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?
Yes, but then when I bought it I don't think there was a choice. I've had it a five or six years at least.
-
Mine is suede lined also. I think that's all there was on the older bags
-
Just had another look and I think it must be suede. Never seen the alternative though, so I'm guessing that's what it is, as it's soft.
-
huh…. :-\ I guess from the looks of yours michaeljcr, mine is suede lined also.. (it looks the same inside) I'll take pics in the room and post later.... adding the suede lining wasn't an option when I bought mine also... I do have a large belt pouch and a medium which is lined, (but at home in the states currently) and it looks NOTHING like the inside of my briefcase (its a smooth leather). I just assumed my classic was unlined...

I've been obsessing on the USPS website to monitor the progress of the shipment. I freaking hate it when the thing seems stuck at some intermediate point for several days… Totally idiotic juvenilism, I know...
-
Actually, mine has two different interior surfaces. The lining in the front and back compartments is different to the sides, which are unlined. So, the front lining could be pigskin, I honestly have no idea now!
Never really gave it much thought before as it wasn't an option, so far as I remember. -
The USPS's tracking info is the worst. I almost feel like they shouldn't even offer it. They should just have a web page that reads, "It'll get there when it gets there."
This is absolutely true.

The horrible thing with USPS is that once it reaches France, packages are then handled by the French Post Office, which uses different shipping numbers, so it is impossible to track the shipments or know which PO branch is handling the package or whatever. At the end of the day, I always have my things, but the aggravation of having to go to the post office, ask a lady to assist in tracking can be a pain in the butt… Mind you, the ladies working at the post office here are really nice, and do try to help, no problem there. It's just not like Fedex or UPS.

Received my medium tobacco bifold today. Hit it with some Obenauf LP and am waiting for it to fully absorb then I'll load it up.
Fresh out the USPS sleeve.

Very nice wallet
How does it feel? Super super strong and indestructible? Comparable to what IH is offering? -
when did they start branding the outside of the wallet as well as the inside? seems a bit redundant, no?
