    The best of the cross body bags.

    I've carried Tom's bags since he was a one man operation in Santa Cruz. The Icon is/was the best design of all for an everyday messenger. It's a shame that it's no longer in production. What a waste of a very original and innovative bag.

    EDC perfection

    I love this bag. It holds everything I need for everyday use, including 2 magazines and my little Glock 43. When it comes out of retirement, I’m getting it in 2 more colors.

    Enjoying the Icon

    The Icon is a TB bag that expands to hold more than you’d think, but doesn’t look bulky or boxy. It has just the right amount of pockets and internal organization. The colorful and curved zippers make getting into the bag a breeze, and the color combinations always make me smile. It’s a happy, medium-sized carry. I do wish the strap was a bit softer like the other TB straps, but that isn’t a dealbreaker, just something to note. I really enjoy using this bag.

    Great EDC

    I own a quite a few Tom Bihn bags, but this is the one I use the most, hands down. Elegant and carries a lot without looking bulky, and the zipper means things stay put. It breaks my heart that it has been retired.

    Perfect.

    I was looking for a mid-size EDC bag for running errands and (someday) travel. To my mind this is a perfect purse. Enough pockets and interior compartments to be organized, zippers to keep everything contained, and a lovely aesthetic with all the curved seams.

    The all-black looks sharp (love the dark logo) and the build quality is superb as usual. Everything about it is thoughtful and carefully done. Even when packed out, it sits close to the body and is comfortable to carry. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for an everyday bag.
