I found saddleback leather through sigforum a very long time ago, I am brand loyal at this point.

My baby beast and backpack have been many places with me. The flightbag is a daily work companion.

I recently became are of this company that does “upgrades” to the bags. Man o werro?

I’d seen photos of these but never really understood it. Now I am curious if anyone here has ever gone this route?

If you are interested in really quality stuff SBL is top notch, I highly recommend it over just about anything else. The baby beast always gets a compliment from TSA etc.

I've never used him, but he always gets great kudos on the SBL Fakebook pages, people love his work. I'm not a fan of changing appearances of original equipment so there's my 2-cents.

I’ve never used him but he’s well respected. I don’t see the need to upgrade anything I’ve gotten from saddleback.

I agree…my Saddleback stuff is already perfect. And I love it. My daily bag is a flight bag that I use to carry my work computer and things to and fro.

I only have his wallets. I love them. One of them the stitching was coming loose and I called. He had me send a picture and sent a replacement and told me to keep the “bad” one. It truly was coming undone, looked not right, and they aren’t cheap which is why I wanted it replaced. Not trying to steal one. I took a tiny pair of scissors trimmed it up, oiled it up with their leather milk, and started using it. I figured it would eventually unravel that edge. That sucker still hasn’t moved beyond the stitch or two that were initially undone. I would buy again.
