Never stop doing these please. I love seeing the aging process of this bag. Great niche you have. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you for watching and being interested!
I've had my side pocket duffel for 51 months in tobacco brown and still use it whenever I go out if town which is alot. I've used this bag ever since I received it on 7/11/14 and it still looks amazing and I still get compliments on it all the time.
I've had mine for just over 2 years now, and it looks brand new even with daily use. I don't know what I'm doing wrong LOL. Great vid, thanks.
Love the videos! The bag look better every time I see it. It is also nice to see someone who is also using the bags the way they were meant to be used. My bags are loved but used. They only get better looking with use.
When I lived in Mexico, and was going to school. There were this 3 sisters and were some of the rich kids around. Each one used to carry a bag like that one as back packs. I remember looking at those bags and thinking they looked awesome.
Thank you for the update! This is great!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful Classic Briefcase! I can’t wait to see the 50 month update video.
Thanks for watching! I'm overdue for another update!
I have had my front pocket backpack for over 6 years of heavy use and traveling, a tank of a bag, looks amazing
I would love to see it!
I actually like the tone look afterwards. Awesome update.
chairmanwho Thank you. I think it looks much better. I used very generous gobs of leather milk and then did the healing balm on the top from the opening of the back pocket to the front flap. It is still holding the color.
MyFireVideos yeah youre videos helped convonce me to bute the bullet and treat myself. Mine is due for it's conditioning soon. Hope mine still looks as good as yours years from now.
I've had a Saddleback bag for about 5 years... and I use it very often... now I go back and forth between my briefcase and backpack (both Saddleback). I'd say that "some" people stop using their bags... not most... especially if you're on the Facebook group... those people are fanatics!
How heavy are the Saddleback bags compared to a canvas bag?
If you are referring to the canvas bags also by saddleback leather company, all their weights are listed on saddlebackleather.com
I’ve had mine for 5 years still a beast and I travel 320 days year
I have used the new Healing Balm, and also love it. Great review of the bag after 42 months of continuous use! TFS
corikay Thanks! My favorite part of the balm is the smell
Looks a bit like an old Florida manatee lol. Bumps, scrapes, nailed by a boat prop, and keeps on going! Thanks
beauty
Here’s to the next 3.5 years!
I love my saddleback briefcase.. Best leather and quality one can buy.
Very strong saddle leather 3.5 years used Did you produce by yourself it look durable the leather itself and stitching.
Thank you! It's from Saddleback Leather Company
It looks fine for a bag that has been used every day for 420 months; however, for being only 42 months old, it is too aged. The fraying of the edges is the part that has me the most concerned. The scratches and the darkening of the leather are too be expected of any leather goods, but Saddleback should burnish the edges, and it really shows that they do not.
Indiana Jones leather 😎
Nice bag. I once had a nice leather brief case that was heavy but so poorly constructed that the straps broke. I’d consider a saddleback.
Mine is coming up on 10 years and has been great! Also the company will take care of me if I need anything.
Still using it? Update time!
Yes! I am overdue for the 7 year video!
Pink earbuds???
Yeah man. I ran over my blue ones on accident and when I went to replace them with my best buy geek squad protection, they didn't have blue and I didn't want black or white so I got pink. Easy to spot. They have raised a few eyebrows for sure. I'm secure though so it's all good. I like pink.
I wouldn't reccommend waiting 42 months to condition a $500+ leather item. I would apply conditioner biannually or more frequently if I lived in a dry area.
If you look at my older videos you can see the other condition ing sessions. But yes, I need to do it more often.
Looks better after the leather milk application, but the before looks just dirty & worn out. Can never understand that appeal to some.
Gary Bryan I was really happy with the improvement to the look. I'll condition more often now I think. Also I'm now in love with the healing balm. It improved the look more than anything else. Thanks for watching!
The weight on these bags is super problematic. I have a water bag which I use for short flight and it is a nightmare to carry over one shoulder. It looks nice, but it’s not comfortable.
@@rangefinderz5135 keep you NPC thoughts to yourself
They don't finish their leather products, I have yet to see their edges beveled and burnished on anything. Need to do that to stop the edges from fraying and looking like crap and it makes them easier to tear. How much was that new?
You can't burnish chrome tanned leather. If everyone finished them the same way they'd all look the same. SBL has a more rugged look for sure. There are other companies that burnish their veg tanned leather, but obviously the look is completely different - works for some, not for others.
You certainly can burnish chrome tanned leather. Just use the same method as veg leather: Tokonole cream and a wooden hand burnisher. I own two SBL products, a Moleskine notebook cover and a tri-fold wallet, and finished the ragged edges of both. Night and day difference.
It's so heavy, and that's why people stop using them.
I have only stopped buying nylon junk. I will never stop using my leather goods.
Mine is at least 3 times darker than yours and I have only had mine a year. You must not be following the cleaning and conditioning schedule like I am.
Video or it didn't happen;)
@@MyFireVideos don't need video, if you clean and condition your bag every 6 months it darkens just like the numerous photos on Chamberlain's website show.
I was just teasing, I just like to see other people's videos. I need to condition mine more often. My next update video should include conditioning
@@MyFireVideos I've never used the balm on mine, after seeing the results you got I might try it. My bag gets more abuse than most other saddleback users because I ride a motorcycle and it gets wind, road grime, rain, sunlight, and God knows what else thrown at it lol.
@@chelseahenry712 The balm is amazing! And yeah, my bag does some light travel and is used daily but it gets from place to place in a car
I've been abusing Saddleback products for many years now. I still have yet to trash a Saddleback.
This 42 months of use is obviously far from normal wear.
Hi, I'm assuming you mean far from normal on the lighter end of use/wear not heavier use/abuse than normal?
Crazy impractical. I bought two of their bags in the past. Never use them.
George you selling any of them?
