Side Hustle

Just refreshed the website and saw this posted under the Crossbody bags:

https://www.tombihn.com/collections/shoulder-bags/products/side-hustle?variant=42749947445437

Still have to read through the full specs, but I'm very excited. It's the Side Kick that's a bit bigger and has a drop-in pocket that I was wishing for.

Edit: Yup, this is gonna be great. My hopes were high when I saw the teaser email, and I think I'm gonna be really happy with this for EDC with a book/tablet. That open top pocket may as well be classified as a library, what with all the books I'm planning to store there.

I'd love for it to be available in Halcyon 400, but I know it's almost gone.

Thank you for the heads up! I've also been wishing for a bigger version of the Side Kick for the longest time, so this is wonderful! I wonder if it will be a pre-order or a scrum...?

I'm glad to see they scaled the width of the shoulder strap up to 1.5"!

Definitely will help make this a more comfortable carry.

And the back side open top pocket is a great add - I use that pocket all the time on my Co-Pilot.

Antonia it looks like these will be available for sale this Friday, 4/28 (not a pre-order).

I'm wondering if the dimensions listed on the Hustle page are correct. Both it and the Side Kick have height listed as 7.5", but it looks to be slightly taller than the Kick in the group photo.

Chicagoan is right, we'll be putting them up for sale on Friday. We'll have another run in couple of weeks if they sell out, don't worry too much if you miss the first run.

Side Hustle's dimensions are correct, I checked them earlier today.

I think when they are both filled to the brim, the depth ends up pulling some of the height when partially empty on the Side Hustle which is why you're seeing them as different sizes in that photo. That said, as with all soft-sided bags, measurements can vary a little bit depending on the day, who's doing it, the alignment of Mercury, and the mood of Sasquatch, but I wouldn't expect too much of a difference in height between the two when completely full.

And I hope the same colors! I really NEED that Ursa/Moss combo, but I tend to get busy with work and farm chores and kids and then miss out on fast selling things.

Tonya, it's a beautiful combo! Very earthy, natural, and yet quietly lux all at the same time.
I asked for this combo because it reminds me of the woods back home

I know that the email notifications are the best way to get the alert (sign up everyone!), but if it's also possible to share an estimated go live time window for Friday, that would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks!

Looks like a good bag! Alas, it's too big for my iPad Mini, and too small for my iPad Pro, so I'll probably be giving it a pass. (Already got a Side Kick and a Small Cafe Bag for the former, and a Medium Cafe Bag and a CoPilot for the latter.) But I can see how this will be invaluable to a lot of folks with a regular iPad or an iPad Air or 11" iPad Pro, or similar sized device. Enjoy, y'all!

Also, love the continuation of the "Side" names.

Thank you both! And thank you for the reassurance, Matthew!

I like it! I haven't used my Side Kick all that much because it doesn't work for most books, but my LCB can be excessive for shorter trips, so I hope this can fill that role.

Snagged a Black/Northwest Sky SH, and a couple 400 Halcyon ECs. And now comes the waiting.
