When fixed-gear bikes were all the rage. I used messenger bags. After that. I loved bags like Royal Mail and newspaper bags. which were shoulder bags that hugged my body tightly. However. before I knew it. I stopped riding my bike and somehow refrained from using messenger bags. But when I was using a sling bag I made in the spring. the desire to use a messenger bag that I could use without feeling self-conscious started to bubble up inside me. I felt it would be embarrassing if it was too straight. so I found some garment-dyed Oxford nylon and used it to make a nostalgic messenger bag. I think this would be easy to use for people in both tech and American casual styles. It has a three-point belt. which was also popular with the sling bag. and can be worn on either side.
