too bad you are not doing them any more,
I love the canvas look, it give you a more poet/urban look than
the actual timbuk2 who are more outdoor style.

How is the messenger wool fabric ? does it look 'waxed' or more like the canvas ?
is it waterproof ?

If you're interested, I just purchased a TB2 Single Speed Collection Large Courier Large in black today from EBay. The seller has one NWT in khaki that he is also offering if you want to check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...

This answers my question that I canot get the commuter medium as I have the T61p with the 15.4" widescreen. Sounds just 2 tight and I do use and keep the extended life battery in it. – John777, on June 04, 2008 21:06

mrm62 is right. the macbook pro (15") fits perfectly into the (medium's) slot. it's snug, but it doesnt seem to be putting stress on the zippers (it easily zips up). i recommend being conservative on the height dimension when looking around at computers/bags. the width isn't an issue.

I'm looking at purchasing a Commute Medium. I love the bag and its organizational features. I checked it out at REI the other day, and it's a comfortable, well-built item. The medium size is just right. I can accept that it won't fit my current monster PC laptop (11.5" deep), but from the research I'm doing, it seems like it's half an inch shy of fitting many 15" laptops on the market.

I've been reading a lot of reviews, and it sounds like there's a real pattern of people reading the bag description, ordering the bag, then finding out that their laptop (which is within the specs) doesn't fit. I read some reviews over on eBags and other sites that would indicate this. Maybe Timbuk2 could change the specs on the website? Or is this a quality control issue that will be fixed soon?

A comment on the question "zipper pocket in the back panel" in Timbuk2:

i'm not looking for a "commute" bag (already have one) but a bag with a zipper pocket in the back panel in a "build your own" configuration (i.e., made in sf). thanks anyway – breezebe, on May 31, 2008 20:47

A little dirt builds character...

Clark replied on May 30, 2008 21:20 to the question "New Commute Bag with 15" MacBook Pro" in Timbuk2:

snug like a bug in a rug!! :) It does fit, I swear it does. The bag needs a little TLC when you first get it to bring it out of it's shell... like opening up the bottom corners of the bag.

Clark replied on May 30, 2008 21:14 to the question "Bag too small" in Timbuk2:

yep that bag is a bit tight on 17 inchers, specially if it's a monster PC of some sort. If you bought it on Timbuk2.com you can return it following this link: www.timbuk2.com/returns

The Wool messenger is the same silhouette
as the classic laptop messenger. It has the same great accessory panel inside and is the same measurements for each size. http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/l...

umm a toothbrush and warm soapy water... at least that's what my mom sez to do!

Clark replied on May 30, 2008 18:39 to the question "zipper pocket in the back panel" in Timbuk2:

Hi - sorry but we don't currently offer the Commute as a "build your own" option. However we do have some new fabrics in that style - herringbone, cross, Hemp/PET, etc. check 'em out on-line http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/l...

Hey Tparty! We love that people want more colors in the Tote! Although I don't have a timeline for you, I know there will be more options coming... uh but I wouldn't like hold your breath or anything cuz I'd hate for you to pass out while waiting. Seriously though, possibly more colors next Spring - whao that's far away I know!! Hopefully sooner!

Clark replied on May 30, 2008 18:15 to the question "Is it possible to get the Thorina Rose Pheasant Graphic Messenger in a large?" in Timbuk2:

Nope, that limited edition bag is only made in Medium and Small... and now Small is the only size still available - was a popular print.
