Like usually on Bike Forums, I need help, again. I've been making bags recently, I've got an idea to make a pocket for a U-Lock, I figured the most typical is the kryptonite but if you have something else let me know about that also. I need the outside measurement of it so I can make a nice snug U-lock pocket. Oh and by the way, I borrowed my U-Lock to a friend and he went abroad, so I can't measure mine.
Thank You !

Oh you guys. Yes, I did check the websites but some said even 4" wide which doesn't really make sense and some did say 5.5" wide and I wasn't sure if that was on the inside or the outside. So I figured I might ask someone here with a RULER and find out, but so far zero replies with such knowledge. Thank You bikeforums.

Make it the same size as a jeans back pocket, a little taller if you want the lock straight bar to sit inside it.
