Thinking about getting one of the briefcases and was wondering what everyones input is over the pigskin vs suede interior lining.

So Im guessing the suede lined would break in easier?

Suede is plush and retro, but pigskin is so much tougher! I love my pigskin lining on my messenger, and although I love suede, I would never get that a the lining on a bag that will last the rest of my life.

I have pigskin lining inside of my large briefcase. I am very happy with it. It looks great. It is easy to keep clean. I just don't worry about it.
The only reason that I would consider the suede lining is if I kept my iPad unprotected/uncovered in it. I feel that the suede lining may be easier on it with the natural friction of daily carry. It would just be for peace of mind. Thankfully, I have a Saddleback Leather iPad 2 case.

Actually the SBL iPad cases themselves are lined with pigskin so I don't think that is an issue.
My opinion is that suede might be a little nicer in the short run because the bags may break in a little sooner. However, once a pigskin lined bag breaks in it is just as soft as suede yet still has the advantage of wiping spills easily over suede.
In my opinion pigskin is a better choice in the long run, you just have to be a little more patient for the bag to soften up a bit. I have an older two-rivet front flap briefcase piggy lined and it is very soft.
