Think of them more as the grouchy skilled craftspeople of the mess bag world: they take a massive amount of pride in making what most consider to be the best messenger bag on the planet.
Also: if you get any kind of design on the flap, even a simple one, do let them know early. My mistake was coming up with a design at the last minute when ordering the bag from Pat.
My bag took about a month and a half to deliver after ordering and the ship date got pushed back twice, if I remember correctly.
Pac is three full time people - Pat, her husband and one seamstress - plus one part time person. They ship about 200 - 300 bags a month. Getting one requires patience.
They said they had some bags in stock on their site, but didn't say what they were. I dropped them a line asking what they had in stock. I'm really not too picky as long as the thing is a lighter color and not pink. It can look like whatever as long as it's comfortable and functional.
