    Phew! That was fast y'all-- thank you!! I can't think of a time that a second, larger batch sold faster than the debut batch but there you have it.

    Like last time, we've already got another batch in the works. Fabric is being spread as we speak. Same colors as today's batch, plus adding Constellation back into the mix. For those waiting for Wilderness, we're just between deliveries on that color right now but more is expected soon.

    I mentioned this last time too- we're going to keep making this bag, so if you didn't get one from today's round, there will be plenty of time

      I'm glad I was available earlier to get one, and I did.

        Welcome to the Forums cobaltblue ! I am compelled to ask (as I always do, but you're certainly under no obligation to answer....) what colour!?

          MikeV, it may be smaller quantities you guys stock these days, but you sure are restocking a LOT more often.

          I remember when it took months for bags to be restocked. Months.

          They fact these guys are cranking out new batches WEEKS later is really helping keep traction for the popularity of new items like the Bantam and Side Hustle.
          I own a LOT of Tom Bihn bags, but here are the ones I'm using right now:

              I believe you mean, "the correct color combo"

                Yeah. I feel like this is the best one in the Side Hustle color combos. The second would be the Deep Blue Ballistic/Zest 200 Halcyon. And third is Aubergine Ballistic/Marigold 210 Cerylon. ​

                    TB provided me with the Ursa/Moss for review and it's a great earthy colour combo!
                    I'll end up buying one (once the initial frenzy has died down and everyone has had a chance to get one and inventory levels are stable) and I'm leaning towards Cloud/Zest but enjoying contemplating my options whilst I wait.
                    I have a Burnt Orange/Moab ADX26 (also courtesy of TB for review) and I'm enjoying the tone on tone vibe, so I'm interested to see if they do Constellation/Tidal or Island for instance (or Deep Blue with an interior blue)
                    Decisions, decisions....

                      I really wish they would apply some of the color combinations they used for the Addax bags to the rest of the line!

                      Burnt Orange/Moab and Constellation/Island were both solid.

                        While I'm usually Team Burnt Orange, I already own a BO Side Kick so decided to go with the "reverse" colour combination (Cloud/Zest) this time. It finally arrived yesterday and I'm glad I did. We'll see how the lighter outer colour holds up in practice.

                          I really can’t wait to get one of these! I’m currently in love with Ursa so that’s my plan when they are restocked.
