      Honestly, I really hope the buckle snaps before the stitching. I've lived in NY all my life, and using the train and bus is a way of life…I've seen more than a handful of people dragged when a door closes on a bag. Someone was killed on the subway not that long ago by this method.

      I have a pretty wide array of tactical nylon over here from TADGear and Maxpedition, the IH bags are built just as tough. I can take pics of the attachment points if you want, but I'll just say for now that the attachment points are bartacked with 2" bartacks...twice...

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        I know what you mean, Doug. But bartacks and box stitch can only go so far. You could arc weld a steel plate. If the material around it gives in right at the edge of the stitching what you get is a hole in the material in the shape of the attachment point. So one would have to test the buckle for breakage point, then the material for tear resistance, then the stitching and then the combo.

        My bet is that the textile material will give out before even the plastic buckle unless the plastic buckle is engineered to have a certain breakage point below that of the stitching. On military gear that is certainly possible and makes sense. On IH gear, I just doubt it.

          great bag, really stiff. I got a size M and I was glad I could
          take it with me to the plane (as hand luggage) when I was travelling!

            Giles, are the duffel bags a limited run (like the shirts) or will they always be around (like the jeans).  I would like to get one, but probably not right now.

              They come and go.  I have a few here and there are a few in Japan.  We repeat the run, albeit infrequently, so no desperation on the commit front, if you don't mind a possible wait

                                      Beatle, but you SHOULD pack light to Inazuma ! Why carry a lot of shit ? I don't get it. When I travel, I pack insanely light. I never feel as if I shoulda brought more. Never, ever. The heaviest crap I take are my professional camera equipment (backpack full of DSLR, external flashes, lenses) and laptop.
