Luxury Meets History
“I designed the No. 1 Saddlebag Briefcase in tribute to American History, the U. S. Cavalry and the Old West! Its design, reminiscent of the saddlebags used by the U. S. Cavalry from the 1850s, is contemporary enough for today’s busy executive who likes something different.”
– Colonel Littleton
A definite upgrade in style and luxury…the No. 1 Saddlebag Briefcase is now available in deep, rich Tobacco Brown American Buffalo and trimmed in our Vintage Brown American Steerhide. Colonel also lined the front flap in Calfskin and upgraded the interior dividers to leather which adds to the quality and aesthetics of this premium version of a longtime customer favorite.
Organization and Functionality
Front straps with workable buckles also have snap closures behind the buckles for quick access. Back leather pocket and upgraded interior leather dividers provide organization for your contents with pockets for pen, business cards, phone, etc. Roomy enough for a laptop. Exterior back pocket at 14 ½” (W) x 8 ¾” (H) runs almost to the edges of the bag.
We think of the No. 1 Saddlebag Briefcase as the quintessential Col. Littleton bag. It is the first all-leather bag that Colonel designed for the line and the one he has carried virtually every day since 06/25/2001 when his is dated. There’s no way he would part with it due to the rich patina it has developed over the years.

When it comes to American Buffalo, Colonel says, “Expect a leather that is unapologetically rugged with more character, nicks, scrapes and variations in color.” Learn more about our American Buffalo Leather.
This item is also available in American Steerhide (video above shows this version), American Alligator and American Alligator with American Buffalo.
*Historically, the pommel shield was used on U.S. Cavalry saddles to identify the seat size and, many times, the arsenal that supplied them.

Absolutely stunning! The quality is amazing, could not be more gorgeous if they tried…my everyday bag now…
Beautiful bag, was very impressed with the presentation and you can tell it’s high quality. If you’re on the fence, go ahead and pull the trigger. You won’t regret it.
I purchased the No.1 Saddlebag Briefcase today. The craftsmanship of this piece is “Stellar.” This one of a kind bag is perfect for everyday carry. The customer service I received was great along with the gift I was given at the time of purchase. Great company!
