does anyone know what the proper indy bag measures? I just got one today in the mail and it looks a bit small.. wondering if I need to go with something else.

Don't sweat it, you've probably got the right size!

I wondered the same thing at first, and this thread was all the reassurance I needed. viewtopic.php?t=22774

well, I found the dimensions with a quick search.. it says "almost" 10" tall by 10" wide and 3" deep. mine is pretty much right on the height and about an inch short in length. I just find that 10x10 hard to believe. there are plenty of pics where the bag looks to be well over a foot wide.. specifically the famous picture of HF in the directors chair during raiders. but as usual, if you guys say it's right, I'll go with it..

ah, you beat me by a couple of seconds there. I still think that the pic of him in that chair shows a larger bag.. camera perspective or not. but after seeing this pic:



Even at 6'2", the bag fits me on the side in almost exactly the same way, just nearly covering my entire hip, and I have a 33" waist. soo.. even though the bag looks like a camera pouch, I'll stick with it. kind of thought it would be cool to use to collect candy with when I take my cousins trick or treating, but 3 bite sized snickers and I'm done.

I found my MK VII to be smaller but not too small to be useful. I find it very useful for day trips but certainly not large enough or practical enough for a laptop. Remember these things were made for gas masks.
best and congrats on the new bag. You will come to love it quickly I am sure.

actually, it's funny.. for as small as it is, I can stuff my holster, leather belt, and and coiled 8ft whip inside nice and snugly. looks can be deceiving.

I really like how it has the internal dividers. I have another bag, I think it is a Mark VI and it has a pocket on the backside of the bag which I also really like. It is also nice and strong I find so you can load it up.

Look at the drastic difference in size of these two bags. Big one is a MKVII, Canadian. The smaller is a MKVI.

TR.. which one is the bag you're selling? the smaller or the bigger?

The bag was made with TARDIS technology.,.. it is bigger one the inside than the outside ....

You do, of course, realize that Harrison Ford is almost as tall as you? His height is 5' 11¾" or (1.82 m). So if you are saying that someone that is just about 2 inches smaller than you is wearing their bag almost identically, then you can't beat the matching fit.
