ISO Leather Padfolio

Post by r.palace » Mon Jun 08, 2020 10:27 am

Regret missing out on the Saddleback portfolio Wu posted a while back

Don’t really want to spend Saddleback prices but open to suggestions

Needs to be the same layout as the pic posted

Good quality leather would be preferred over anything vinyl (like my current set up)

Was looking over some older threads and picked up a Topos commuter to replace my current briefcase. I know some dudes here are serious about their man bags and leather accessories so let me know!

I like go forth goods. Really nice small company, great leather. I have their Grant backpack and it’s solid.

They might even have a sale going right now

I’m really enjoying the one I got from Matt.

Update:

Got the Topo in yesterday. Great quality for the price point. Feels solid but also went ahead and ordered a Briggs & Riley @Work brief to compare.

I’m confused a bit on B&R, however. Are they made in the USA? Some of their stuff? None of their stuff? The interwebz says they are but I’m not sure. Their lifetime warranty is definitely appealing.

Interested to know if you guys have a solid answer

Update update: so I contacted Briggs to ask about their “Made In” status and this was their reply -


“Thank you for contacting Briggs & Riley. Our product is primarily manufactured in Cambodia Vietnam, and China, with our Operations team overseeing all aspects of production and quality control. From there, our bags are shipped back to the United States for final approval and distribution. “

Kinda bummed out they’re not American made. Oh well..

Only company I can think of is Col. Littleton style wise. It’s not cheap either, but it is US made and we’ll executed.
