        I made a mistake and began to engage with r/rawdenim and answered a question someone had who needed a straight leg cut for someone with big thighs (I understand given that I'm in that boat). Someone on there who's also all over sufu told me I'm wrong to rec the 634 as it's on the slim side of slim-straight. Is this the comment of some anti-fit fringe member or am I totally wrong? I've always seen the 634 as a straight leg cut, etc. Help me win this Internet commenting war guys.

          I know exactly who you're talking about, haha. I'm with you on the 634. That particular person seems to only think Sugar Cane and TCB make straight leg cuts.

            It's definitely a straight cut. Slim/straight cut. It says so in the product description.

              I own several pairs of Sugar Cane "straight cut" jeans, and my pairs of IH-634S-GR are definitely more straight in comparison.

              @Giles any chance of seeing the gray selvedge 21oz returning?

                No offense to Luke and Giles. But I am hoping they have something to suggest that looks less like something from the movie Cliffhanger. 😂

                  @henry_david r/rawdenim has some weird comments from know-it-alls sometimes. I used to frequent that sub but have gravitated here. It's much more informed and pleasant.

                      @Palmer – LOL glad you know them, too. And I've noticed that, @Oaktavia. Hadn't ever been on much as it's always been nicer and more "educational" here.

                        @Filthy if you're after a retro pack, Rivendell Mountain Works have several that are straight out of the seventies!

                        The Tom Bihn Guide's Pack, Shadow Guide 33 (the smaller 23 won't fit a big laptop), Guide's Edition Paragon, and Design Lab Edition Paragon all play around with more classic silhouettes. They'll fit a 16" or 17" laptop, though I'm not sure if the Guide's Pack includes a sleeve.

                        Trakke do some really nice backpacks. The Storr is a travel design, with a zip-open front.

                              There's an REI store near me that has the ones Luke and Giles suggested and I want to check them out…. and if I don't like them I will probably order a Rivendell. I should hold off and decide what computer I am gonna get first. I'm leaning towards a Surface Pro so I can do Clipstudio Paint and Zbrush on there. I am tied of carrying around like 25 pounds of laptop and 650 watt power brick with me everywhere I go to not ever play any video games on anyway.

                                The wife and I each have one. Hers is the OG design from 2012. Mine is the slate one on the left. There’s some subtle design tweaks but basically the same..

                                  @Graeme! Tom Bihn is STELLAR. I have their Daypack but buds of mine have traveled the world over with their gear.

                                    @Brock yeah those are super nice. If they made one gray or blue with black leather, I'd be all over it.

                                    If feel like your wife would like this t-shirt I have. I wouldn't ever wear it but I liked the art on it a lot. It's dye sublimation printed on a polyester shirt so it feels icky on your skin. But it looks cool.

                                      You could get the one I have and hand dye the leather black really carefully [emoji2]

                                          Hey @Brock I wrote to them and requested them make me a charcoal Wilder with black leather. I'll bet they say, "we currently have no plans…"  😃

                                            Defy make the Verbockel in black waxed canvas or black ballistic nylon.

                                            They used to do them in grey, but I think that colour has been discontinued. However, the newer models have a zip that runs up the middle, allowing for easier access (and banana peel impressions).
