Well... I think we've talked about this before, but I have a journal, my Land Rover day planner, some bills I have to mail and maybe some gum or Altoids. I do use it a lot as a diaper bag...bottles, a few rags and a sucker thing the the baby. This was why I got it anyway...I was not goung to carry a...

I think the best way to age a WPG bag is to use it. That's what I'm doing with mine; now 3 weeks old. I was going to dye it at first, but I think I'll just leave it as is since it is a cool color. You do have to darken the strap and make it softer. BTW...if you like writing check this out http://www...

Happy birthday man!

I'm 34 and I've done more since 25 than I did before I was 25 so there's hope for you yet!

You know the WPG bags are quite nice. I know I've talked'em up before, but I'll say it again...take a look at them.

Now go have some birthday fun!

Take Care,

Daniel

Indydawg, Sometimes with free web space you cannot remotely view them from another site.

EA, When there are such nice repros that already come with a leather strap to be had, who cares how hard they are to find...that's what I say. The repros are really nice! Anyone ever watch to see when Indy has his bag on one shot and it's gone in the next shot like in the Raven's bar or when he clim...

Rumpled,

Strong enough for anything I could think of using it for. Thick material and lots of stitching. For the $38 it's a great bag.

IndyBlues,

I think the whole thing had a strange smell...like chemicals or something.

As for the strap I've sanded it down, polished it and put conditioner on it. Now it smells like leather that's been polished...like shoes.

Hey!

I used some Zymöl leather conditioner on the back and sides and WOW! It must be the lanolin something, but this thing looks nice and dark and it's softer too.

Thanks for the leather conditioner idea.

Indiana Jackson, I'm coloring my strap now with shoe polish...I mean right now! I had to sand it to get the polish to stick. If you roll the strap back on itself with the colored side in it really softens it up and takes away the smoothness of the finish. As for the color of the bag...I'm holding fo...

YES...IT'S A LAND ROVER! Thanks E.A.

It came long before the "Defender" and the "Range Rover" AND IT'S BETTER!

At least you didn't call it a Jeep...thank God!

The bag is NOT O.D. Green...it's not. The color in the picture is true to life.

Well, my fingers are killing me, but my strap is nice and flexible now. I sat and watches "The Catacombs of Rome" and worked it last night. I will be darkening it up tonight. As for the Khaki color of the bag...it's kind of growing on me. I think I'll hold off on the dye job for a while. A...

This one was purchased for me to use as a diaper bag...it's true! It's 100 times more manly than those things sold as diaper bags.

I think I'll dye the bag and the strap. One thing for sure is that I need to wear this thing in.

Hemingway Jones,

Yes, it's really that khaki...there's no green in it. The straps that hold the loops are green, but the bag is tan.

Well, it came today! I know staying home from work would do the trick. I've given it a test run to the coffee shop with my cell phone, a bottle for my 4 month old, something to wipe her face with and my day planner. IT'S SWEET! I slung it around the mirror of my Land Rover to show it off...my digita...

I placed it last thursday, but I live about 300 miles from WPG.

They said that they sent it out on Monday. Now, if they use UPS then that's cool, but it it's US Mail they were off on Monday; MLK.

Still waiting.

Sergei, give it time...the laptops of tomorrow will fit the bag with room to spare!

I should have my WPG MK on my doorstep when I get home...if not I think I'll take tomorrow off to wait for it...no joke! Then I'll post a picture with it.

I CAN'T WAIT!

WPG MK Strap Question

As I posted yesterday I have a WPG MK bag on the way. In the pictures the strap looks nice and dark on the outside, but the inside is light in color. Is this correct? Can it be stained or does it get darker with use? I can't wait to get this thing...I know wit's weird for a 34 year old to be so exci...
