    I've been a TB enthusiast for a while now. I own the S25, SNK30, DLBP, pouches, etc. I'm awaiting a set of accessories in Sitka, the anticipation is real. Enjoy!

      I just bought a MCB in Ursa... And all because of another recent purchase - I found a lovely wool duffle coat which is going to be perfect in fall and winter, but it’s burgundy. I’m normally more of a purple person, but the coat is just so lovely, there was no question about not keeping it. But my current EDC, my Aubergine MCB is a no go, the combination doesn’t work at all. But I think the Ursa is going to look awesome with it!

      I was able to order the MCB with $14 international shipping btw. That’s definitely new.

        So excited! Haven't bought a TB bag since my Empire Builder which I like a lot (but don't love). Bought a PCBP in the Island which matches the interior of my A30...so super cute and will be the perfect bag for my vacation. Yes, you heard correctly, we are going to take a vacation! Can't wait to get out of town before winter. Also picked up two masks.

        Aside: don't you think the TB website search should recognize the acronyms we all use? Like, I should be able to type in PCBP and the packing cube backpack comes up...would just be a cool nod to us TB nerds

          I've been looking for a smallish backpack for coffeeshop/around town use, and decided to give the Luminary 15 a try, after Mike confirmed that my MacBook 13 would fit in the laptop/tablet compartment. I went with Nebulous Gray and Island, which is a color pairing I've been eyeing for a while now. It may be a little silly to buy a bag while I'm still working remotely and not really going much of anywhere, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            My Synapse 19 (aubergine; I just love that word and the color! It rolls of the tongue, IMHO!), HLT 1 and small carabiner clips are on the UPS truck for delivery today!! It's been eons since I last bought a TB bag (so long I can't even remember what it was!) except for the clear cube and side effect bag (also in aubergine! ), it's good to be back!!

              Welcome back @93tero,

              What color/fabric combination did you get for your HLT 1? And was your older Aubergine Sidekick in 1050d Ballistic Nylon or the later 525d Ballistic Nylon? As I recall, your clear cube purchases were from the epoch when the Urethene was pliable but non-sticky — my favorite period for this material, since all the Little Swifts introduced then (2010) had pockets that were totally non-sticky, as were the windows on all the Clear Organizer Wallets. If your 3DClear Organizer Cube was made before they introduced the hanging hook at the end of 2010, you definitely have the non-sticky Urethane. See the old Question about the Urethane used thread from mid-2012 for more details.

                Seems to me we're waiting for a new member of the truck family. I dearly love both my pickup trucks and truck and am really curious to see the new addition.

                  We're beginning work on the upcoming Truckasana (the "yoga Truck") and it might be done in time for the holidays The Laptop Truck will likely be offered in early-mid 2021.
                  Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)

                  Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.

                    Perhaps the Insigne as well ? A man can dream...

                      We are also making the Insigne! Two versions: a Guide's Edition and a Design Lab edition. We're expecting the Insigne to debut sometime January/February.

                        Thanks for the reply Darcy! Can't wait to see/hear more as progress moves along!

                          Ooh maybe this will be the bag that finally pulls me over to the Guide’s Edition side of things. I love the retro vibe of both the bag design and the GE color scheme. Sounds like the perfect combo!

                            For the HLT 1, I got the Logic Blue (great color! But I'd love to have a matching Aubergine! ) I think my Sidekick is the heavier of the 2 Ballistic Nylon offerings. And I think you're right - I have the older, non-sticky 3D Clear Organizer Cube but I can't find it ATM to confirm :-(

                              For those interested:

                              I am returning a Black Shadow Guide 23 and it will be sent back tomorrow.

                              For me, it’s too small for weekend travel and too large to be an EDC.

                              If you are interested in this bag, be sure to email Tom Bihn customer service ASAP and they might be kind enough to set the bag aside for you.

                              Some time ago I missed the chance to order a Wilderness Luminary 15 before they sold out. It was because of a forum post like this one I was able to secure a returned bag and get a bag I otherwise wouldn’t have. Hoping this can pay that nice gesture forward.
