      ^ My mental image every time I see someone super cool on Instagram with their tote  😃

      I bet if it were an IH denim tote bag you wouldn't be knocking the look  😃

            I would.

            A tote is a tote, no matter who makes it. I have limited edition Studio D'Artisan and Momotaro totes (that came with jeans) and I have never, and will never, use them.

              Cool - assuming the Sd'A has a pig on it, I'll let you know when the tote I got for free is ready to be replaced…  😘

                            Admittedly, I carry my G19 pretty often too. I carry in all sorts of environments, so it's nice that I can detail strip and clean with nominal tools. The P229 would either require a lot more tools or more realistically (because I'm paranoid about life saving equipment, I get a new fire extinguisher every year), a trip to a smith.

                              Is that a one off @Giles? I have a similar tote from The Flat Head but it's much slimmer and more purselike. Darci likes it a bit.

                                    I have two totes, one by Kletterwerks and another by Acronym.  Both are solid, well-made practical bits of kit that have carried a shit load and taken a lot of abuse. They were also very useful work bags when I had a prolapsed disc and couldn't carry a backpack.

                                    Primarily, I use a them for work as an addition to a backpack/messenger when I have to carry multiple files.  In the alternative, they are useful as a bag for the kids toys if we are going away.

                                    I don't buy any carry items for fashionable purposes these days, only things that I can use practically.  Totes definitely have their place in a carry arsenal and can be very useful bits of kit.

                                        If folks around here were interested in absolute practicality, we'd be using bags with 500D cordura for size and weight to strength considerations. Additionally, cotton weighs a frickin ton when it's wet, cordura dries fast.

                                        Ounces equals pounds. Pounds equals pain. If I'm taking a trip where I know I need to be on the move, I'm taking the lightweight equivalent of everything I have, including what I'm putting it in.

                                            The GR1 is 1000D, overkill if you're not dragging it over coarse materials. I've been using 500D for the last few years, it's adequately strong and durable but the weight savings is considerable.

                                            Actually, I've left it on the ground at outdoor rifle ranges which are covered in brass, and I don't even have abrasion marks on it.
