Chopper Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Ok folks, so the American Apparel bag linked here finally arrived. Here's some photos to show you all what I'm working with. Not bad for $15. It's got a nice sheen to it, similar to the film. Cylindrical in shape. Shot with my legs for scale. Size looks about right. I will need to do some mods -- specifically stitch ripping the straps off, removing the label, and adding 1" black cotton webbing. Need to also add a square, black-painted metal tri-glide on each strap, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Bobeey-Adjuster-Sliders-Triglide-Leathercraft/dp/B075LHT9D9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=flat%2Btriglide&qid=1578781245&sr=8-1&th=1 4
Whiskey Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Finally arrived The diameter of bag looks pretty small 5

FoxTrooper Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I've been searching online for a duffle bag, and I can't find the right one, so now I'm thinking I should just make one from scratch. Maybe we can even put together a thread/tutorial for it, eventually! First thing I need to know are the measurements for the bag. Once I have the approximate measures, everything else should fall into place from there. 1
BikerScout007 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Quick draft: Black smooth, shiny material (Nylon, polyester, leather, etc.) Cylindrical-shaped with circular ends. Approximately 20 inches long and 8 inches wide. Black fabric straps attached to the bag with small metallic silver discs (rivets, Chicago screws, etc.) One black tri-glide buckle on each strap. Stuffed so that the shape of the bag is apparent. 2

Hask Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 It may not show up for some yet as WIKI is being slow tonight 1
Whiskey Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 I purchased my bag from here on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F321447889881 1
FoxTrooper Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 About how long and wide should the straps be?
