Experience Col. Littleton Through Their Eyes

1943 Navigator Briefcase
My wife bought me the 1943 Navigator Briefcase in American Buffalo as her anniversary gift to me. It is the most remarkable briefcase I've ever used, and that includes my 31 years in uniform, my days in the private sector as an engineer, and through my ten years with the Department of Energy. Now, the 1943 Navigator Briefcase is my daily briefcase for my teaching at North Carolina State University. I have taken it to my office and my classes throughout the last semester, and it still looks like new! It is rugged, good looking, and it will hold my textbook, notebook, and even a small thermos for my coffee. It is the most practical of the several briefcases I've used over the years, and without a doubt, the very best. Thank you to the craftspeople at Colonel Littleton for making this fine product right here in the USA!

No. 27 Passport Wallet – Vintage Brown
My husband and I were introduced to Colonel Littleton this year when he was gifted a portfolio; the love began! We have ordered throughout the year and each time the products meet and exceed our expectations. Our latest purchase were the passport wallets. My daughter and her boyfriend were ecstatic when they received these (I was so excited, I gave them early)!They are well made, lovely, and the worn beautiful look of the leather made them a hit. I might add, there are not enough words to describe the customer service you receive if you choose to order by phone. They are amazing and make you feel like family by the end of the call! Thank you, Colonel Littleton, Inc.

No. 3 Dresser Caddy
Just received my No. 120 Valet Tray today and wow, it is really nice. I actually bought the No. 3 Dresser caddy as well. Excellent quality and the customer service is second to none. I had both pieces customized and it still only took 3 days from time of order to showing up at my front door via UPS! Don't hesitate to pull the trigger on these products - you get what you pay for and you'll appreciate good quality stuff.

No. 2 Lynnville Panama Hat
I look so great in hats but have never actually owned one that I could wear comfortably after the initial try-on moment. They were either too tight or too hot or lost their shape right away if they happened to actually fit to begin with. So frustrating. This hat has been absolutely perfect! It was a gift from a friend ❤️

Braided Leather Eyeglass Lanyard
I received my two braided leather eyeglass lanyards this morning. I appreciate the extras that came with them. That box contained a lot of goodies! The best things in the box were the quality workmanship and pride in your work! I’ll pass around the cards and the Colonel’s words of wisdom. Thanks!

Visit to Lynnville
My daughter and I visited your shop and the town of Lynnville on Aug. 10, 2024. We enjoyed our visit so much that I plan to bring visiting family members there in the future. We loved your leather shop. The lady who waited on us was super friendly—very gracious and helpful. We missed meeting Col. Littleton and his wife, but hope to in the future. We purchased a few items for Christmas presents, and I know they will be very well received. The ambiance and the smell of fine leather permeated the shop. We had never been to Lynnville but found it a charming place and hope to visit again soon. It’s wonderful to still have USA-made, fine craftsmanship in our country.

No. 120 Leather Valet Tray
Wow! I’m so impressed with the customer service I received from Ms. Judy. I called her up and she helped me pick out a timeless piece of art that will be passed down. Not only did she help me pick it out but she also processed the order and made it very easy. I received it within two days like I was told. Also the gift coaster is cool and they even sent a moon pie for my bed time snack. I’m not easily impressed but they exceeded my expectations by far. My LEATHER VALET TRAY looks amazing beside my bed on my nightstand. It’s holding my everyday valuables that I take as I’m on the go. I’m already eyeing some more purchase items…lol

No. 33 Notebook
The No. 33 Notebook in tobacco brown is very well crafted. I have had compliments whenever I take it out of my bag. I have no complaints on the look or feel of the high quality leather. In terms of functionality small tweaks would have made a big difference. A pen loop in a fold of the notebook instead of one side would reduce the bulge when closed. Maybe an option where we remove the memo pad and use this as a notebook only. Suggestions for improvement but overall definitely worth the money.

