Hey there. this is Dave from Saddleback Leather. I designed that bag of yours. I absolutely loved your update video. I love how you said you have had 5 kids while you've owned it. So cool. This bag they will truly fight over it when you're dead. Next time you're in the Azle, Texas area, please stop into the shop
Thanks for the 10 yr update. I bought SBL Classic in early 2000s on ebay. I think its one of the first handful produced. From memory there was one option medium size chestnut 2 rivets no key fob no branding. I waited over a month for delivery. I remember a picture in the ad of a kid with a worn out bag holding an AK. I still have it and like you said it is a tank.
Great video!! I just checked and I’ve had my SBL large classic briefcase in tobacco for 11 years this year!! I got the chance to meet Dave & Suzette in Leon Mexico a few years back ~ they are GREAT people!
@ ~ Mine doesn’t have anywhere near the use yours has …. Your videos are great. I’m considering using it as a carry-on / weekend bag with some compression cubes. Have you ever tried that?
Thanks for doing all the videos all these years. I’ve watched every one. I bought a Thin Briefcase around 8 years ago I think. Been using it everyday since. Also have bought dozens of other SBL stuff but the briefcase is special.
I bought one in 2006 and sat behind my truck seat do do quotes but I pretty much just did cost + work for one builder for almost two decades it never seen the light of day so in in near new condition.
I have had the exact same model of bag since around 2008, carried it around most days and it is still like new. Once or twice a year I put some beeswax or leather on it. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Like the ugly baby comment. Lol we just had our 7th and I always tell my wife all babies are ugly when born no matter what lol she always says ours are so cute and I say. No way… look like little aliens

I hope I can make it there one day. Thanks for the bag! I hope your family is well.

Thanks for watching! I'd love to see your bag, I bet it looks awesome

Hey! You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and thanks for letting me know. How is the thin briefcase aging?
Love the look of an aged TB bag. The large is just too big for me. Looking for a nice medium TB with suede interior but they are hard to find.
Good luck on the search. The large has been a great size for me over the years! Very versatile.
Fantastic, it is beautiful. Thanks for the update!
You're welcome! Thanks for being here

Beeswax eh? I'd be curious to see how that goes. I use leather milk
That bags literally a family heirloom now

Omg I’ve been waited for this! And I’m happy to say I’m the first one here😂
Have you had any problems with the threads? Because I only had my classic briefcase for 3month and the thread’s are kinda fraying everywhere 😢
None at all. I'd talk to SBL if I were you
I did sadly they basically just said it still works so can’t do much about it 😢
@kevinlee5968 ah bummer
I did order a hard side briefcase and a prototype chestnut backpack from the garage sale ordered it a month ago sadly still stuck in customs😢
@kevinlee5968 that will be nice
second
