What is wrong with Superfuture? Hasn't been available for almost 48hours.

I'm currently looking for a small-ish satchel/messenger bag that I can use for daily use with gear in this range:
-
Kindle or "pad" of some sort
-
A small camera with a lens attached + 1 or 2 small lenses (think leica m8/sony nex-7 sized camera and rangefinder sized lenses)
-
small folder knife, spare batteri, spare memory card, flashlight, sunglasses etc.
I would like this bag to be a saddleback, but alas: neither their satchel or their messenger bag seems geared twoards photographers.
I have a Grafea leather camera bag already, but it does not smell, feel and taste quality, like my saddleback briefcase does.
So:
Other leather bag makers that has a rugged, classic look to their gear and that gives me something with either divided main chambers and small pockets within those or external pockets for odds and ends on the outside?

Apart from our own B/S forum, SuFu, SF, MyNudies, Hypebeast and e-bay, what other sites would you recommend for selling gear?
saw today that asos (www.asos.com) have a marketplace, no idea if it is any good, how it works, etc, but have a look…

GREAT QUESTION AS ALWAYS JACO.*glad it's not a sizing question since this place seems to be getting a bit more than usual recently. of course no offense to those trying to find their size, it's just i'm not all that concerned with it

Giles, you spec'd the 25oz XHS denim, so I'm curious, why sanforized and not raw?
- We had already done a very heavy unsanforised (the 634SR 21/23)
- We had some of it left and I knew I was going to do something with it
- We were scared that given how difficult the jeans were going to be to make, we did not want the added unknown variable of shrinkage

Lucifer, I was looking at something from here http://www.htleather.co.uk/catalogue/satchel/satchel.html#ssatch for a good while a year or so ago.

Those actually look very good! More spots for my EDC-stuff and still room for a small camera
Thanks for the tip! -
Lucifer, Mastersofdeath's link to Henry Tomkins is a good shout.
I bought the large satchel from him 18 months ago and I really love it.
I went to see Henry in his workshop in Exeter to sort it out as he makes everything to order - the bloke is as mad a march hare, his workshop is a shit hole but turns out great stuff.
I would recommend. -
mvb - I have the Eastman sweater. Fantastic construction and unbelievably warm, however I would say it is a little itchy if worn with nothing underneath. mind you I've not washed it yet, still smells very sheepy too!
My Dad bought a similar one recently which is softer but i'm not sure of the price or indeed where he bought it. I will enquire. -
I went for a 42 , so TTS for me. fits fine, not too tight not too loose. room for something underneath (t shirt) .

^^^^although it is not leather think tank make the most bulletproof camera bags check out the retrospective series.
I feel that paying more than 350-550 USD for a small-ish shoulder-bag is.. kind of harsh.
