I'll take some photos of my wallet and briefcase, with and without flash on. Sorry no natural light and I'm easily the worlds worst photographer. The briefcase is 3.5 years old, while the wallet is 2.5 years old. The wallet has seen a lot more use.
Mods, can you please close this thread. I will get in all kinds of trouble from the Mrs. if I buy a Saddleback bag. And the dark coffee is my favorite color.
Let's be honest... I'm lazy enough that I may or may not ever get around to actually taking and uploading pictures. But I share a love for Saddleback's dark coffee brown. I own two of their products, and though they're cheaper (in price) than their wonderful bags, I still love 'em. One is the simple wallet (don't remember what it's called these days, but it's literally just one piece of leather, folded in half, and stitched up the sides) I've had for a couple years now, and the other is a tow belt that I just got a couple weeks ago (so not much of a patina yet). Both will surely last me forever!
I chose to go the chestnut color, preferring the reddish brown color. My wallet, about 3 years old has darkened a bit and is showing a bit of patina now, but not much, mostly just polishing from oils from my hands and friction of going in and out of my pocket.
