After some careful measuring I ordered a Carradice Super C Audax saddlebag from the factory, a birthday gift from my spouse. It seems to be a good size for long day trips and the interior zipped pocket is a useful addition, along with the quick-release buckles.
I swapped the white leather straps for Carradice black ones and I used a black longer strap to go round the seatpost. This left a white leather patch that takes the seatpost strap which I dyed black using an Artline 109 permanent maker pen. I applied three coats, rubbing after each drying until the colour seemed stable.
I am really pleased with its appearance and the way it rests on the Blackburn rear carrier, plus there is no rubbing against my legs.
