Brilliant review. So glad I found you! I was corporate and have been mainline for 18 months. I can fly or drive to work as a commuter - Did you stick with barrister or go back to flight bag? Is flight too small for you? Want to put my DC OneX headset inside WITHOUT a case. Think it’d work?

Hey, does pigskin leather develop a patina or is it just dirt?

Hello. My wallet did and is still developing patina on the pigskin, but only on the inside were it holds the bills. The other side seems to be just gathering dirt!

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

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... 😀

@Reviews-For-You. 7 ай бұрын
Hi! Thanks for your kind words in your first comment. I don't think I will be reviewing the year 2 Club leather. I buy all the leather for my own needs, and I just enjoy reviewing it. But there is nothing in the year 2 bundle that I need. I think the duffel from year 1 was incredible, and the overnight bag from Year 2 isn't quite as impressive, in my opinion. The smaller dry bag is pretty cool, but that alone doesn't justify buying the entire thing, unfortunately. I may end up with a grandfather's overnight case soon though!

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?

@pepleatherlab3872 10 ай бұрын
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.
@pepleatherlab3872 10 ай бұрын
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! 🍺

@Reviews-For-You. 10 ай бұрын
I think I prefer the older style, which is probably apparent by the way I talk about these designs in the video lol The new wallet is great - the outside is starting to patina and darken, and you can tell because the inside remains a brighter color. Looking forward to doing a review in a few months when its darkened even further. So far its holding up perfectly, structurally speaking, as well.

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 actually just sold it. If you recall, I had a Dave's Deals version and the separating of the fibers on the back bothered me. But the primary reason for the sale was because I make my own belts now and want to wear those instead, so no use keeping my SBL belts. I would still definitely recommend the Old Bull belt though, it is the thickest piece of leather I have ever seen.

The Barristers is much, much bigger. I fly out tomorrow so I will see how this goes, hanging off my Luggageworks roller. It would easily fit your DCs but for me its more a question of, how big is too big when its hanging off the back of the roller and has to sit under the seat in front of me while commuting? If it had this width with the 2-inch shorter size of the flight bag, I think that would be the sweet spot!
