    update Update: I emailed Custom Hide today and asked about the status of my replacement. I was informed that there had been a delay due to a shipment of defective leather from a supplier, but that my stock Convertible Scholar would be shipped on August 4. I was also offered a full refund...

    Leather conditioner

    I've been applying Montana Pitch Blend Leather Conditioner about twice a year to my Custom Hide Brown Classic Briefcase for the last few years and I've been very pleased. It's a bit of work applying this (it's a thick paste) and one needs to be careful about edges and corners as over-applying...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I'm under the impression that the company is working to recover from two substantial events: The loss of the person responsible for most of their custom work for the past several years and possible problems with staff in their shipping department. They may be very reluctant to make time...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I misspoke. My apologies - I misspoke when I said I wasn't a fan of Saddleback Leather. I do admire Dave's philosophy and his decision to hire his own craftspeople, and I'm impressed with his products. I have a coworker who has one of Dave's briefcases, which I've been able to examine closely...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    I'm not sure what to think right now. I placed an order with Custom Hide for a moderately customized briefcase (a Large Scholar with Pockets with backpack straps and an umbrella pocket) on January 25th and haven't yet received it. When I placed the order I received an emailed receipt with a...
