  • Brooks were showing off their newer Colt saddles, as well as loads of custom designed versions of their more regular saddles, in loads of colours and patterns. One new product was what looked like a courier/messenger bag, but I'd classify it more as a Expedition bag. It was leather, of course, and massive. It was of backpack design, with crossover straps at the front. It had metal fastening rings at the front of the shoulder, top of the chest.....possibly they're simply caribiners. A cleaver fastening idea. Strong enough to support human body's weight, so easily good enough for a bag; and quick release too. I liked it. But it was too big for all day use in my opinion, but definitely beautiful, in a muscular kind of way. No pictures of it on their website - I should have taken a photo at the show. I've used an old Howie's bag image, to give an approximate idea of what it essentially looks like.
