Dave I love your briefcases and bags. Just bought the Barrister as soon as it dropped. I have more briefcases than I can use now, but think Saddleback is the greatest thing I ever discovered--truly.
I'm a litigator and looking for a new leather bag. I was considering Clegg Leatherworks, but very much like your product. They only issue I see is with the bottom of the briefcase. I'd like to see five brass/stainless steel studs on the bottom to protect the leather. One on each corner, and one in the middle. And get rid of the d-rings on the bottom as well. Not necessary.
Having used a Saddleback briefcase for 10 years, I can assure you of this: The leather doesn't need protecting. Cheap leather needs protecting, full grain leather looks better with use, even on the bottom of the bag.
Personally, the d rings are more of a style accessory for me. They work as feet though to protect the bag. I've had a front pocket for.... 6 or 7 years and use it every day. There's no noticeable wear on the bottom of the bag at all.
When my nylon brief bag died a too soon death, I purchased the Square Back backpack to use as my attorney brief case. Think durning a brief case 90 decrees. It works fine even for going to court. I would have liked an exterior pocket on the back though. I like having the ability to carry it like a regular brief case, carry it over my shoulder, or if needing my hands free carrying it on my back like through an airport. (I have bag 001 / 010) I gave a flight bag to my son who is a Navy pilot flying the Navy's version of the Boeing 737. He does like the ability to open it and it stays open. Old time pilots had reams of map booklets. He has an iPad with maps. But he fills the extra space in the bag with his headphones. From the looks of it this Barrister is a whopping sized bag.
I love it, I thought I already had your perfect bag and then you go and out do yourself. Very good video. I'm still working on getting your waterbag. It would be helpful to see a video like this about your water and duffle bags, especially size comparisons. Great job as always. Thanks.
really like the look of this bag. I wish it didnt' have any of the pockets inside. I sell employee benefits and could use a bag like this to carry enrollment folders to give out. Inside pockets for me just get in the way and collect junk. I LOVE my front pocket briefcase and all my other Saddleback stuff, but would love a 2nd bag for meeting materials. Someday...
So disappointed these were sold out for Christmas this year. My son just graduated law school and I was really hoping to give this as a gift. Hopefully they'll be back in stock soon.
You can cut them off after you buy the bag, but give it at least a month before you do, maybe you'll like the design after all. There's nothing quite so annoying as needing to tie something to the outside of a bag and having nothing to tie on to.
Dave...I think the closure strap doesn't have to be like that, no need buckle with several holes...because the mouth is framed, fully load or not, the mouth is still closed like that. Maybe you can change it with quick release enclosure. Only with one hand to open and then waaaaaw...the mouth is open.
Your leather looks like a mix of both Chromium and Vegetable tanned. I have a both your front ID wallet, and your small portfolio. And the leather feels and acts like a mix!
Why’s the audio so choppy?
I just took the Bar exam today for New Jersey. I... may just have to get this.

Dave the way you threw away that tobacco like you just quit smoking and you don’t want to be remembered- legendary
lol the way he tosses the bag LOL hahahaha.....
I wish I could fill the biggest of those bags with hundreds of thousands of dollars every time I've finished arguing a case.

You walk in here and tell someone who's run a successful leather company one of their iconic features are "unnecessary" - lol.
What’s up with the sound muting?
Legal reasons.
1:55 LOL Dave
This is quite simply the perfect bag for me.

On your way to commencement, Dave?

I really want one of your briefcases but without all the D-rings. Let me know if you ever make them without.

Is it even legal for a not a Barrister to have a Barrister’s briefcase? 😁

Big mouth flight bag.....and the little big mouth flight bag
I can't decipher if those bags are chestnut or dark coffee brown.
I'm fairly certain the one on the right is chestnut, and the rest are dark coffee brown

Reading this video description in March 2022...😳
These briefcases are absolutely beautiful. I'm just hesitant to spend over $700 on a bag that is not vegetable tanned.
Honda for bmw prices. Sad thing is I like the Honda (I actually drive one haha), just can’t pay a bmw price for it.
@@jayandrew87wait till you own one. More like Toyota Land Rover for Toyota Land Rover prices.
@@BestOfBixby I do own one but it was purchased used. Would never pay the ridiculous dealer markups. I also own a Toyota.
Such beautiful bags but 700$ it’s pricy alright
Yeah I like the flight bag but cannot buy it new at those prices. Searching for a used one.
I don’t normally bring my office with me when i go to court, so the Flight Bag is “it” for me. Sorry Mr Barrister, you’re not for me. 😀😃😄😁
But you might need a bag just as big when you leave the courtroom in case you walk with a million dollars in cash.
