Got this 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it.
I had a SBL Large Satchel before that. It was beautifully made but comically overbuilt. I just couldn't warm up to the plethora of D-Rings, multiple layers of leather, and strap that would be better suited to reigning in a Brahma Bull at the rodeo.
The Satchel and Page is made of beautiful vegetable tanned leather (not sure if SBL is vegetable or chrome tanned) but I can tell you that Vegetable tanning is the way to go. The leather is substantial and unlined which I vastly prefer to SBL's pigskin lining; it just isn't needed and only adds weight. All stitching is perfect, beautiful simple handle and copper rivets, and the strap is one layer of leather that's more than beefy enough for anything I'll carry. Finally, I love the simple and elegant styling.
