    That is the finest piece of briefcasery I do believe I’ve seen! As an independent business guy slogging it out against the 800 lb. gorillas in my field, I can only imagine that when looked upon, that Saddleback Leather Co. case would have my clients begging me to take their orders because it screams here’s a classy guy who truly needs your money!

    This would make a nice combination briefcase and laptop bag for my work in the semiconductor industry here in Silicon Valley.

    Was recently caught-up in a corporate downsize… one of those “we really like you… you do an amazing job and we have no complaints… BUT, we have eliminated your position and you have 20 minutes to box your stuff”… which explained the looming security guy. In my rush to grab pics and delete a few files from my former notebook, I left my former briefcase under my former desk. I’ll rebound. This handsome Saddleback Leather Co. briefcase would help me do that in style.

    I am a soon to be recent graduate, breaking my way into the job market in a time of high unemployment and less job opportunity than many recent graduates in the lass 50 years. The beautiful handbags designed and created by Saddleback is one aspect the could set me apart from the rest of piranhas that are gunning for the same job that I am. It would be such a a treat to graduate have such a bag at my side for the adventures in front of me.

    I would love to give it to my husband so he could use it as his office briefcase.

    I’ve been looking for a unique briefcase for a few years. I would like to have this briefcase becaue it’s the first one I’ve seen that stands out above the rest, and won’t make me look like a stereotypical corporate lawyer for a wall street firm (I’m an engineer). The craftsmanship is obvious, even from the picture.

    Me?

    Wow when i first saw this saddleback i thought this should be tied down on John Waynes horse.
    My second thought was the build of the bag continues to bring to mind just as the full cut rigged
    leather brings out the rugged idealistec characterics of what John Wayne stands for in or society. So why i would like to have the saddleback? So i can ingrave the gunslingers creed that is quoted from the last movie John Wayne was in called ” The Shootest”

    “I wont be wronged, i wont be insulted,i wont be layed a hand on, i dont do these things to other people and i require the same from them.”

    Everytime i pick up that leather briefcase i would think of all the memories of my sons and i watching old John Wayne movies and how they will pass on the tradition. As the tradition upholds so will this amazing saddleback company briefcase.
    -Thankyou,

    It is beautiful, elegant, and classic.

    I need a sweet briefcase like this one. I’m student teaching which means Im working for free. This would allow me to stop carrying around a backpack and looking like the students.

    I would truly love this bag because it is cool and I need some additional cool to go with my otherwise aging geek personna. As a 53 year old geek who remains completely in tune with current tech trends but who works in the non profit sector and thus dresses more like an aging hippy, this accessory would really make me stand out. And I feel I am a stand out kinda guy because of my huge contributions in the social services and health care arena. Too bad the “BGR” logo is not also embossed — because that would cause the cool meter to redline!

    Two reasons….

    I’ve been out of work for two years and am starting a new career – not just a new job tomorrow. Would help me make a great first impression.

    Secondly, I’ve long been a fan of this bag, but have never been able to afford one…

    Ok. Here’s why I want this — no, need this. This past year has been one of the best of my life — the birth of a son. But with that comes baby gear. Not just a crib, but diaper bags, strollers, outfits, etc. The baby is well equipped. Dad, on the other hand? Not so much anymore. Lots of “cute” things for the baby. No man’s gear comes in the house these days.

    This bag deserves a home here for three reasons. 1) Dad wants something for himself – and, frankly, this is something I lust after; 2) It’s the perfect bag to haul my gear and toss some baby things in good measure (death to traditional diaper bags!); 3) I would love to use this for decades and eventually pass down to my son when he’s older.

    So — that’s my story and also who the next owner of the bag will be. So, think of giving it to me as giving it to a temporary owner and an eventual owner.

    I am a connoisseur of fine goods who often celebrates the exquisite beauty of a fine leather briefcase like this. I have been longing for a first-class leather bag for many rotations around the sun. If anyone deserves this bag, it is someone who will not only carry it proudly, but someone who will treat this bag with the highest level of care. My qualifications as an experienced bag carrier shall go unquestioned, as I have been toting for years. This bag is stunning and my desire is unwavering.

    I would like this briefcase because it has a timeless elegance which should be appreciated and cherished for years to come.
