saddleback that is big enough for me, and I prefer it, and that's the only reason I'd part with this one. 17 inches by 14 by 4 ( at rest, not full expanded ). Will fit most 17" laptops and all 15s or smaller, with room to spare. This is an extremely high-quality briefcase that will probably outlive you, regardless of your age. Saddleback warranties all their products for 100 years.

From Saddleback: No Breakable Parts There are no breakable parts on these leather briefcases like zippers, snaps, buttons, velcro or any other Hello Kitty construction parts. Just hard steel clasps, buckles and d-rings. A billion dollar submarine is a worthless heap of metal if it is designed with a cardboard hatch. And so it is with our satchels. Full Grain Leather Close your eyes and imagine a cow being killed. Now imagine it being skinned. Imagine now that thick hide is sent to the tannery to be tanned. But it’s too thick, so they split it in half, the top half from the bottom. Watch our video of how they tan and split it and watch me ride a longhorn bull in my full leather suit too. Now the tannery has two hides to sell to leather briefcase manufacturers. The strong top half of the hide is sold for a lot of money because it still has the top layer of fibers called the “grain”. They are the strongest, densest and most water resistant fibers of the whole hide. The same fibers that protected the cow from harm and that give leather it’s bareknuckle reputation are the same fibers that we use on each of our leather briefcases and satchels. It’s called FULL GRAIN leather because it has the FULL amount of GRAIN on it. Not only is it strong, but it’s a little thicker than boot leather. And then our thick wristed, calloused handed craftsmen make strong and durable leather briefcases with it. Reinforced Stress Points Anywhere a leather briefcase could get stress, it gets a double layer of leather cut from the hardest part of the hide (the shoulder or along the back), extra stitching, a rivet to back up the briefcase’s stitching and usually a reinforcing hidden Polyester strap sewn in for good measure. Even the best leather satchels and briefcases have leather that stretches over time (it’s called creep), but polyester strapping does not. Tough Lining Instead of lining our leather satchels with some shiny pretty nylon fabric that tears, we glued and then sewed on tough smooth pigskin to the back of the briefcases’ already tough and thick full grain leather. Pigskin is not as tough as kangaroo skin, but it is stronger than cow skin and that makes our leather briefcases twice as strong as a normal briefcase or satchel and much longer lasting. Overkill Hardware A HUGE DEAL. Building a leather briefcase using 316 Stainless Steel hardware is kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but it worked. We’ve never once had a satchel or briefcase have a problem because hardware failed. It’s not Stainless Steel 404 or even 310. It’s Stainless 316 and that’s why it’s a big deal for any briefcase. Please look that up later. If you tell a metallurgist about our 3
