“Buy the best, cry once” - Pasquale
If you've ever bought an article of leather and it went from Ferrari to sorry in 4.3 seconds, you’re safe now. I honestly don't know how any of our pieces can be made better. On the website, I explain each of the points below, in depth.Also, on the website, you can see hundreds of leather pictures the Saddleback family members have sent in from all over the world like the ones in this auction.
Duffel Bag Features/Specifics (click on photos for larger view)
Dimensions: 22"W x 11"H x 12"D End pockets are 2 1/2"D
Weighs approximately 7 lbs.
Imagine picking up a normal cheap vinyl duffel bag and then add a pound or so and you have the weight of this one. It weighs about 7 lbs. In general, the lighter the bag, the sooner it will break and the worse it ages.
Thick double zero continuous filament
Polyester marine grade industrial thread
Stout rivets at all stress points
No breakable parts, e.g. zippers, snaps, buttons etc.
Handle riveted to wide aluminum bar for stiff upper rigidity
There is a wide and very comfortable double riveted reinforced handle with nylon straps embedded into the leather so it won’t stretch or break 10 years from now.
Only three major seams
Hidden nylon reinforcing straps
False bottom
A stiff sheet of pigskin-covered polyurethane protects or hides photos, cash, passports, magazines or important documents from being wrinkled. Chances are, someone is going to try to steal your bag, not just the contents, but at least they won't get the satisfaction of spending the money you stashed. They'll never find it.
Very wide opening (no shadows)
The design of this duffel bag is very open with everything in view on the inside. No overhanging lips around the edge to get in the way like most duffel bags have. When you open the flap, you won’t see any shadows. Boxes, files and folded clothes fit in without bending or forcing through a small opening.
Carry on size
Has tough pigskin lining
You'll find that most trendy pretty boy bags are lined with some sort of cute shiny fabric usually with an antique world map design to make you feel adventurous. Once that tears, say goodbye to your loose change. This bag is lined with solid whole pieces of pigskin. Did you know that they used to make footballs out of pigskin because it’s the second strongest leather in the world? Kangaroo is #1. I like it because it’s durable, lightweight and if your salsa bottle opens up, it wipes up off pigskin easily.
Keep dry design
The flap is wider on top to make certain that no rain comes in through the side.
Fits in overhead compartment of standard airliners
Removable shoulder strap and side belts
Interior Pockets
Three interior pockets run the entire height and length along the back about 3” deep and on each side about 2” deep. You can press the loose pockets out of the way or use them to separate your things. They purposefully do not close.
Side Exterior Pocket
The exterior pockets on each end are closed tightly with a single buckle and are plenty spacious for separating and organizing extras.
Back Exterior Pocket
Another exterior back pocket hugs the length and almost the entire height of the bag for magazines, plane tickets etc.
Here are a few questions. Answer honestly as your first response is usually the most accurate one:
1.Will your grandkids contest the will over your present leather briefcase?
2.If your last bag were empty and someone was trying to steal it, would you fight for it tooth and nail?
3.Have you ever placed your leather satchel so people could admire it?
4.Besides the soon forgotten cash, what will you leave behind that they’ll remember you by?
If you answered yes or no to any of these questions, then you and I both know you need to read on…

Online Reviews
There’s no doubt you’re thinking, “What if these aren’t the greatest leather pieces on Earth like Dave says?”I encourage you to search “Saddleback Leather Review” online to see what others think and read a thousand or two of the comments other eBayers have left as feedback. A couple of straightforward reviews you’ll find, listing both pro’s and con’s, are:
In college, I bought a pair of expensive shoes for my job as a waiter. I couldn't afford them, but I bought them anyhow. They were really light and comfortable and took me through two years of waiting tables and one year as a limo driver. Then, they still looked good for a month of Sundays. Most of the other waiters bought a new pair of $45 heavy and uncomfortable shoes every 6 months because theirs wore out and looked ratty by then. This will be one of the inexpensive bags you'll ever have. Moral of the Story:Buy the best, cry once.
How to Convince your Honey
So you want it, but… now comes the hard part; to convince your honey. Throw some of these phrases out and see what happens.
Her to Him
I feel FRISKY every time I even think about this bag.
I would just feel so SEXY with this bag.
I think this bag would really make me LOOK THINNER.
I don't think I'd ever want to go shopping for another bag after having one like this.
Him to Her
Even looking at this bag makes me want to just HOLD you.
I don't know why, but just the thought of this bag makes me want to TALK with you for hours on end.
Think of all of the extra TIME we'd spend TOGETHER on our long walks holding hands and showing off the bag.
Maybe owning my dream bag would help me OPEN UP to you and SHARE the hopes and dreams I have for us.
Me to Both of You
If you don't buy this bag, then next year, when you're scouring the internet looking for your next soon-to-be garage sale bag, your mind will drift back to my words. You'll slowly shake your head and say, "Man, was that guy right or what". And then you'll press your lips together, squint and give a few small nods. I tell you what, buy it now or kick yourself later.
I've made this duffel bag for you to break in. It'll take a few months or maybe a few years until it really starts to look cool. You'll have to use it a lot. In fact, the more you use it, the better it looks (and it already looks great). It'll eventually soften up and form to the places on your body it touches regularly. The edges will round some and it'll start looking even more chic and classic than it already does.
Sales Tax
Texas buyers please note that those awful mean and evil bureaucrats in your state charge you 8.125% sales tax when you buy one of these bags just because Saddleback Leather Co. is based in Texas. I really don't think it's fair. Actually, I used to sell at times, the bidding would go up to $700. You're getting quite a deal even with tax.
International Shipments
Import duties, taxes and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping and handling charges. These fees come from your own government and are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs might be before bidding/purchase. Each country is different and there is no way we could know what that exact tax charge for you would be. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick up your purchase. Do not confuse them with additional shipping charges. We won’t mark items as a "gift". That’s illegal.
Warranty
We at Saddleback Leather Co. are so confident of what you're about to buy, that our products are fully guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for 100 years. If you or one of your lucky descendants should have a problem, send it back and we'll repair, issue store credit, or replace it for free (be sure to put this warranty in your will).
Saddleback Leather products are made to last a lifetime or two, but they're not bear or bullet or semi truck proof. The warranty covers normal wear and tear and does not cover misuse or abuse.
By the way, the final picture below is of my dog, Blue, jumping into lake Michoacán down in Mexico. Back in my single days, when it was just Blue and me and we were just getting Saddleback started, I traded of of Blue’s stud fee puppies for a hundred tacos. I did that twice (full story with pictures on website) He was a great dog and I miss him a lot.
Now be honest, if you just read the whole description for the second time, you're a goner. Just send me your address now, so I can get your box ready.
Warm Regards from San Antonio, Texas Dave Munson Presidente Saddleback Leather Co.
