Timbuk2 is a fantastic company. They make pretty stellar bags, too.

Perhaps it was originally designed as a coin purse for Andre the Giant?
I'm about the same size so I may have to look into getting one of those...hmm.

I bought mine back in '01 and then you could call up and they would make tweaks
They were going to give me an extra 6\" in the strap but turned out after some careful measuring I didn't need one.
In any case, though, Timbuk2 is a great company. kudos to them
Bought a large one back in 2000 and a mini one (Pee Wee) a few years later. They're not real messenger bags, and hold large/heavy loads poorly, but they're very tough and reasonably stylish.
Too bad they're farming a lot of their work overseas.

I asked for that too, but they said it wasn't possible.
\"ZING! shiny new bag, customized to my liking. (Something Timbuk2 is very careful to say it cannot do, because they would be overwhelmed by nitpicking requests. But when they want to, they can spiff up a bag like that (sfx: finger snap))\"
Well so much for keeping that on the down-low.
