I love anything Brooks England LTD makes. I was very excited to see their products being sold at Sierra Trading Post. Its really hard to find anything Brooks on sale or discount. I use this bag daily for my laptop and some times famers markets. Its great how it coverts into a tote. My only issue was with Sierra Trading Post and there new smart post shipping. In the past the used UPS ground and it showed up at my door. I live in a area where we don't get mail service. I had to go to a post office that I don't belong to and had to convince the person behind the counter to not send it back and give it to me. All in all I wish they would tell people about the new shipping. No biggy though.

This is an incredible bag and should last you forever. It is built like a tank and will just age with grace and character.
According to Brooks: - the B1 Moulded Bag was the product of a collaboration between the Brooks' saddle factory and the Royal College of Art. The B1's shape complements the B17 perfectly and tucks away neatly under the saddle. It can be worn three ways: with the included shoulder strap, clasped to a belt, or secured to a saddle. and, also it fits a ULock perfectly in the bag.
Most of the hipsters I saw in the West end of London, wore it as a crossbody bag and it looked awesome. It easily holds a U lock, a phone, wallet. sunglasses etc. and as I mentioned is practically indestructible.

Unfortunately I had to return it with a heavy heart.
I just could not pull off the hipster look and as hard as I tried I could not a practical use for it. Your mileage may vary.

FWIW It comes with a brooks newsletter and a cotton dustbag.

There are some nice pictures here of different uses...

You cannot beat the price and the quality. If you know anything about cycling, then you know about Brooks England. The bag, at $249, is outrageous; at $100, it is a steal. Great quality, great name, great price and the bag works. What a deal. Highly recommnended.
