Gentei's got them for about $130 I think in the Large - I got mine for a steal because it was a sample and the faux suede was a lil faded... They're getting more in soon, as well as the backpack.

The beauty of messenger bags is the inherent simplicity in their form. The more complex you get, the more uncomfortable they are... I prefer backpacks and Dave's Quality Meat makes a really nice waterproof one for $60 or so. The Sag bags are great and I couldn't pass up the price.

Dang... the L slings are about $80-85 in Japan. Those backpacks look pretty cool though.

I sent my seagull bag to Dan and he accommodated my request to "pimp" my bag out and so he did

I had recieved my segull bag awhile ago with a custom logo
here it is boxed to be shipped


this is the bag size for reference (size xl)and its taken before it had the custom logo on it

^^^^ That is awesome....

Yeah, but shipping's a *****!

Also, $130 is a steal for Japanese "cut and sew" - haha

That skull is dope, I thought about getting the skull from the skull and bones society on a bag.

can someone explain to me what a floating liner is?

does this mean that the waterproof liner is basically a second bag inside the outer bag, and the seams aren't sewn together? just joined at the bag's opening?

what are the pro's/cons of this idea?

i'm about to get sewing... cordura in the post.


thanks.

that is a great bag. it looks like you and your dog could fit in that

That's exactly right. It means your side and corner seams don't have stitching going all the way from the exterior to the interior of the bag, making it more difficult for moisture to wick into the bag.

Edit: Also -- hey Dan -- *NICE* work on the skull!

I wish I had that kind of skill and wasn't so much of a manufacturer type guy

What about the xl chrome rolltops? Does anyone here own one?
I'd really like to see some more pics and reviews of it. The few pics on chrome site dont show much.

For those that do a floating liner, do you just stitch the inner bag to the other bag along the top seam and then put the binding around it or do you just put the binding on at the same time as you joint the two bags? Is there anything else used to support the inner bag or is it just the seam along the top of the opening? Also, what do you usually use for inside dividers and pockets? Do you guys just use cordura or do you use something lighter? I would love to make a bag and am interested in some of the details. Thanks.

dude just triple fold the edge and stitch it all the way around or if you are lazy use binding or strap webbing to make the seam look purdy
yes cordura all the way it is best to attach the pocket and dividers befor eyou get the two bucket shapes built if you know what I mean
