, though I hardly ever notice the bag unless I'm carrying something over 20~ lbs.
I don't think this right. At least not unless you can go into one of their "custom" locations.

The Metropolis ( the largest MBag ) is sold as a "right-handed" bag which of course means it carries over the left shoulder (?!) and for those of us that would be ordering custom from the website - that bag is not part of the custom program.

The good news is that both Mission Workshop and Timbuk2 make bags that can switch right to left and I use the T2 bag when I use the messenger bag as it is a bit smaller than the Metropolis.

I wanted to like the Chrome bag, but the shoulder choice killed it for me and I really do like the T2. If i get another big messenger I will just buy the Mission Workshop one.
