"my precious" reminds me of a baseball story. Walt Weiss (A's and then
Braves shortstop) used one glove for his entire pro career. He'd try to
break in new ones and always go back. He'd repair it, stitch it, relace
parts, and keep it going. It was called 'the creature'. It literally fell

Red-strength threadlocker solves that problem. I only had the issue
Speaking of bag matching, I have two elusive and wonderful Banana
Bags, beausage but otherwise excellent (no tears, abrasions, holes,
missing bits) and I am interested in trading one for a slightly longer
and bigger mountain wedge.
Now the wedge I have in mind is one I haven't seen for almost 2

Usage definitely trumps looks. As for bag matching, it's at best a forlorn
hope. I have an olive metal-plated SaddleSack Medium that I've used
virtually every day for about a year. It and my Nitto R-15 rack and
saddlebag grip are just unbeatable for convenience and reliability (i.e.
stuff doesn
It's just another opportunity to remind your customers to buy a whole GRIP
of matching Sackville bags at once while they match. A little while back it
was the metal tags had converted to sewn-on labels? Maybe you could promote
one-time bag matching. Call it a bag GRUPPO. Buy any 6 matching S

Many years ago I purchased a Lowsaddle LF that had been made in a
limited run of dark for
The new leather is certainly very nice. I'd say nicer than the original. The
new grey fabric is very nice in itself and I agree that it's nothing to get
hung about. I'm certainly going to be using the new XS SaddleSack with the
other grey bags I have. It's just too much fun to go changing bags and
Kinda ironic that the fabric specifically designed for trucks (which
are presumably longer/wider than 36") only comes in the narrower
width. I like the look of the new leather and new fabric, even though
it won't match my Shopsack L.
Acorn also seems to be varying their shade of beige occasionally
Based on Rene's photos, I'm kind of digging the new less-griddy grey,
temporary as it may be. Reminds me of the look of the Berthoud bags,
which I find (also) beautiful. And the old and new actually seem to
complement each other well, if not quite match. My anal-retentive
side says it'll be fine
The bagmatching blues are inevitable when you're dealing with small
production runs of fabric, leather, finishes...and those are at the
heart of all of our bags. The grey grid fabric is made for truck
tarpalins, and truckers don't care. They're just looking forward to
the weekends. The same fabric
That looks different enough that they should be calling it by another name.
I'm disappointed - I had been waiting for a grid grey XS, but that won't
match my current bag any better than a green one would...

Hm, I like the new leather finish, but not quite sure about the fabric. I've
been psyching myself up for a year to buy a grid-grey Saddlesack Medium when
I get more work...slightly bummed it's changed. Maybe I'll get used to
it
