Introducing Navy 1050d ballistic nylon

I hope those combos make it into the regular Ego eventually. Looks great.

Wow! The navy combinations look AMAZING. Must....not......pull.....credit card out.....

sooooo excited about this development. the navy is gorgeous!!

Navy/Iberian. I love the Iberian lining in my Aeronaut. Colorful, but not overbright.

:) If anyone would like a swatch of the Navy Ballistic Nylon feel free to send me an email at: katy@tombihn.com

I only have 10 so when they're gone, they're gone.

They both look great, but I think I might be going for Navy/Solar for my net bag.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

The Super Ego is available for pre-order in Black/Navy/Cayenne. We'll likely make the Ego available for pre-order in that combination in the next 2-3 months.

Not yet! Our Seattle factory just made two batches of Western Flyer, so we won't be making more for a little while. When we do make more Western Flyers, we will make them in Navy for sure.

Oh good! With recent trips where the Tri-Star was bigger than I needed, I've had my eye on a Western Flyer. Having to wait for the Navy will give me time to decide how much I really want one before I'm tempted by its availability.

Katy/Darcy, can you compare some similarities and/or differences between the Navy ballistic nylon and Navy Cordura fabric? I know Tom wrote a thread response comparing ballistic vs. cordura in the past, so I'm not asking about the fabric itself. I have a Synapse in cordura (navy, btw), but am curious on how a Navy ballistic Synapse would compare with a Navy cordura Synapse. Is it only looks, or is it performance as well? Thanks.

I received one of the navy swatch squares, and I have to say that this fabric is amazing. The highs and lows of the color in the weave looks almost holographic. Any of the ballistic fabrics have more shine than the Cordura, but the navy is incredible. I love this fabric.

The Navy looks nice! I hope it's not too late for a swatch (already emailed)!

I love that combo - almost got a Baggallini in it, but the navy was underwhelming.

I really like the suppleness, quality, and overall feel of TB ballistic (versus other companies'). I love Kiwi and don't mind Steel for a more neutral look. I welcome Navy as a replacement for Indigo.
Still looking forward to more future TB ballistic colors (like maybe olive/green, reddish purple, or red-orange/cayenne shades...? :) )


Looking forward to a picture of a Navy Co-Pilot sometime...!

I would love a Synapse or Brain Bag in this fabric.

You know, my black Aeronaut has been on five continents, but I'd really like to get away from black bags. I'd be tempted to buy a Navy one, and give the black one away to my friends.
