Yeah it’s tough as it’s a second job, but you have to be fair to paying customers. He has a decent demand, but I honestly think that’s diminished somewhat. I know 4 people who will now look elsewhere, when they were very excited about it all.
I would consider buying off him, but only stock products not custom, to prove it was actually completed ...
But tbh, I’m going to look at others, as I say, new barbag will be from naffsacks, also Bristol based, and I have high hopes!

Surely frustrating when planning a trip and in need of bags.
Lack of communication is never good. He was very prompt with me about a year ago when I enquired.I hope he gets his business model together and will probably be buying from him again. Really noice craftsmanship, plus can't afford the fucking swift industries stuff. (Anyone need a tall handlebar bag?)
Looking forward to your naffsack update!

I think Jon, aka Mack Workshop, became a victim of his own success. He makes bags is his spare time, whilst holding down a full time job during the day. He was using the crimble break to catch up, and even stopped taking on fresh orders. I had communications with him before Christmas, he got back in touch in the new year, as it happened Christmas day sorted out my new bag needs, so cancelled the order.
His products are of excellent quality, will definitely use him in the future. Hope he can get on top of his demand/supply issues, he really does deserve (imo) to make it work.
