Many thanks to all of you who entered the Saddleback Leather Company Man Bag Giveaway. The response was phenomenal. We received a boat load of entries.  Be sure and check out the contest thread ^[2]; with 735 tips on packing and traveling, it’s a virtual treasure trove of awesome advice.

Of course there can only be one winner and that winner, who was randomly selected from all of the entries, is………Jason Persinger, from a Covington, Virgina. Jason will be selecting the very manly Saddleback Leather briefcase. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jason gets a raise just for bringing this briefcase to work. It’s that freaking awesome.  Congrats Jason!

If you didn’t win the contest, you’re still not walking away empty handed. I’ll be sending a discount code for 12% off at the Saddleback Leather Company Online Store ^[3]. Check for it in your email today. Use that Christmas money you’ll be getting to buy you one of these manly bags.
