For Sale: Black Rainbow Project 'Violet' hip pouches

Any news on the back packs?

Yes, they're awesome.

Any news on the Indigos? :)

I forgot about this.
After reading BRP's brave adventures at the DD I don't think he will feel like sewing this week. Whenever they are ready they are welcomed.

Sorry for the lack of info recently folks.
I had a few prizes to do for events I was sponsoring, then I've had some stuff to sort on the business side of things which has allowed me to buy a second sewing machine for certain parts of the big bags and new indigo pouches.
There are violet pouches on my bench right now which need finishing...these are for the list already on here. They're first to finish.
I have a buckle order which should be with me very soon which will allow me to do a few of the bags which are on order, and also there should be buckles in there for doing ten of the new Indigo pouches, and ten belts.

The backpack is what I want to get onto more than anything, but I just never seem to get the chance. I really want to have something ready for the winter months and am trying to find the time.

I have my kids here for 4 weeks now, so I'm not going to be able to work full time, but I should have the violet pouches done within a week.
I'll probably be doing them a couple at a time and I'll PM the people on the list in order. I stand more chance of doing them that way rather than in one huge batch.

There are a couple of very nice people planning on investing some money in the company, I'm hoping this will allow me to maybe outsource production of the smaller items like the pouches to a local sewing firm. This should mean no waiting times. This will only happen though if the quality can be matched for a sensible price.

In other news there will also be some other items such as clothing and stickers on the way to hopefully keep things ticking over.

Thanks for being so patient folks...It's not easy trying to get something like this off the ground yourself when your materials are so damn expensive.
Hopefully It'll be worth the wait when everything is rolling smoothly.

I like the tee, sir. Looking forward to it and my biigggggggggggg bag! ;-)

hoping to get the violet pouch! :)

T looks really cool!

Good news about the company investment, hope it works out

good luck scott

I'd buy that t-shirt, nice project. Congrats on the investment also.
Will start saving for my Indio (have seen these in the flesh, they are exceptional).
Dibs!

That t-shirt is awesome.

Are the indigo pouches smaller or larger than the violet ones?

You need to get that website running too!! ;0)

Website should be up very soon...albeit with only the three products on at the moment, but at least it'll be clickable and readable. :]

The Indigo pouch is slightly bigger as it is constructed more like a mini messenger bag. It doesn't have the secondary flap on the outside as it was initially aimed at working couriers who would already be carrying a bag, but needed a place to keep their XDA's and other items they needed regular and quick access to. They do feature a cobra buckle with elastic strap though so can still hold a stowaway jacket or similar under the flap.
I'll put up proper info and pics of these once the first batch is made.

You might even see one at the Hillclimb tomorrow in the prize pile. ;]

Sounds good.... Mini fagh holder too?

I'm testing some new lock holders which are very sturdy compared to the webbing/fabric horse style and will hopefully make carrying Fahgs a little less of a pain in the ass/hip.
There will be two sizes available. It should work nicely with the double thick BRP belt.

can you get a list going for the webbing belt and a mini fagh holster...........?
Or put me on the PM list please? That would probably do.....until I see one of the pouches then want that!!

Trying to avoid anymore lists just now as it all gets a bit overwhelming.

Both the Violet and the Indigo pouch fit Fahgs in the built in lock holders by the way...but then of course it means all your weight is on one side.

Awesome T and hope the funding works out for you. Love the Violet and belt and can't wait to get my mitts on the bag.

No worries, just keep me in mind when the holsters and belts are ready ;o)

Sorry folks...my internet has been off for over a week so I've been unable to post or reply to emails.

I have the first 5 Violet pouches sitting finished on my bench right now, with another 13 not far from being done, so if the first 5 names on the list could get in touch with me please to arrange collection and payment that would be great.
The rest should be ready by the weekend.

Before anybody asks though, I think the 8 'non list' pouches are all accounted for too.

I'll be moving onto bags straight after the pouches, but unfortunately the buckle order that came through wasn't complete, so i'll be in touch with those waiting on their bags as I only have the complete buckle order for the first 3 of 8 bags. :[

But I'm trying my best to catch up.

Thanks a lot, we know you've been very busy

Can anybody enlighten me about the belts? Quite keen on something that would give my violet pouch a little better support - is that what they do?

So where is the next list? Need to put my name on it...hate bloody waiting lists!

The belts are double thick hardcore webbing on the side where the pouches sit, and they use a 2" cobra buckle.
They offer better support than a regular belt in that they don't 'scrunch up'...but obviously if it's threaded through your trousers then a heavy pouch can still pull on them.
