Olive showdown: cotton vs Cordura

[Cristina]

Congrats!!

Sadly I cannot comment on Hawaii itself (I hope to visit one day) but based on the excellent advice from GrussGott I had an idea that maybe you should look at an Aeronaut 30 as your bag.

If you will indeed be island-hopping you will want a small and easy-to-carry...

Just a few minutes ago, this lovely creature arrived:



This Original Small Shop Bag (no zipper) in Olive cotton twill joins its cousin, the Small Zip Top Shop Bag in Olive Cordura. Both provided free of charge by TB for review.

Hi Cooner! That issue with @-ing someone and it jumping to the start has vexed me too. I was pleased to find out that if you don’t select the name it will still work. Selecting the name from the list does help if there are a few people with similar names, but it isn’t required for the link to work....

[Cristina]

Kevo that is a very good question and I am curious if others agree. To my eye it is slightly over onto the green side, but I know in at least one of the photos it does look blueish. This is a trick of the camera as Mayura isn’t even close to Logic Blue, it is much much closer to Viridian. Slightly...

[Cristina]

This particular post is less about the return of the Medium Cafe Bag, and more about the new color Mayura.

I have tried in several different lights over several days to find a difference between Mayura and Azure, and I can’t. And I’m one of the ones who sees new Sitka as noticeably...

[Cristina]

Ooh now bartleby I am loving that combination. Sharp indeed!

I’m looking forward to finding out what you think of it as a camera bag once you have it configured like that for a few days.

I already know I want the LGD to have some more pocketing for small items (either internally...

[Cristina]

YES!!!!! In Logic Blue with Tidal/Acuity/Solaris please....

[Cristina]

G42 great post! I really like your way of measuring the bottom and I am going to adopt that. When I measured it I laid a measuring tape on the blue fabric panel of the bottom but that I feel is more of an on-paper measurement than an in-use measurement, if you know what I mean. Your way of sitting it...

[Cristina]

I am out right now with the LGD and I estimate it to be more in the 4” range. I think it could easily expand to 6” if rammed full. I’ll take some measurements and post again when I’m home.

Edited to add: my LGD, not rammed full, is about 4.5” including the actual buckle. There...

[Cristina]

G42 and moriond I see now how my post was totally unclear! I meant literally the attachment on the post because the forum software confounds me. All my photos are photos but one photo is an attachment.
(Edited to add: now I see if I click on that last image it opens a photo carousel? I am even...

[Cristina]

Oh yeah, thanks, I forgot about those cinch straps! I promise I will never ever use them because my bag is always full but I’m sure they will come in handy for someone 😂

One additional thing I didn’t really notice at first: how handy that tip grab handle is! Especially if the bag...

[Cristina]

(Edited to add: I received this bag at no charge. If you’ve read any of my previous reviews, though, you know that I’m quite honest when a bag isn’t for me!)

I am still getting to know this bag and I do not yet know if it will work better for me than my other TB bags. I am also still...

[Cristina]

Huh. It does look darker than other pics of NWSky. Does it look uniformly beige or only in spots? Has it been stored anywhere weird? Do you have any other NWSky to compare? I suppose the easiest thing to do would be to email TB [email protected] and either ask them for advice or ask for a swatch of...

[Cristina]

I am so so curious about the Large Shop Bag in the Olive cotton twill! It looks like a soft cotton even though it must be durable to pass TB’s testing process.
Darcy what can you tell us about how this fabric feels?

May I put a presumptive apology here because I assume this discussion...

[Cristina]

Darcy thanks so much for the additional photos. As someone who takes a very long time to come to a decision, I like it either way. With photos posted as they come, I get information earlier than I would otherwise, but with info and photos all posted together, I get the complete picture right away. You...

[Cristina]

backpack and Kevo all good additions to the LGD comparison list!...

[Cristina]

I am going to guess it probably would. My mini u-lock is about the size of a Side Kick, which is noticeably smaller than the LGD, height and width wise.

moriond Thank you, yes I did see that estimation from Darcy; it’s just a trick of the brain making me still see it as the size of a...

[Cristina]

I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these and see how big it is in person. I can see from the pics that it is quite large for a waist pack, but I thought that about the Side Kick and the LGD is much bigger if it can hold an iPad Pro 11”. I have concerns about the lack of interior pockets (apart...

[Cristina]

Thanks to the TB crew for putting those LGD pics online so much earlier than expected!

edited to add: I tried a different way to add a link and now I can’t remove it. It should work whether you click on the above link or on “LGD” below....

[Cristina]

Surrealle I’m sure if you email [email protected] the TB crew would love to try and solve this for you. Good luck!...
