Saddleback Leather Large Classic Briefcase in Chestnut Brown

Stunning bag in a rich, warm chestnut brown, constructed with such high quality that Saddleback Leather gave it a 100-year warranty that you can pass down to your descendants. For full details, please see https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-briefcase-cl where this bag is still sold for $689. Essential details: fully-tanned, full grain cowhide leather; pigskin lining; 316 stainless steel hardware; German marine-grade polyester thread, and hidden polyester structural strapping. One-owner, purchased new in 2012. It features two large interior sections, four small interior pockets, a hidden flap on the bottom of the larger of the two main interior sections (for hiding valuables), two small exterior pockets, and two long auxiliary straps with buckles that serve for an extra secure closure and to secure umbrellas, jackets, etc to the bottom of the bag. Additionally, you can reconfigure the shoulder strap and turn the bag into a backpack using the O-ring at the top of the bag underneath the handle. Dimensions (W x H x D): 16" x 12" x 9"; the shoulder strap adjusts from 34" - 59" Cosmetically, 7.5/10--note that with leather of this quality, it will become more beautiful with use, developing a rich patina that gives the hue a deeper, warmer saturation (this process has already begun). This bag has shallow scratches throughout from gentle use. I think the scratches make the bag more handsome and give it personality, but I've rated it with a more objective eye.
