The No.970 CO Executive Briefcase is a full size briefcase wide enough for executive legal files/folders, at 17" wide. The original No.970 was a custom project made for a Naval CO (Commanding Officer) in Coronado, CA. A bold and highly functional briefcase that is meticulously handcrafted in our San Diego factory, the No.970 is an heirloom quality piece that is American designed, tanned and built.

A true executive sized briefcase built with meticulous details, function and durability. The interior is split with suede leather lining under the flap and the back laptop sleeve and our signature 7oz. plaid in the front pockets. Wide enough to fit legal files and up to a 17" laptop, the No.970 is our largest briefcase by width and height, but with a slimmer profile. Use the removable leather shoulder strap or the top carry handle that is leather wrapped and riveted down to a steel bar for maximum durability and longevity. We use a sturdy and smooth Horween® latigo leather for the base and side panels to give extra structure. The entire flap and body is bound with the same Horween® latigo, we use premium solid-brass Italian made hardware, hand stain the edges and set the brass rivets by hand, all in our San Diego leather factory. Other features include inside leather utility pockets, a 6" brass zipper and a brass swivel on a leather lanyard.
The No.970 is made in micro-batch quantities of less than (20) pieces and marked with a unique 9-digit serial number.

Cut From The Trimmed Shoulders Of The "Shrunken Grain" Bison
This version is crafted from our signature "shrunken grain" American Bison leather (Tanned in Milwaukee, WI) and trimmed with Horween® latigo (Tanned in Chicago, IL). We selected and trimmed the bison hides using the "trimmed shoulder" section that has the largest natural grain pattern, using this for the flap and front face. Read more about the leathers below.
