IHE-37-BLK - 21oz Denim Waist Bag - Superblack Non-Fade

[pechelman]

has anyone washed theirs? did you handwash or throw it in the machine?
curious how it went and if any special care was given toward the leather trim.
feel like mine is getting a bit more crusty looking, especially on the top flap

tentatively thinking about playing it safe'ish and handwashing in warm water in a 5 gallon bucket with some detergent and a scrubby brush

@Ben has one of these and may have some washing insight. He is away for a few days but may have some insight come Monday.

@pechelman I chucked mine in the wash without a thought, and air dried it without any issues. It's now softer and floppier than before but the denim looks perfect.

[pechelman]

Thanks guys.
I'm pretty tied up with work now anyway so this will be a future me thing. Will definitely do a before and after since it's been with me daily for over a year now

[Ben]

@pechelman I never washed mine, sorry not to have some better info! I think I would handwash it on account of the leather trim as you mentioned, I know jeans can go in the wash at low to medium temp. without affecting the backpatch too much but whether the same goes for the leather trim on these bags or not I couldn't say.

What fits in the bag!

[goosehd]

@AdamJ Is that a black IPod case? I’ve not seen one before.

[AdamJ]

@goosehd Yes, I believe it's a cover, not a stock black case

Can we get a backpack like this? I don't want to get beat up for wearing a fanny pack.

Just got back from a trip to Netherlands and Croatia with this bag, loving using it on those big trips, carry chargers, medicines, key cards and passport in it, takes a beating and fits ALOT. Wish I had more pics, only have this half bag shot more focussed on the snacks from my brothers canal boat in Amsterdam

It’s a reasonable train of logic. Fanny packs are typically reserved for guys that are capable of beating up others, but are chill enough not to do so unless provoked and cornered. {ref. Joe Rogan.}

I love mine, it's a very handy size. It is never going around my waist, however, works well over my shoulder.

[Ikeaparty]

Yeah I really love the bag, I do wish there was a black version that was made with SBG but might just have to get the indigo one sometime

I would wear the scars and the bruises with pride......

Fuck yeah

Ok, finally. After all of my saying I need to do this, it happened today. Will take advantage of the nice warm sunny holiday/weekend to ensure it's can fully dry.

I tried to capture a before showing all the dirt on the surface. The side by side under the snap pocket really shows how ready this was to be cleaned. Did everything in a small bathroom sink. Soaked in clean warm water, brushed, soaked in dr bronners, brushed, and then rinsed a few times until I was satisfied. Now hanging to drip dry a bit. Will update after it fully dries.
