I need a classic saddlebag-not a stylish ladies purse?

Looking for a vintage type (new) canvas style saddlebag and handlebar bag combo. It sems like everything has gone to black fabric as in the Carradice models, with some green also? And the Velo Orange bags are now darker.

I know the Acorn bags fit the description but ordering and waiting seems very long? Lastly I'm aware of the Nigel Smythe bags but I'm not into the tweed look either.

Who makes a classic tan colored bag that isn't dressed up like a lady's purse or Louis Vitton luggage?

There's the Brooks Barbican Messenger Bag... leather and very masculine. The downside is its quite expensive!

It's waxed canvas, and it's outrageously expensive.

Yeah, I like their Brick lane roll up canvas panniers too, but not $250.00 worth

Look at Rivendell's site; everything from the $3 Burrito Wrap under-saddle carrier to the $185 Nigel Smythe bag.

I don't get the Riv burrito, It would be easy to make that yourself right? Or am I missing something?

My favorite one is George's take on the line for Woody Allen's movie

"These Pretzels.....ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY"

I identify most with George, whats that saying about me??? Sorry back to the topic...
