This is the second briefcase I've purchased from Custom Hide (the first was a 2-compartment organizer in black). As is the case with the first, the workmanship is extremely good. Though I just received it a week ago, and haven't used it very much, I can tell I'm going to love it as much as my earlier briefcase. I feel confident I'll continue being very happy with this.
Disappointed with the order. The lock was not installed correctly.
I spent a lot of time looking at different leather briefcase makers before I decided on Custom Hide. Using vegetable tanning on full grain leather were my first requirements. But the ability to customize the case to my preferences was what really excited me with Custom Hide. I was surprised that doing this wasn't a big increase in cost, even though I changed the standard size of the pockets, changed where the shoulder strap connects and added rivets on some support pieces. Now that I received the case I'm so happy with the results! The whiskey color is amazing, the quality of work is obvious and I love how well they executed the changes I requested. I'm really looking forward to years of use of this beautiful piece of art! Thanks, Custom Hide!
