HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3

Hey mate, that is a truly beautiful case. I love it so much. I'm also a big admirer of the Grandfather collection, I own the carry-on and it's beautiful. Same quality and design style as your case, can't wait to see what Dave comes up with next. Thanks for sharing mate

The un-even cut at the end of the belt is probably why yours was a Dave's Deal.

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

Thanks for your review.

Putting towels in to make it full is a good concept, kind of like a shoe tree in a new pair of leather shoes.

I'm shopping for a new passport wallet for our travels, so this review worked out great for me. Thanks! Based on my last two SBL purchases, I think there might be some tweaking going on at Saddleback in the interest of cost-cutting.. possibly. The 100-year guarantee is still in place, so... 😀

BTW - Will you be doing year two of the SBC? It's been eleven weeks, and I'm still waiting for my year one SBC gear. The year two overnight bag looks pretty nice

Always appreciate your reviews and observations. Thanks!

I bought that in Coffee. Killer purchase. Now, I just need somewhere to go so I can use it.

Wallet update ?

I'd recommend writing out your script or at least bullet points, rather than umming and hmmming and wasting time on video going "what else"

I’m going to college this fall. Do you think this would be a good everyday backpack for carrying a laptop, iPad, chargers, potentially a folder/binder as well? I want something durable but also functional. And if this bag is too small, do you think the normal front backpack would work for me better?

Thanks brother. On my way to purchase one right now!!!

Awesome , thanks.

Thank you, always love to see long time reviews!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, hope the euro trip is great

This will fit next to a 737 seat or airbus seat EASILY so you would be able to use it

Nice bag ... expensive lunch box.

I have to admit this is a strange construction. The crafter attempted to reduce thickness by only deploying pocket slot tops (which is normal.) But then they went and eliminated the benefit by inserting lining in each slot. *shrugs. Additionally they fully lined the billfold with more pigskin, generating more thickness. I like your new wallet much better.

Would be a Top Grain (surface has been shaved to promote uniformity of texture.) Full Grain would have visible bumps, bites, wrinkles and minor scarring. Full Grain is a little stronger, but the quality of Top Grain is still excellent. Lining wallets can be challenging. An artisan is constantly walking the line between cosmetic/ergonomic appeal and product bulk. If a crafter uses fabric to reduce thickness, it never lasts. When a craftsman uses leather lining, the product gets bulky. My preference as an artisan is to wax burnish the flesh side of the inner cover then leather line the reverse card battery. This delivers the quality of a lined product and keeps thickness at a minimal. Natural Veg Tan is always interesting as it reveals patina the fastest. Will likely turn a light amber over time then grow steadily brown. The cosmetics of the edges could be better, but for $100 I'd say you got a good wallet. Cheers! 🍺

Great review!

Gorgeous! I have the Love 41 City Backpack in Tobacco. Fabulous leather! In regards to this backpack, I had always thought that the word thin only designated that the front pocket was thinner than the original. I didn't know that it meant that the entire backpack is a thinner profile.

How much does it weigh when it's empty? I like it, but I am concerned that it may be too heavy for a woman like myself.

I visited the Saturday market today and spoke with him. The dyes he uses on his leather is amazing. I wasn't originally going to buy anything, but came home with a mahogany and black rustler card holder. I may go back for a full size bifold.

Finally a review of one in black, looks gorgeous.

Ohh, nice updated design. I have one of the large ones too but the older style. Hows the new wallet treating you? Cheers

I’ve had mine for almost 10yrs now. It arrived really stiff but broke down over time after consistent use. As a military veteran it is by far the best backpack I’ve owned …keep in mind these bags have a LIFETIME GUARANTEE..so stiffness wears overtime. For me it was about 2-3yrs of consistent use ..

i can't even get my hands on it now sad

Is the bag wide enough to fit a Bose A30 headset you think?

looks great actually

Whilst it looks formal, I've stopped buying black leather goods for the simple reason that unlike brown leather, they don't patinate and age

Nice but do please consider conditioning it, at least annually. Nothing like a tad of beeswax :)

Dude I am so glad I found your video. I'm also an airline pilot and I have been looking for a bag that looks more classy and professional than the normal LW stuff you see everyone using. How are you liking this bag as your flight bag???

Link?

Really nice wallet! Just curious, do you think you’ll end up missing the extra pockets the SBL wallet had. Seems like only 2 pockets on each side would take some getting used to.

Really cool. I think we all feel this way where we fancy a change of wallet after a while, can always go back if we want. I have about 7 "quality" wallets now haha

Beautiful wallet, a tasteful design & material choice

How’s the old Bull belt holding up for you? Been wanting to buy one but was unsure.

Thanks for your review mate. Still debating whether I should get the pilot’s or the barrister’s for my use. I’m using those chunky DCs headsets and the pilot’s might be slightly tiny haha

curious how this closure works in the rain in keeping your stuff dry

Looks awesome! Nice size upgrade

How's the scoliosis though after sitting on that brick? 😂

Nice wallet , hard to get here in Australia we have a comparable bi fold wallet from Fulgrain wallets in Canberra Australia , hand stitched all thick leather no fabric liners , not a 100 year warranty though 😅

epic review

They have deff cheapened the wallet, the older version has leather card slots that go all the way down with the lining, and are thicker then leather they used was way better back in the day as well now they changed there tanneries and it’s cheaper it’s a shame sb used to be one of the best u can buy from specially wallets

Enjoy that amazing bag, thanks for the review! Keep that leather string in the bag for just in case you need to tie a blanket closed or something

Great review it’s a nice wallet but I don’t think it’s a 100 year wallet

How many total cards did you carry?

I am not super picky when it come to my leather goods. I don't go around looking at every stitch to make sure there aren't any out of place. I just figure the bag or wallet is going to get beat up anyways. But, that stamp showing through would be a deal breaker for me. I would send it back and have them replace it.
