What's next on your Tom Bihn list?

[misterN]

I'm not entirely certain if I'm repeating from a previous thread, but I didn't see anything like it. The idea came from the 2011 Wish List. The first time I saw that thread I thought it would be what people were wishing for next. Obviously I was wrong, as it is an idea thread for new Tom Bihn bags. Anyways....

My next piece* from Tom Bihn is going to be a luggage piece. More than likely an Aeronaut--either Navy, Forest, or Crimson. I wouldn't mind a Tri-Star--however I feel like I would need to get the packing cubes with it, which would increase the price past the point of me comfortably spending. Also, the Tri-Star lends itself for One Bag travel--but I don't think I could ever not be a 1+1 traveller.


*Provided there isn't some sort of neat, limited time thing like the FoJ pouch.


What's on your list?

I am eyeing the Tristar Packing cube backpack in Iberian, the Synapse (likely in Indigo) and I am sorely tempted by the Cafe Bags. I don't need a cafe bag but everyone raves about them so!

@misterN re: you can't do 1-bag travel. You could do a bag within bag setup :-)

As for what I want, can i go with a blanket "everything" and this is before I've even touched my Tom bihn stuff!

There are many items I'd really love, though, but cannot justify: the aeronaut in navy or steel, the synapse in black or steel, the smart alec in black/steel (how about a steel/steel version? ;-)) And a little swift in hemp. Maybe I should be gifting them, since I can't justify them for myself :-)

Don't wait too long to order that Indigo Synapse, as they aren't making any more of those. I'd hate for you to miss out on it, because it's a gorgeous color. And I didn't think I needed a Cafe bag either, but I got a MCB in Crimson/Steel this summer in order to get the free FoJ organizer pouch: and I fell in love with the simple vertical style of the Cafe bag.

Oh, you've got it bad: if you're already saying you want everything and you haven't even gotten that first wonderful box filled with all your new TB goodies.

I couldn't justify the Aeronaut for myself either, though I'd love one in Navy/Iberian. So I did just what you suggested: I ordered one as a Christmas gift for my son, in his favorite color of Forest/Steel.

When I was little, I used to take the Sears Toy Catalogue to bed with me in the countdown to Christmas; now I haunt the TB forum and website instead. I keep changing my mind about what my next TB purchase will be. Because I have an Indigo fixation and it's not being made anymore, part of me thinks I should get an Indigo Co-Pilot while they're still available.

*sigh* They're gone now .

What?! Oh no: see what happens, jeffmac, if you wait too long! What about Indigo Kits, or are they gone as well?

Also gone. Sorry!

[ncb4]

Clearly I'm going to have to find a new favorite color.

What about Navy ?

[misterN]

Also gone. Sorry!

You're a heartbreaker x.x

I feel terrible!

[ncb4]

What about Navy ?

Or maybe Cardinal (going in the opposite direction on the color wheel).

[Katy]

Or maybe Crimson (going in the opposite direction on the color wheel).

They're all beautiful!
