McJeep Report post Posted October 26, 2011 So I reverse engineered my favourite pack sack after the original fell apart ;0) Am pretty sure that people smarter than me go get training to learn this type of thing. There are a LOT of details in a bag that I never ever thought of before trying to build one! Lots of head scratching went on during different phases of construction - fairly pleased with it for a prototype and think I'll start producing them after I tweak the templates a bit and add some other features I think would be handy. It's basically a medium sized pack intended for quick jaunts on the bike (when one doesn't want to mess with bungee chords etc) or should be handy for just about anything. Made of oil tanned leather - unlined - side zipper access and smaller zippered pouch on face of the bag. The strap is angled (and length adjustable) so that it's comfortable over one shoulder or across the back for when one is riding. Thanks fer lookin All advice appreciated as always Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rohn Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Very nice looking back pack. I really like it and hope you are able to sell some of them. Will you offer them in just one color? Is there just one strap or two? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McJeep Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Most will be black but I'll likely do some in gurly colours Might do some with reflective material added as a safety feature for bikers as well. Will definitely have to do them in batches to cut the time factor down or I'll only make about $3 / hour! LOL Just the one wide strap - putting it over the head so it's across the back is more stable for use when motorcycling etc - it has an adjustable webbing strap at the other end to accommodate over one shoulder or across the back wear.
