Well it's been over 2 years since my original review, how time flies!

I thought I would add my observations over that time period to fully complete my review.

Maverick,

Have you finished the video yet? I would love to see it.

Darcy,

Are you able to post some comparison photos?

Nice colour! Looks like a fantastic bag.

Darcy, would you be able to post a picture of the Western Flyer next to the Tristar at some point?

Regards,
Scott

Fantastic idea.

My experience with UPS and HMRC in England was not good. I have been putting off other purchases until I could get to the USA in person.

That being said, I live in Sweden now...

Hello,

Three things strike me upon reading his review:

1. I get the feeling he is getting too big for his boots.

2. I do not think he has actually used the bag for any period of time. For...

Great, can't wait to see it!

Hi Darcy,

Do you know when we will be able to see a sneak preview of these bags?

So am I so I know what it is like.

I have been using my Western Flyer for a few months now as a work bag and I have nothing further to add to the review above except that one of the zip cord pulls has gone missing (it probably did not...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the response. It is good to see action being taken.

The only issue here is that no one should be put off buying any of the wonderfully made and thoughtful products that Tom...

Hi Darcy,

I hope you are well after your Thanksgiving celebration.

What did your UPS rep have to say when you asked him about the issues raised in this post?

Regards,

Hi Darcy,

Whilst you have your UPS rep there can you ask them why UPS in the UK put the shipping charge down as GBP 50 and not the USD 40 that Tom Bihn pays.

I have questioned this with UPS UK...

Good point beancurd.

I did not realise this at the time and have paid UPS an £11 brokerage fee for each of my purchases.

Darcy should be made aware of this fact as Tom Bihn might be paying...

I have been using the Western Flyer for the last 2 weeks now and thought I would write this review for those considering purchasing this bag.
