New: Aeronaut and Western Flyer Optional Waist Straps
Our Aeronaut and Western Flyer carry-on travel bags can now be ordered with an optional webbing waist strap. It’s a straight-forward, non-padded waist strap that some will find useful. For those of you who already own Aeronauts or Western Flyers and would like to add a waist strap: we’re preparing a waist strap retrofit kit ($10) that will be available for pre-order on Friday, May 1st.

Unclutterer: The perfect laptop bag for business travel
Excerpt:
“The day after this post ran, I got an e-mail from a lovely woman at Tom Bihn bags explaining that the reason I hadn’t found the perfect laptop bag was because I hadn’t tried her company’s top-of-the-line product. Fair enough, I hadn’t tried the exact bag [The Checkpoint Flyer] she was referencing in her e-mail. I told her I would take it out with me on a few trips and see how it handled. My expectations were low; I’d been let down so many times in the past that I assumed I would be let down again.
I’m not one to eagerly admit when I’m wrong, but I was. This bag is amazing. It meets my qualifications for a perfect laptop bag for business travel — and more. I’ve since taken it out four times (three of those involved air travel), and feel comfortable singing its praises.”

Pictures of the Seattle Factory: Cordura Fabric Strips
We try to use our scrap material in creative ways – we don’t want to waste anything if we can help it. In the above picture, you see a sight common in our Seattle factory – colorful, long strips of 1000 and 500 denier Cordura fabric. We use them in a bunch of different ways, but mainly for bundling parts.
Introducing the Side Effect
The Side Effect can be used three different ways: as a shoulder bag (included is a shoulder strap that fits neatly inside of the bag when not in use), a waist pack (the waist strap tucks away when not in use), or as an organizer bag for toiletries, computer cables, or other small items.
Available for pre-order, ships by earl June. $30. Available in colors Black, Steel, Plum, Sapphire, and Olive.
