the small cafe bag

Hey Maverick: thank you so much for putting this up! gives me a really good idea of what it will hold! I think TB should get you to make videos of all their bags--and you can keep them all! hehehe. You are really good at using bag space really well, and I have learned quite a few tricks from watching how you pack.
Just this past week, I have found myself reaching over and over to my Imago--over my Waterfield Designs Medium sized Cozmo. I have been very surprised to realize that the Imago actually packs more efficiently, and carries more than the Cozmo. That was a real shocker to me. I had a 13inch Macbook (white), a Waterfield design pouch with garmin, mac mouse, adapters of various sorts, a circa compact notebook, a small TB pouch with a change of clothes..and it was kinda hard to squeeze them all into the WF, but fit like magic in the Imago!!!
I just think the Waterfield looks far more professional than the messenger bag style. Sigh. The more I use TB bags the more i realize just how thoughtful they are --even if they "look" like a lot of other bags in the market!

hey shiva,

i think your post sums up very well just how much thought goes into the design of a bag that comes out of the tom bihn factory.

i'm slowly working on getting a video of each tom bihn bag. i wish i could take a week, fly up to seattle, and shoot videos of every bag that tom bihn produces!
