Lynn's Hip Pack


This was the first of the new design with the curved flap edges. She wanted something simple so I rocked the wavy lines with white and light blue thread.

Kelli's Owl Bag



This bag was an absolute joy to make. The big owl on the front flap has white thread for texture and big blue reflectors that are bolted onto the bag and glued to secure for eyes. The back has a pair of little owls on it that I designed using fine tip sharpie.

MOTO Gallery Bag

Mark, Ben and Eric are opening up a gallery and scooter shop in
Lakewood, OH and are going to be carrying my bags so I thought I would
make their shop a little tribute and encorporated their logo into the
flap design. Still a long way to go on this one, but I'm really
excited for them and can't wait to see their faces when I drop this
baby off on wednesday.

Matt's Bag is Done

Hot off the machine, Matt's Wind Bag is looking hot. Besides the usual
array of pockets, his bag is the first to include a string of 5x5
pockets along the inside front section of the bag. Perfect for a pair
of tubes, a patch kit, a four pack of Old Raaputin, or whatever other
smallish things you might want to keep from littering the bottom of
your bag, these pockets are just another way to maintain order when
you're on the go!

Matt's Bag

This design has been in my sketchbook for over a year and when I
showed it to Matt he fell in love. Still a lot of work to go but I
think it's looking good so far!

Andi's Bag

Ready to ride again after months of snow, slush, and cold, Andi and
her husband were in need of a bag that would be suitable for both of
them. The plaid is a subtle design that breaks up the monotany of 23+
inches of cordura while not being too gender specific. The powder blue
grosgrain trim is a nice contrast to the burgundy fabric.

Joey's Punk Rock Cleveland Bag


Joey took off to LA last week and asked for a special bag for travel. Its extra big with a nice 1000D cordura liner and a waterproof internal pocket for toiletries. Inspired by George's Cleveland bag, Joey wanted a smaller design with some edge that captured his sentiment for Cleveland. The result is a pretty nice Heart and Crossbones with a city skyline inside the heart.

Pedal Republik of Cleveland Tournament Prize Bag


Last week saw a flurry of activity including bags for Joey, Andi, Kelli and Nick, not to mention the prize bag I provided for the Pedal Republik of Cleveland regional bike polo tournament on the 18th. Posts of the other bags to follow.

Hip Pack for LeBob James

An Ohioan through and through, Bob has spent much of his life in
Colorado and is set to move back in August. This pack is a tribute to
the two states in his life.

New Hip-Pack Options

Yesterday I designed a pack for Karate John that had a fixed strap.
Having never done it before I think it turned out pretty nice. The
wings give the pack a chance to settle to your waist nice and snug and
when combined with salveged seat belt webbing comfort is amazing.
Things need a few tweaks here and there but I plan on offering these
on all hip packs and might try them out on a full sized bag soon.
