Cool! I really want someone to take a high quality photo of their Saddleback on the hood of their Rover, or on the bumper next to the winch or something.
I got a nice all leather saddle briefcase bag from Orvis about 5 years ago now, it almost looks like this guy was commissioned by Orvis to make their bag at the time.

What he did was... he needed a bag when he was living in the mountains in Central Mexico. So he went to one of the little villages in the area and showed the saddle maker a picture of Indiana Jones. He had a few made, sold them on the street in Portland in one day, and decided that he needed some more -- thus, Saddleback Leather Co.
If you've ever been around a saddle, take a look at the saddle flap, that's the same leather he uses for his bags. The bag in this picture retails for over $500.
There is (or at least was) a Saddleback Leather shop in the Borgata shopping area in Scottsdale, AZ. Any relation to your buddie's shop? I've bought a few leather belts and silver buckles there.
I also need a new briefcase....hmmmmm....father's day is coming up....

One of their bags is being featured in a very complementary fashion this evening on Mythbusters.
Yeah. Evidently, Dave's bag was too good -- Hitler survived both attacks.
Now they will have to do a new myth, Saddleback Leather vs. Other Peoples' Bags vs. Hitler.

Bringing the thread back.
Been browsing Dave's site from time to time since this thread was posted and finally ordered a dark brown coffee briefcase (large). Now the wait begins...
P.S. mentioned Dweb on the site as well.

Nice.
Dave and his family are right now spending a month+ in Africa doing missions work with orphans in Rwanda -- and specifically testing new photographic equipment bags along the way.

A buddy of mine has one of their bags and it is freaking sweet! I plan on getting the sleeve for my ipad very soon.

It is a bit of money, but after all, the appearance and the fact that they last a long long time won me over. Might as well just buy someting of good quality once, instead of spending money on mediocre stuff and keep replacing it year after year. Took me a while to make a decision though.
I love the iPad 2 case. I'm going to have to order one. I like the laptop bag and might have to get one of those, too.
