My new/recycled Acorn Bags arrived over the weekend, and they were waiting for me when I got to work.

Per my request they made me one each of their "Large Saddlebag" and their "Handlebar bag" (there was more than enough fabric from the golf bag cover to do that). I let them keep the excess fabric to play with.
I got a percentage off the price (15% doesn't seem like a ton in exchange for the fabric but hey, they still supplied all the notions and MADE the things). They were happy to work with me and excited to make a set of their bags "semi-custom" from repurposed fabric.

Being used fabric, it's not nearly as stiff as new fabric would be, but with an application of proofing wax it should repel the rain just fine.

I guess this makes me a "bag-matcher" now...










And just to prove that this was a found object whose fabric had been repurposed, I asked them to make sure the logo showed up somewhere. They refused to let it show on the outside but obliged me by having it appear inside the main body of the rear bag:





By the way, if you want to know more, they've FINALLY got their own website:
