Know before you buy
Yes, this sleeve is specifically sized to accommodate a 16-inch laptop. However, please note that it is a slim-profile document holder, so it is best suited for thinner laptops rather than bulky gaming rigs.
The butterfly strap is a simple, mechanical closure that avoids the common failure points of zippers or magnets. Because it is made from the same durable full-grain leather as the body, it will maintain its tension and security for years.
As a full-grain leather product, it will develop a unique patina over time, which includes minor scuffs and marks from daily use. These are considered part of the leather's character rather than defects, and they can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.
No, the pigskin lining is chosen for its strength and smooth texture, providing a refined interior without adding unnecessary thickness. It keeps the sleeve slim enough to slide into a larger briefcase or carry comfortably under your arm.
While the full-grain leather offers some natural water resistance, it is not waterproof. We recommend treating the leather with a high-quality conditioner to enhance its protection against the elements.
