How Bright is Iberian??

[Carolina]

I am about to order a black Aeronaut but cannot make up my mind on which interior color to pick. I am thinking about Iberian but am wondering is that too bright and maybe I should play it safe with Steel. Anyone out there have an opinion on Iberian? Thank you.

I love the Iberian interior. It's a rich red; it's bright, but not not clown bright. I too was a bit leery of ordering an Aeronaut with a red interior, but I love it and think it will be much easier to see the bag's contents.

Go for it, I'd say.

I don't have a bag with iberian lining but do have a packing cube shoulder bag, packing cube backpack (Aeronaut) and a few pouches....

It is a classy colour indeed.

What Badger said.

I have a Black/Iberian Co-Pilot. Black/Iberian is a very pretty yet gender neutral combination, if that matters.

On its own, Iberian is a beautiful color. I have numerous other TB items in iberian.

The steel dyneema is also very pretty. Bright colors stand out against it.

You cannot go wrong with either one.

I still wish the ultraviolet becomes a standard lining for TB's black bags. I have a Synapse in black/ultraviolet - it is beautiful!

Daisy, that's a terrific picture!

I decided to be bold and ordered the Aeronaut in Black and Iberian!! Thank you.

Awesome choice. Oh, you WILL love the black/iberian combination! Enjoy your bag!

I second the motion that you will love the Black/Iberian combination. I dithered a bit on it for my Cadet - thinking that it might be too "bold" - but haven't regretted going ahead with it. Iberian is bright enough to make everything in the bag visible without being visually loud (I adore Solar, but it can be a little eye-popping against the darker colors) and the combination with black has a very sophisticated and elegant feel. Hmmm, let's see, think of either (or both!) a red silk tie against a tailored black suit or 40s-movie-star-red lipstick paired with the perfect black dress.

I said: "Oh yeah!" for the last sentence.

Every red, used in Tom Bihn Bags, is sophisticated from the subtle Crimson to the fiery Iberian to the very strong Cardinal.

[clap clap clap!]

That is all.

Got it!! Love it!!! Thanks for the encouragement. Glad I listened!! Can't wait to use it!!!

Just be prepared...every time you use it you try a new packing method and find ways for it to swallow more stuff! It takes a while to develop a packing style/method that works for you. I've had my Black/Iberian Aeronaut about 10 months now and am still adjusting how and what I pack and trying it for new types of trips I didn't originally use it for...like weekends back home to visit family. I've even carried my MacBoom Pro in a Bihn Cache inside my Aeronaut; sandwiched between some soft slacks and my Eagle Creek pack-it folder and carried/stored in the trunk very carefully, of course. Enjoy and safe travels.

Could you tell me what size Pack-it folder you were able to use with the Aeronaut?
