does anyone have a picture of these 2 side by side? its hard to tell from the computer generated graphics.

In addition, is there any other difference between the classic and the laptop besides the sleeve and handle? and is that handle removable?

I would like to see that you fixed pics where you can se the bag being worn buy a normal sized person?

What are the most updated dimensions of the build your own - eula? Different questions say different things and then different pages on the website say different things? Does anyone know the exact dimensions?

I'm thinking of buying a custom messenger but I've got a few questions:
a) What's the difference between cordura and ballistic nylon? I realise the latter is shinier while the former is more traditional, but what are the actual fabrics like?
b) What size would I need? I'm a university student (commute from home by bus) so the bag might be expected to take 2 - 4 bigish (law) textbooks plus a lunchbox and a pad of A4 paper. I was thinking a Large, but I don't know if that will be too big or not. I'm average height (don't have a clue - 5'9"-ish?

Is the Medium bag big enough, or do i need the large. If i do get the large will it be awkward to put my 15" macbook pro in the laptop slot made for a 17"?

They have the same dimensions but the TPRCV's are much different. Look at the medium sized bag for each to compare. Do you think they measured the laptop bags with a laptop already in them? Maybe the TPRCV's are wrong. Any help in rationalizing this is appreciated. Thanks.

I was able to track down a bag- but now I can't find the info, the dimensions and if it was H2o proof....it seems to be just a nylon lining...in which case I'm sad, I thought it was waterproof like my tote.

Can anyone help me with these two questions?

I'm finally going to buy the long-desired timbuk2 bags. but I need a bag where I can carry my laptop/camera/small electronics and my gym stuff. I was thinking of buying a large messenger bag.

What would your suggestion be?

I'm going on a trip to florida shortly and i need to know if my bag will fit in the overhead compartment. I don't want to have to leave it below the plane.

I would like to physically alter the dimensions for my computer sleeves I already bought. I like the padding and protection that It provides my new macbook air, but it is a little bit too tall. Is there any way to have it altered and have about 1 inch taken off the top or do I have to go find a tailor who might be able to do this?

I'm trying to figure out what size messenger bag I want. I want to be able to carry a folio, small nalgene, lunch, and such but don't want something huge. Basically, I'm concerned that a small might be too small for my needs or that a medium will look huge (when carried by a early-20s male in a suit).

Thoughts?

I am currently trying to decide what size laptop messenger I should get. The bag is going to serve a few different purposes, a day trip bag, overnight trip bag, school bag, a bag that I can take to work with a change of clothes (I work in a daycare...sometimes we get messy) and a bag to take to my internship.

So basically can the bag hold a change of clothes or two, a laptop (macbook, hopefully becoming a macbook pro soon) and other odds and ends plus toiletries (hair brush, shampoo, etc), or 2 text books, 2 notebooks and a laptop, and other odds and ends you always need? Basically I am trying to find a bag that will fit everything I need but not be too big for when I am only carrying a few things.

Also, do the grab handle and shoulder pad thing matter that much?

What are the dimensions of the ltd edition wool XS Eula bag? There are no dimensions on the Wool Eula page and it seems that there are different dimensions depending on the fabric. For example, the Orange Whimsy page gives the XS Eula dimensions as W12.8, H10.3, D5.3 but the BYOB page gives the XS Eula dimensions as W12, H8.5, D 3.5. Can you help?

[Also just a general moan....what's up with the shipment charges to the UK?? $50!? I must admit it's definitely a turn off...I have no desire to line UPS' pockets. I don't really have an option to go to a local retailer...the only stores selling timbuk2 in the UK are in England (people in Scotland need good bags too!). Would it not be possible to offer buyers a choice of shipping options...I wouldn't mind waiting a month for a fab bag if I only had to pay $15 shipping....okay...rant done]

Thanks!

I am looking for a messenger bag with laptop sleeve for a 14. 25in X 10.75 in X 1.75in laptop (Toshiba 15.4 display diagonally).

I see I have the herribone, hemp or commute to choose from, but which one is most durable and most waterproof?

Thank you

Will you have more Herringbone Commute bags in medium size?

Do you have images of people wearing the bags? It'd be helpful to figure out what size to order?

I like the data dump backpack but it seems kinda small what other pack is most similar with all the pockets and such but holds more stuff?

I just discovered the "Herringbone" version of the blogger bag .. is this the same as the "333" collection I see a bag advertised as on a different website? I may have to have this bag. Question - I am a short petite woman and am afraid this bag may be too large hanging down my side/shoulder? Is the strap adjustable to shorten enough so I don't look silly?

Also, would this material be just as water resistant as the balistic nylon version? Need to keep that laptop dry. (and would my 12" iBook be swimming in here?)

I need another bag like a hole in the head, LOL .. shh ... don't tell my husband.
