      The all olive imago is on my wish list. Never ever seen one online though. Just one in person at a bar.

        Is there any chance that the Smart Alec may be brought back? (any news?)

          They did an encore production run pre-order in spring 2022.

          Haven't heard about any future run, but you can always contact TB and see what they say.

          At the very least, besides your request here, you can also sign up on the item page to be alerted if there are any future updates; TB uses all these means to gauge interest over time.

          They show up on the resale market as well... There are a couple on eBay right now actually.

          I have two of them, they're useful packs.

          The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.

              No, actually the Imago is still too big, it is either the same size or larger volume than the Maker's Bag depending on which Imago measurements you read. I want something smaller but not too small, so around 8-10 liters, just about the size of a horizontal Medium Cafe Bag (and slightly larger and more organizational and "huggier" than the Side Hustle, which I'm working on making work but it's still not quite what I'm looking for.)

                Maybe a smaller Parental Unit/hobo type bag

                ETA, and I forget, have you tried the DLBC? Probably not deep enough front to back for a camera insert...

                  Yes, I've tried both the Parental Unit and the DLBC, neither are suited to what I need for a "smallish" camera bag. The Maker's Bag is great for a "big" camera bag, and a scaled down version would be the ideal for days when I don't need to pack the whole kit and want a cross-body/messenger style bag. I use a Paradigm backpack with insert for my scaled-down kit in a backpack, and the size is just perfect so getting that size in a horizontal messenger style is what I'm looking for.

                  Currently I'm using a Timbuk2 XS Messenger for the scaled-down kit, and it works but it's not as well organized as a smaller Maker's Bag would be.