No. 1 Zip It Bag
I purchased the No. 1 Zip it. I love the vintage leather. The bag is great for packing my AirPods, charging cables and more when I travel. Great piece to stay organized! I purchased these in store- the design extends beyond the product and into the entire space. Will definitely be back! 🙂

Colonel’s Playing Cards
...It was such a pleasure being in your store and I just had to have the Colonel’s playing cards! They are everything you could expect and more. The quality is superb and I love how they feel in my hands! But I will say that even more special was how I felt in the store and when I opened my bag and saw the gift of a leather coaster as well as the card and stickers. I was blown away! I have never had a shopping experience like that and I have already told over 10 people about your wonderful store and will tell more I’m sure. Now I want to bring my husband on our next trip from Florida. Thank you Colonel for portraying America as it should be and holding the little things important.

No. 1 Saddlebag Briefcase - Vintage Brown
I have been a huge fan of Colonel Littleton products for years and have been looking at the saddlebag briefcase for a LONG time – I finally pulled the trigger and purchased it a couple days ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Everything from the ease of navigating the website for the purchase, the follow up with the customer representative (Tina H), the quick shipping (even the free shipping was received in less than 2 days), the boxing of the bag, and finally the quality of the product itself have been impeccable! I purchased this bag to replace my ‘backpack’ that I have used for years, and as an heirloom item to be passed down to my son. I highly recommend this bag for anyone looking for a great addition to their daily carry of business and personal items – I’m a huge fan and will definitely be back for future purchases!

The Letter That Immediately Caught Colonel's Eye

Our Customers’ Stories

Thank you very much for the repair of the PH47L Phone Holster. I used it every day since the day it arrived. The workmanship! I loved it. I had a lot of compliments, and Inquiries about what i was packing in that fancy Holster. It has served me well for years and I was sad when the securing strap would no longer hold. I reached out to your company and was very impressed with the Ladies I talked to, Ashley and Judy. I sent a picture and they checked if they could repair a discontinued product. I got an email the next day and it was approved for repair. I mailed it in and it was back in a week. Even Hurricane Debbie could not interfere with your service. Thank you so much for your Help and consideration. And at no charge…Oh my, that was a real shocker. In addition the goodie bag had some very nice items that i can use. Thanks again!

Colonel, this was the first time I purchased your leather products. But the moment I opened my package and laid eyes on my new alligator wallet and belt, I knew this was not going to be my last purchase. Superb craftsmanship and quality, the moment I touched my new investments could be appreciated. I will be ordering again very soon. Thank you so much.

This wallet, the no 1 was my very first purchase from Col Littleton. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I just know I like compact simple wallets that fit in my front pocket. I have never owned anything alligator so I thought I would treat myself. I treated myself so well, I haven’t even used it yet. I mean how can I? It’s superb craftsmanship and very durable, yet soft. Will I use it, eventually. I love the look, the feel, it easily accommodates plenty of cards and bills. I think even more than the front pocket wallet, which I am currently using. Order this wallet for yourself, and you will see what I mean by difficult to use. It almost needs a special occasion! Oh, and by the way…if it’s your first time ordering, prepare to be surprised! I have never experienced such high attention to detail…it’s fun!

Made in USA is a strong selling point, but anything made by Colonel Littleton practically sells itself anyways. Even these little key rings are really something made to last a long useful life, and look good too. Ordered one for my wife, and then one for me as well, and we think they’re great, but the coaster gift you added sends it over the top. Thank you.

I was searching for an American made leather handbag as a birthday gift to myself when I found the Colonel Littleton website. After debating between the No. 9 tote and the Wayfarer, I chose the Wayfarer due to its slightly smaller size. It was a better fit for me for an everyday bag. This bag is not only beautiful, but also so well constructed! I am so pleased with my choice, and I am excited to have a bag that will last a long time. Happy birthday to me!

I used a different brand of leather folder for a long time however I just received this as a gift and I LOVE it! It’s the perfect size, the leather is gorgeous and soft to the touch. I’m a Col. Littleton convert and wont look anywhere else for my leather goods going forward.
