Another bag, finally happy so will probably be the last for a while

[leaky5]

It is a flap top with ITW G Clips for closure, all other fittings are ITW.

As per my recent bags it has one side mesh pocket, some MOLLE/PALS on the other side, a small zip pocket on the front, a large full length pocket on the rear and slip pocket for laptop inside.

There are also four 25mm rectangle D rings on the bottom. D ring on one strap and HK clip on the other.

The loop patch on the front is open one end and will double as an I.C.E / Medical alert pocket (once I find some suitable tabs).

This is the one I have been working towards, it is just the right size for me and I am really happy with it. Just need to tidy up some loose threads and cut the webbing to length.

That's some quality design and sewing skills right there

That is a very professional looking bag.

[Madriverrob]

That looks really good!
The only possible improvement is for you to make one in canvas, leather and brass

Thanks for all the comments.

Maybe one day John, but I have not yet found the right canvas to try it on. I do have a half finished shoulder bag made up from an old light weight canvas jacket and a brown leather one.
Must get round to finishing it sometime.

Your instincts are right!

Nice of you to trundle over here Owen

Nice looking pack.

There is some real satisfaction in making your own kit and using it, you just keep tweeking bits and making improvements and next thing you know your on MK8.

Sooooooo true
But there is much fun and much satisfaction in getting it ...almost...right so many times.
A true enthusiast of the design pad and sewing table will NEVER be satisfied with the project last completed - the next one will be "The One"


No matter how good the last one was
Enjoy

Very nice! Quality bit of sewing there.
Is there anything to gather the top opening under the flap? Drawcord or such?
