Any idea of the brand of double-sided solid brass rivets Moose Leather uses?

And FOUR YEARS since --- still no follow-up review. What a f**king liar.

Nice, does the material look like something that will last?

I work in a formal office setting where I'm, for example, always in a tie and cuff links. There is thus virtually no Saddleback briefcase for me. Unfortunate but that's how it is

Interesting. Buffalo Jackson does have their "limited edition" bags that are veg-tanned. I was looking into their ROOSEVELT BUFFALO LEATHER PILOT BAG. It sells for $399. I would be interested to see a review on this bag or any other of their other bags. Curious, I don't see a lot of video reviews for Buffalo Jackson.

How did it patina?

Seems lighter than buck brown? I’m dying to get one but fear too big for my 4-6 cards needs.? How does it look now? 2:40 how many cards is that?

01:33 The workshop apron was also available in dark coffee brown. I chose the dark coffee brown since i didn’t want food\oil\grease stains to be too noticeable.

hi! great review, i ordered 2 bags just to see what i was dealing with...after inspection and 5 min , I packed up the bags and sent them back....very thin strap and cheap like buckles just....not good. Then I saw this was made in India...ehhh, not good. Id rather get from made in USA ...I usually give all the leather makers (USA types) love, they all do their craft and ensure the bags last a log time.

I would love to see how this wallet is holding up now!

I have several bags by this company and I love them all. I love the patina look. It's the story behind the leather.

I have had one i use for over 10 years, can't remember when I bought it now. 10+ for certain. No regrets...

Hey man, this is a really useful vid. I wonder: how did you treat the edges originally? A burnish? Edge paint?

Beautiful

I have this bag and love it. If I had to do this again I would buy the larger version of this bag. If you plan on traveling with this you could put a few clothing items inside. This bag is perfect for daily work carry but after office/work items you will have no space for travel items.

How is the bag holding up? Kindly make an update video.

Thank you! The video was helpful to make a decision on whether or not to buy this bag. That being said, didn’t appreciate so much shade being thrown at India in the process (and not even have data points to support the allegations). If you wanted the “superior” craftsmanship and better leather, why didn’t you just pay extra and buy something made in Europe instead? Struggling to understand how someone reviewing leather products can expect to get a full grain leather bag for such a low price point without any corners cut 😊

Great. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

That Saddleback thin front pocket backpack is different than mine.. the buckle is higher and the buckle that holds the main compartment together is different. Mine has a leather strap through chrome holes that’s cinches the bag closed..

It is too heavy, how could it be less?

It is so crispy! How does it feel? 😮

I wish they would bring back the wood insides.

Do you still use leather cases? And if so, what brands have you switched to?

nice wallet :) but this is not full grain leather top grain I can say

I have two Saddleback bags and LOVE them (both over 6 years old). Just purchased this bag for my son.

Just purchased one in the russet finish about a week ago. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for your video as it was a great help in making my decision.

I've always loved the look of the Filson Rucksack, but I cannot figure out where they were going with it. It looks phenomenal on the back...until you start putting anything in it that'll bulk it up. They put zippers...on a back with a strap closure. It's a rucksack with skinny leather shoulder straps. Not the greatest for carrying heavy things. They couldn't decide between modern and vintage...and took the worst aspects of both. It's like the Medium Field Bag...but they added another strap and a zipper. In all honesty, I wish they did a collaboration with Frost River and make the Isle Royal Mini in Rugged Twill...then you have what this should have been.

Saddleback bags are over priced, chrome tanned junk.

New saddleback iPhone 13 cases are more gripping on the phone and mine is great

oh wow you sound like a guy that's very difficult to please ( I mean like mentioning the microscopic minimal logo that you could have done without) and they still nailed it . That says a lot about them. Glad you made this video.

Do you still use the case?

What a piece of shit!😂 less than 2yrs and the bottom fell out! Get a Saddleback Leather backpack and be done with it.

Nice heavy duty wallet, just needs more cc slots.

Does the front strap not have the saddleback branding on it?

can you fit a water bottle in the side pocket?

