Early on, RBW carried Carradice. I'm getting ready to ride or I'd dig through the old catalogs. I think beth has one of the older Carradice-sewn RBW bags which was closer to Carradice in spirit. When the initial Baggins bags came out, there was very little like them - nothing I can think of that was sewn domestically. When I first got them, I had a few folks ask if my Banana Bag or Hobo Bag were Filson. My guess is that GP _thinks_ about bags the same way he thinks about bikes. As a confirmed bag-geek, I really enjoy the designs. - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Three T-shirts Now Available: "I've Got Downtube Shifters..."
