Members Tugadude Posted March 13, 2017 Members Report Posted March 13, 2017 Beautiful color, nice execution and I'm sure your brother will love it. One thing I wonder about though is the pockets on the back. Usually, the backside, the side that will rub up against your body, is flat, for comfort. Maybe a magazine pocket, but largely flat. If your brother only uses that carry handle, no issue. Something to think about. Quote

He liked and had been carrying for at least 25 years. He wanted something similar so this is what I came up with but the clean back side does make sense. He doesn't use it all the time and didn't even want a shoulder strap because he said it would just get in the way. I did put loops on in case he changes his mind later though. Quote

Members Tugadude Posted March 30, 2017 Members Report Posted March 30, 2017 If it will be carried primarily by the handles it will be fine. It just jumped out at me so I asked. I made two for myself that I carry Monday thru Friday and to me, pockets would be an issue. But only because I always use a shoulder strap. It is a great piece! Looking forward to more examples of your work. Quote

It was a close copy of an old one he had and liked so that is why I designed it that way. He probably doesn't use it but once or twice a month so at his request I didn't even make a shoulder strap for it. The pockets on the old one were on the back and he likes it so that's what he got. No other reason. 13 hours ago, Tugadude said: If it will be carried primarily by the handles it will be fine. It just jumped out at me so I asked.

Looking forward to more examples of your work. Thanks. Hopefully I will have more examples soon. I appreciate the critique though. It gives me something to think about on the next one.
