Very nice.  Black and tobacco, right?

All tobacco.

While we're at it….. More tobacco.

^Talk about a trained eye.

I used to fish with them all the time.  Then the hinges started disintegrating from the salt water abuse I gave them.  Now I am a dedicated Cost del Mar user…...

This is what the Classic Briefcase (large) Tobacco Brown looks like after 5 years of use. This is 100x better in person. I am truly speechless.

So sic

Blimey, mine looks unused and unloved compared to that, and it's about the same age. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

^^^Nice!!

Semi-off topic but sorta funny - my girl commented about my briefcase (a Jack Georges) the other day 'it's about time to get you a new briefcase, that one is starting to look used'  I responded 'What are you crazy?  It's JUST starting to look good!'

Though I would go with a Saddleback if I did get a new one!

Discussions are underway…..

@Qinhan:

Yes. Both pretty new, especially the tobacco one. I also have a natural Faler Brand one, and I switch between the three of them.

[Qinhan]

That briefcase looks phenomenal.  Just beautiful.

I've been wanting one of these since 2007, but never moved on one..

If IH is doing a collab, that will be the one I get. Patiently waiting…

Here's my large Saddleback in Chestnut. Excuse the rubbish pictures!

Threw some stuff in to show the size:

Rear compartment: 13 inch MacBook, A4 folder, Midori Traveler's Notebook, trade paperback novel
Front compartment: iPad in Portenzo case, A5 notebook, wallet, A6 notebook, Swiss Army Penknife, wool jeep hat, copy of Personal Effects by Hiroshi Fujiwara (seemed appropriate).

Very nice.  That's the suede lined version?
