well, sometimes they have to make the item - so it might take a couple more days, but they work as fast as humanly possible

Never had any experience with this company. I occassionally use a military style pack

TAD's stuff is top notch, built to last, and if you manage to break it, they'll replace it for free

I've also heard that the guys at TAD are IH fans

Just wanted to say Thank you for posting this….awesome pack

looks plenty tough, but for me a 30 litre rucksack that weighs over 2kg empty drops down the list a little

I'm looking for a post, but I'm not sure which thread it was in, that included an online source of flat waxed laces.  The search function and my google fu are failing me.  I think it was in one of the boot/shoe threads and was post by Giles, hectic, or somebody else from the UK.  Anybody know where to find it?

[Giles]

Not me I am afraid…...

[Chris]

I saw a post about that over on SuFu in the shoes & boots thread.  If I remember correctly, the Alden store in Manhattan sells those laces for around $5 plus shipping.  Don't remember seeing any sources outside the US, though.

Recommendation on a camera bag for DSLR?

Small is preferred, but needs enough room to carry the camera body and two lenses.

Thanks in advance.

Crumpler must be worth a look I think, but I only speak from messenger bag experience.

[Beatle]

well, small does not always make sense..sooner or later you might decide to bring a flash or a couple of battery packs plus grip..

I've used this one for a long time, very light but durable, fits everything I need ..(2 lenses, flash, battery clips plus charger)

you will find them on ebay

I have a small Domke bag and like it. Doesn't scream "camera bag"! Mine's like this but black and not waxed: LINK

Artisan and Artist are made in Japan and very nice, LINK

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Japanese brand Back Street Crawler Jeans? I had a rather nice selvedge pair bought in London in the late 90's, but I have never heard of them since - and searches on the intarwebs only brings up a few results from SuFu without any information. Unfortunately, they're long gone, so I don't have any pictures, but they were exactly like these:
