Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Hey, I'm back again! This time I got a 1941 original from Soldier by Frotune - they have fair shipping costs - £13 to Poland. Of course, I washed the bag by hand and ironed the creases. (Not perfect everywhere- bottom is difficult to iron). In addition, a leather flap for the pocket, the hem of the ...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

I'm back! I received the bag from the seamstress - she corrected the seam on the right side a bit and made the correct seam on the faulty - left side. It's a bit shorter because there wasn't as much material but for me it's fine 🤠. Plus, of course, I wouldn't be myself if I didn't add a small modifi...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

The tailor only accepts after January 7 because he has an inventory. The stitching will take care of, but the inner edges will not. Also, on his advice, I decided to secure the inside edges myself - I sewed them by hand with waxed thread (I sew in leather so I had it on hand). Visually it looks ugly...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Tomorrow I'm going to a local tailor shop to discuss improving this sewing and protecting the inside edges from fraying 🤠. I'll take the opportunity to use the return for the repair. I just preferred the Wested to the Magnolia because of the hardware without the black paint - nickel/chrome plating h...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

They wrote (surprisingly) that there would be some kind of refund to the account.

Fortunately I don't do cosplay so I will survive that something there is not perfect. Overall bag great 🤠

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Unfortunelly a bag has a sewing defect - the seams in the marker places should be symmetrical - the correct seam on the right side. Return unfortunately is not an option due to the very high shipping costs plus duty. (The fees were as much as the bag). I have already written to Wested In the other h...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Hi, I ordered from Wested. The belt is from a Polish military bag from the 1970s-80s. For the bottom I gave a piece of thick cowhide protected with beeswax-based balm. The canvas is thick and fleshy. It has adequate rigidity. Sewn with polyester thread - for me a plus because you can melt with a lig...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

You're welcome. Yes, mine are the same. As in material and quality. The only thing that was different was that bag from Wested had lanyard disc colored nickel (I fixed this with black metal spray paint) and had nickel O-rings for strap, while Magnoli bag had correct lanyard disc color and black O-r...

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Hi I have a dilemma between the Magnolia reproduction and the Wested Leather reproduction. Which one offers the best quality, the best reproduction of the original? Which one will just be better? Magnoli I know has something plastic, probably a rivet. Wested has very few reviews but looks better......

Re: Satchel/Bag - the best repo?

Hey. :TOH:

Modern interior accoutrements do not want.

I am only interested in the quality of the tarp-.
Its thickness, stiffness and the quality of the metal fittings
