IH-TL1 - Thrux Lawrence/Ironheart Ultra Stubborn Back Pack

[seanocono]

I've been to TL's shop in CDA a couple times. It's a cool space, and they take quality very seriously. Great people, too.

Congrats on another awesome collab. I'm excited for both sides.

It's a cool bag, but you really need to offer the hairy version.

^ Hell yeah. Or IH 21oz denim.

Something worth pointing out is that the IH-TL1 is a great size for a carry-on here in Australia, and some budget European flights.

These airlines use the 105 cm bag size for domestic flights, which is a 48 cm x 34 cm x 23 cm / 19" x 13.5" x 9" box. The TL1 is 17" x 13.5" x 7.5", so you could slightly overfill, and still get away with it.

We have discussed using our fabrics on future iterations….

Very nice back-pack indeed.

^^ In the 21oz Black selvedge.

If we did it in 21 we'd have to bond it to something else…

G. 'Scuse my ignorance. What do you mean by bonding it to something else?

[I'm assuming, by your statement, you just can't substitute the present canvas for 21oz denim & construct it using the present process TL use].

[Giles]

Correct, the 21 and indeed the 25 are not really meaty enough,  so we have to bond to a base fabric to give us the heft required…..

[No.88]

Gotcha. Cheers.

Bond the double duck to something beefy.  Natural leather might look awesome with the double indigo duck.

This Back Pack as it is, is a beauty. I saw it when I was in Gosport in October, and couldn't leave without one.

Two layer sounds nice. Any idea if the paraffin coated IH 22oz duck would work or perhaps even waxing 25oz denim for stiffness? Or maybe bonding heavy sateen or duck to ventile with burlap leather. The backpack looks great and experimenting with fabrics is exciting.

I've got a Defy Verbockel, which uses an 18 oz waxed canvas. I'd have thought that the IH fabrics would have been heavy duty enough.

[Giles]

We used 21oz to make a tote.  @Madame Buttonfly uses it every day, but imo, it is too floppy….....

[Cutlasshound]

Checked this out in person the other day. The fabric and construction is rock solid. The type of thing that will probably still be around and kicking long after Im gone.

Restocked.  Including 1 with no business card pocket on the outside…..

Very very happy with my Back pack. Off the chart quality once again. Off to play with some watches now.
