Goodness, such encylopedic knowledge! We need a Tom Bihn wiki of some sort, so we can collect all of it!

A second round of kudos on the slippers. They inspired me to take Tom Bihn up on the offer of a selvage lot. There's a pattern I've been meaning to knit for awhile now and I think this would be an...

Add wind vents (Texas is gusty!) and I'm in.

Yes, vertical pouches would be lovely for the briefcases, like the Cadet. I have a smaller Cadet and the medium pouches fit perfectly when stood on end, but I pretty much have to pull the pouch...

Indeed. I normally avoid buying new plastic items (which includes most synthetic fabrics), but I make an occasional exception for "durable goods" and Bihn bags fall into that category because they're...

Hah, yes, those are exactly what I was thinking of. Saw them first on the Klean Kanteen site. Need to see if I can find the Size .5 locally so I can try them out.

This is a good idea. I've also noticed that if you have several items on keystraps attached to the same O-ring, they tend to get wrapped around each other.

Another option would be little-bitty...

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...

Thanks, everybody, for the kind words! My Cadet arrived last night and it's even more awesome than I realized. The back pocket is also lined in Dyneema, which is a lovely touch, and the zipper is...

That was my first thought, too! They're like the Yarn Stuff Sacks new sibling. All they need is a yarn guide added right at the top of the rigid section (hint, hint, hint).

My thought was a little different, but I think in the same spirit: gardening gloves, small notepad, pen, wallet, iPod Nano, headphones, keys, and a roll of reused plastic bags in the bottom for...

My promotion went through at the beginning of December, so an order for an small Black/Iberian Cadet did as well. ^.^ I'm looking forward to not having all my essentials trapped on my back when the...

Hee, I'm very excited about the Cadet! I had decided that I needed a small bag and wanted something briefcase-style because it's such a pain to work with a bag that won't stand up. (And it will look...

Oh, I should not have looked at that website. I'm just gonna go indulge in an envious sulk and maybe a little rant about how Apple gets all the pretty things. :P You are totally right, though. A...

I'm also in the process of switching to a Namiki Vanishing Point pen. I got tired of having to buy 2-in-a-blister-pack gel pen refills, which rather defeated the point of refillables, but needed...

I don't draw either, mine is for notes and reference pages. I write down *everything* and have mastered the art of popping it open, grabbing the pen (a clicky-type), and jotting down a note. I print...

Along with spamjam and Just, I've had problems with the boards timing out and marking everything read. Also, the icons used to denote read vs unread and hot vs cold are attractive and the hot vs cold...

The key strap idea was brilliant!

I'm currently plotting how best to secure a Nook Color inside my FJN. I saw an ad for a an iPad holder that has grommets on the side for a three ring binder and thought "gosh, I wish I could do...

My Little Swift - which is essentially my purse - spends my commute as the top layer inside my Smart Alec. Once I get to the office, I can easily grab it to take to meetings or lunch.

This is pretty much my set-up, too. At work, I took an extra standard three-hole-punch we had laying about and reset the punches for half-sized paper. My large weekly print-out of lists and forms...

Not a bag review, per se, but the yarn guide is such an important part of the Yarn Stuff Sack for us yarn crafters that I thought it deserved its own review.

I have two Yarn Stuff Sacks, a large...

I only write on the right side and they don't bother me there. The right side only thing isn't specific to the FJN,that's just how I am with three-ring binders. Also, I'm right-handed, just in case...

A quick follow-up on my divider hunt. I finally decided to go with the Daytimer tabs, as I became concerned about the thickness on the plastic ones (I use a lot of dividers). They fit fine in the...

I've had mine for a few months now and I love it. Say, 4.75 stars out of 5. I live out of it and it's classy enough (in black/black at least) for office meetings but sturdy enough for the bus...
