It looks like every small criticism I had of the (already great) first iteration has now been addressed. Really glad to see the shoulder D-rings moved to the back and the padded laptop pocket is a great idea. I’m really tempted by this, I might have to upgrade if I can figure out a way to sell the one I already have.
Questions for Tyler if you’re reading this: -I remember you said that you made changes to the Chestnut leather‘s coating for durability. My Chestnut leather has been suffering at areas of high wear — what exactly was changed and do you think those changes would have prevented the issues I’ve had? -For the laptop cushion, where exactly is it attaching (hard to see in the photos)? Is it to the sides of the bag’s interior, meaning is there velcro permanently attached to the inside of the bag? Any pictures of what the bag will look like without the cushion in it? Thanks!
Thanks for the message. Glad we were able to tempt with yet another Calhoun! Let me see if I can answer some of the questions. Chestnut - essentially the difference between early runs of the Chestnut and later is that there is a bit more 'finish' on the leather. We don't go nuts with our tannage on finish because it can cheapen the look of it and doesn't allow for much patina. So we just inched up the amount of finish on our current Chestnut from where it was in early drops. As for areas of high wear - I think you'll see some signs of pataina/wear with any of our products for the reason that we don't use heavily coated leathers. They just don't feel nice or wear naturally if they have too much of a finish - in my opinion.
Laptop cushion - The divider attaches to the inside of the sides of the bag with velcro. Let me work on some photos of it without the divider. Essentially, there are velcro strips on the inside of the side panels that the edges of the divider attach to.
