      I have a Saddleback bag that's lined with their standard pigskin. It's really quite stiff with the lining. The color of my bag will eventually look like Blackfrostt's, but I'm not sure if it will ever get as floppy and broken-in looking with the stiff lining. Time will tell I guess.

        @gbougard:

        I have to check if and how it can fit in my motorcycle case, them I'm tempted to pull the trigger. Fucking yummy piece of hardware.

        Or lets put it differently: what size do I need for a 13 inch mac + cords in a nylon case with outside pockets for the adapter and cords, an ipad, a note book, a couple of file folders about 1 inch thick, plus sneakers, t shirt, underwear, shirt and a folded lungee plus toothbrush?

        Is the L or even the M sufficient?

        I dont know the dimensions of your motorcycle case, I think ALL of the items mentioned could fit in a LARGE with creative packing..

        @Qinhan:

        Blackfrostt, your bag is made using the tobacco-colored leather, right?

        Yes,this bag is an XL Classic Briefcase/Unlined in Tobacco Brown..

        Thanks, I'm thinking of the XL chestnut. Looks yummy yummy. Just got some unexpected $$$ so nows the time. I like their waterbags too. And their backpacks. And their wallets… And their totes look good for my lovely wife. Holy shit....

          Mine's chestnut. I'm away right now, but can post pictures later in the week with a 13" MacBook sticking out of it, if that helps any.

                        I'm excited to hear what Dave has to say. Have you checked out the product review videos on their site, G? The guy seems like a good dude, and he shares your and H's standard of excellence.

                              Yeah, I figured there would be a mutual respect between IH and Saddleback. You both focus on quality and classic style.

                              Videos reviews are a fantastic idea. Nice work, Alex.

                                This is a bit tongue and cheek, but at the rate Dave and Haraki over-engineer and develop their products, I'm really excited for the first IH X Saddleback release in 2018!!

                                But seriously, only great things can come from this. I hope Dave is game! I've been using Saddleback products for a few years now, and they're always fantastic. My 634-XHS are being held up with a Saddleback Black Carbon Tow Belt as we speak.

                                    Jeff, for you, a large briefcase would be just right. What color? That's the really hard question to answer. I have a medium tobacco classic briefcase and I love it.

                                          I have their "old bull" belt and absolutely love it. It's a beast of a strap of leather! I'm dying for their tobacco briefcase. Been wanting one for years. I think it's about time to pull the trigger. (As soon as this major remodel us done!)
