Seriously, I would have walked out the minute that dude started shitting on things he obviously knows little about. Definitely don't go back there and show him a damn thing. Let him stew!

@simon626:
i just want him to know how much he doesn't know. Call me immature but i hate it when stupid people refuse to believe they're wrong. SO frustrating.Slow down there. You have plenty of time in life to try to prove things to stupid people as well as letting stupid people frustrate you. Pick your battles, life is too short for that. Instead, put that time into making that denim messenger bag. Trust me, when you are older you will be much happier that you put your energy into things of this nature. Who knows, maybe one day Simon626 will be a mogul of some messenger bag company? You are young enough to think like this. Cherish it!

LandoCal, I'm very impressed ! And you are so right. Simon-LA…pay close attention to what LandoCal just said. To be young, clueless and broke is a blessing because you have very little at stake, very little to lose.

Simon, you might not need two yards. If the bag is 18 inches wide, 5 deep and 12 high, you need about 42 inches if you do a simple wrap-around design. The sides will fashioned from the side of the cloth. You can even leave one selvedge edge running along one full side of the bag and make a selvedge edge shoulder strap from the other edge.
Think about velcro fasteners for starters. That will be the easiest.

Yeah simon, fuck that guy. Its a battle not worthy of fighting. And especially because u no longer have any business going there anymore. That douche is probably going to make a tote bag with cheap plaid lining and think he's re-invented the wheel. Just let them sink dude. Hate is baggage, don't sink with them. Swim.

This is exactly how IH did it.

I didn't know that. Was just trying to come up with a simple design. For a not very highly finished bag, this is a one hour project. If you want to do something nice it can be a ten hour project. The IH bag has very nice features and looks good. At that price it would be almost not worth it to do it yourself unless you are in for the experience or want a different look or different features. As a first timer the result is not going to be as nice and you will have a hard time sourcing the 21oz material. The material would likely set you back $60 altogether already. Add in an aching back and many mistakes and you are better off with the IH bag.

Well, let's not get carried away. It is not "Exactly" how they did it, but it is a simple wrap-around design! I agree that it may be easier to buy the IH bag, but it will be much more rewarding to try to make your own, learn from mistakes, and theeeen buy the IH bag!

PS. I just copped a pair of virtually brand new W28 Indigo SEXIH03 Cyclist Jeans for $200 ! Yes, I already own a pair but "foldingsocks" was trying to get rid of his a couple weeks ago on SuFu. I PM'd him but he changed his mind about selling them. Now he contacted me again and I said "YESSSSS !" Well, he hasn't officially gotten back to me yet (he may change his mind again – I hope he doesn't). I LOVE THOSE Cyclist Motherfuckers ! He was nice enough to NOT post them on SuFu immediately and instead contact me directly first.

Nice Shubs, glad you got your hands on another pair of your favorites!

LandoCal, I gave foldingsocks my personal yahoo address. I'm ready to PayPal away (as a gift, how you taught me). Now I'm waiting for him to send me an email. If he changes his fucking mind again, I'll be upset !
The Cyclist jeans are a collector's item…and I LOVE them. I love how they look on markmont. He rocks those babies better than anyone.
