Nice Chinese or Taiwan made murse, from watching your video you look like something that would carry a man purse. I was on there site and i don't know if i just overlooked it but i don't see anywhere on there site that there bags are made in the U.S.A. ! like i said maybe i overlooked it. But i think the real reason why the VB bag is cheaper is first and for most is a knock of and second its probably made in in another country. "MAN BAG" WTF?

@dvlchris1775 Here's WTF: My number is 603-531-7655 and my address is 338 Kenney Ave, Pitcairn, PA 15140. Send me or bring over a Saddleback bag, since you can afford to call me a "something," I figure you could afford sending me a real "MAN BAG," sorry, a murse or whatever you call the thing I want to force you to cut up and eat for dehumanizing me. But hey I just got a $1900 Supertub 200 hot tub for Christmas, so I'm just going to relax. Call me. Come take a dip. You're very welcome.

garbage.



[TimmyDFrost]

@CanadianSnicker "Garbage?" "Ass clown?" How does hater, snob, brand prostitute/zombie sound as a retort. Innovation, intellectual property, design? We're not building a rocket to Mars here: cowhide, stitching (sorry, but neither bags are kevlar), and buckles - shouldn't cost half-a-G to put those things together to make a bag right. If you're looking for innovation, VT innovated on price point without compromising quality (by quality, I mean it kicks butt, not that you'll see it in Milan.)

[redazi1]

nice you re right why pay for a name instead as beatiful sheap and high quality bag will make more happy

[TimmyDFrost]

@redazi1 Pay for a name only if you routinely go to swanky cocktail parties.

[APretender]

Yeah. They're just like twins. Saddleback is Arnold and Vagabond is Danny.

I am an owner of the Saddleback Large Classic Briefcase. For starters the pigskin lining allows me to clean the inside easily after travel mishaps. When you held up the other bag it looked all weak and flimsy. My saddle back stands out strong. I agree that your back looks raw and rough, but then I am a professional and really like the perfect stitching, the total quality look and of course the compliments. You only get what you pay for. Premium Quality always cost a little more. It's worth it!

[jtwarshak]

You are just wrong. Your bag is all loose and lumpy. I dont know what your problem is, but you are just wrong. It costs less for a reason. Pigskin is tough and its not a man bag.

[findmystapler]

Dude. You wasted $150 (or however much you paid for it). You could've gotten the real deal on used on Ebay instead of some ChiCom knock off.

To all the haters, relax. I personally ended up getting the large briefcase from Saddleback (Though the cost, wow ..) but this review made me REALLY consider Vagabond. I see nothing wrong with Vagabond. If you want the look of Saddleback, for half the price, go for it. I think from reviews it's obvious Saddleback has a better build quality, but if Vagabond can last a good 5 years, and it looks like it'll last at least that long, it's money well spent.

Man-bag? :/

[meh3884]

Someone may have mentioned, but Saddleback bags are made in Mexico. Not the US.

[sevenboarder]

Thanks for the review bro!

[glenninmd]

Yeah, I am glad I saw this vid when I did. Almost bought a Saddleback today, but it's good to see an alternative I hadn't known about - further food for thought.  Years ago I bought a relatively small Hartmann briefcase off Ebay. It's beautiful and rock-solid, but so heavy I stopped taking it to work. It's in my closet gathering dust.

leather bag trolls.. what next

[falahtheblindog]

hey man, thanks for sharing this. nice review.

[deanwhitehead]

Wow, some really mean comments here. Why? I appreciate that you share this information, Timothy, since it adds to people making more informed decisions and comparisons. If made in USA from US hides is important to you, add it to your list. In the meantime, how 'bout trying to remain civil. Thanks for your video, Tim.
