A consul travels for a living, and the bag that goes with him has to survive the trip as much as the meeting at the other end. The Consul is built for exactly that — the heaviest men's leather briefcase in our lineup, cut from top thick full-grain hide with two front pockets and a rear zip pocket sized for a tablet, on top of the main laptop compartment. Wear it crossbody with the detachable strap, or carry it by the handle through the terminal. Hand-stitched with tough nylon thread, vintage in build. Two colors.

Full-Grain Leather vs. Other "Leather" Bags
| Saddlebelt Full-Grain | Other "Leather" Bags | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | ✓ Full-grain leather throughout | Bonded or split leather scraps |
| Patina Over Time | ✓ Develops a rich patina with handling | Coating cracks or peels instead |
| Hardware | ✓ Solid brass, screwed and riveted in place | Plated metal that flakes with wear |
| Price | ✓ Costs less over time than replacing a cheap bag every year | Cheap up front, but you'll buy it again and again |
Care Instructions
- Wipe down with a dry cloth every so often to keep dust and surface oils from building up.
- Condition every few months with a small amount of natural leather balm, then buff off the excess.
- If it gets wet, let it air-dry away from direct heat.
- Some darkening and softening with use is normal — that's the leather breaking in.
