That’s what I am think. I just commented above that I haven’t met anybody yet who wants this. I can’t believe this is a common stance.

I haven’t heard anybody really voicing this wish in person here at all. Seems odd it’s so “popular”.

Thanks. I agree with flaps being impractical. I have only made one bag with a flap and for a reason. They are in the way most of the time. I added the one pocket because I have a smaller handbag with one for a smartphone and I actually use it! Quick in and out.

The larger bag (no dividers, pockets etc inside) would make it a lengthier search for the phone. So a pocket made sense to me.

Regarding dividers and pockets: I honestly don’t like them. I never add anything because I prefer to have a couple of pouches for smaller things instead. I transfer EDC items often from bag to bag and it’s a hassle if not portable but in x pocket in each bag. Also dividers often flop around and stuff gets caught.

One thing I always add my bags to the inside is a D-ring close to the zipper front. I use S -carabiners to hook my keys. I hate searching for keys!

I also learned I don’t like floppy bags. Always prefer structured bags that hold shape. And a clean, uncluttered outside. I often use minimal hardware and definitely no decorative rivets etc. The simple styles showcase good leather best.

Thank you! Exactly what I was going for!

And wasn’t that ever genius? He fired us up and united us even more. And he gave the movement a name that’s now worldwide recognized. I have seen tons of people from Europe, Australia and even Asia use it.

Even annex is too soft

Agree with that. Now is not the time to pick a fight with China. I was surprised that Carney picked China here. The much bigger threat is the USA. We don’t have to be best friends with China but I think to have a strategic trade partnership is crucial right now to eliminate ties with USA as much as possible.

I’ll add to that. Their sister brand is Reitmans and they have what I was looking for for a while: cotton leggings with pockets! Quite pricey but it seems like they offer 40% off every few weeks. I also saw some viscose camis and tops while on store. I’ll have to check out more of their basics.

Comes at a good time. Before people think he is backing off. I hope all the Buy Canadian and Elbows Up people understand that voting for PP goes right against the movement.

They don’t do it to save “us” money.