How well do you like the monogram? I am about to send them a big order and want would like to monogram the items. Or I may go to a third party to laser engrave them with my signature.

In my expereince of close to 10 years with saddleback....Chrome tanning somehow leaves the core material and skin wanting to separate or not seem to be homegenious...and you get bunching and cracking of the outer surface layer. You can see it in this vid. I've sent many items back due to this. I only buy the tobacco as this seems to resist this the most. I wish they offered veg tanned versions. Chamberlains doen't help this....nor anything else I've tried.

I had the Saddleback Case on my 11 Pro Max for just under two years. Recently upgraded to a 13 Pro Max - and have bought another Saddleback Case. Love the case - it took months to break in - a great case. Mine was never super tight - but my phone never once fell out of the case - so your mileage may vary. I dropped a few times and the leather provided excellent protection. My case went from light chestnut to a dark walnut. I regularly conditioned my case.

I love saddle back products, but only to llok it for 28 mins video is boring.... Th video actually starts from th 15th min. Before tht is all talks

Do you prefer the Leather Shop or Saddleback Leather bag ?

What stuff you used to clean your wallet?

Just received my Stock & Barel Redford Western wallet and it's obvious they have become a vivtim of their succes and now produce and ship shoddily manufacured wallets (certainly the one they sent to me). I have contacted them about my complaints and never heard back from them! Sewing machine marks from having the machine pressing too hard on the leather when stitching. It’s the same on the other side as well. Poor fit on the outside piece of leather which once folded stretches the leather, which in turn shows the poor dye quality; as the dye really didn’t penetrate well enough into the leather and when folded shows that. Slip-shod dye quality as the inside was not even completely dyed before assembly and shipping. Now I guess I could could understand all these defects, “if, I had bought one of the seconds you offer”, but to send this wallet out as first quality and charge as such I find to be very poor business! On top of it, I had to pay 20€ in French customs VAT tax on an imported product, (though that’s not your fault, just rubs salt into the wound!). I bought this wallet as a gift for my son’s birthday and sad to say, I’m embarrassed to offer it to him. When I showed the wallet to my wife and her dad, who are both French, (I’m American) they just laughed at me and said, “you should have bought a wallet here in France as we have excellent quality leather products”. Great advertising for US made products, eh! Like I said in an earlier e-mail sent to the contact address, all the fun videos and “happy talk” you have on your site go down the drain, when you see what they really are: “just happy talk and false promises”! Signed “A very disappointed customer!”

Great video! how many oz thick is the wicket and craig leather wallet?

One thing about the style of the SBL bags is you can dress them up or down. They pair well in any and all environments. I live in the Bay Area. I wear casual jeans and a suit jacket for one meeting and a three-piece suit for another. I take my SBL bag (classic leather briefcase DCB) in any and all situations, including hiking. The style reminds me of the old rugged western manly men movies (Spaghetti Westerns, think Clint Eastwood) even the doctors used leather bags when they visit the sick. I always thought seeing the attorneys in the courtrooms carrying an all-leather bag was "fancy" and now I do. Perhaps I'm "fancy" now? ;) I'm a huge fan (addict) of SBL. I got the SBL bug years ago, now I buy Love41 bags for wifey. Thanks for the video. I appreciate it. Angel from The Bay

Great Review! I am loving their stuff

So I better buy the 22oz canvas version from cidu ...

Man with upspeak reviewing veg tanned bag.

Oh, and when you get to a point where you want to give it a refresher, down the line that is, I used a very very very small amount of Saphir Renovateur on a Saphir chamois (on a wallet I made with natural glazed harness) and it looks fantastic. I didn't want it to interfere with it much, so I just did tiny light dabs all over a chamois and then worked it into the cloth, then used that to buff it.

Whoa. I just found this while looking for daylight pictures of a few different leathers. This is a fantastic channel concept, because a lot of us want to see clear videos of what a leather looks like both new and down the line in good lighting. The pictures on Rocky Mountain especially are really off. Thank you for this!
