Bailey Works can be moved to either shoulder. The strap adjusts with a simple pull of a front loop, not sure about chrome, maybe it does the same?

One thing i've read about Chrome bags, since you're in school.. if you've got jokester friends, they might be tempted to 'test' that buckle release. I checked out the Chromes in the store and they look to be built pretty much the same as the Bailey Works as far as weatherproofing and materials. I almost got a Chrome myself, but I liked that fact that not as many people have the Bailey works bag, (i see mostly chrome bags in l.a.) plus the big reflective strips were a big selling point for me.
