A tough, stylish and comfortable shoulder messenger bag.
A tough shoulder bag that works perfectly for motorcyclists. Adjust the shoulder strap to sit the bag neatly on the seat behind the rider to take almost all the weight. It will then sit neatly and not slide around too much.
A versatile and stylish carry bag that you will not be able to live without.
I'm always trying to improve my designs.
The latest innovation is to combine two of my favourite fabrics. I think it makes them a lot more stylish and even more durable. The result is Black 'n' Tan. The front, rear panel and side pockets are still oilskin. The band is tough 1000 denier black Nylon Kodra. The band or spine is where the bag takes the most scuffing and is the most vulnerable.
The new fabric is called Fortress. Sort of an oil-less oilskin. It's a microporous, hydrophobic, breathable and washable fabric developed in Australia to meet the challenges of our harsh climate. Fortress is impregnated into the fabric not on top like traditional oilskin.
Thanks for the quick delivery of my new bag. The black and tan does look good. However, it needs breaking in, it looks too new. This will be my fourth sholda bag, each lasting 3 or 4 years used every day. These bags are the perfect size for everyday use, can fit a small laptop, or wet weather gear and lunch on a day ride. Slacken the strap so it sits on the seat behind you, and you don't know its there. Get off the bike, and everything comes with you. So, out with the old bag, in with the new one.
I bought a black Shoulda Bags 20 years ago and have used it daily for all the sundry stuff I carry on and off my bikes as well as beer, wine and stuff from Bunnings every weekend. After 20 years - no exaggeration, the zip has chucked it in. Otherwise it's still in good shape. Great product. Just a testimonial I thought you might like to read. We can replace the zipper for you Greg, Andy
Decades ago I purchased the original Black Sholda bag and had it slung over my shoulder on every overseas adventure or Bathurst 1000 trip . I found it perfect to store my valuables close and sunnies , water plus the key clip is awesome . The original is still looking like new and used for trips . I did purchase a new style over 3 years ago used every day for work . Best bag for my purpose and bloody tough to boot . Neither have ever looked like failing but I am certain to grab another soon . Will the original black version ever return Andy ? No sorry mate the Black and Tan is the go now. So much more stylish!
