I’m sure he’d try and help. A fantastic artist and true gentleman, he really loves what he does! Carl’s help was invaluable and I’m so grateful to both of them.

My wife is happy to, as I’ve said we need a weekend away, so I can use the bag!

The gentleman who worked on your bag did a great, great job!

View attachment 11346 When all the posts about the SoF kit bags started I got one. And I really, really hankered for a cool painted bag, but having the artistic talent of a numb monkey wearing boxing gloves, I thought that was beyond my possibilities. Then the very kind Carl here introduced me to a gentleman of the highest artistic pedigree who has recently painted the bag. We’re awaiting some 1/2” stencils with which to apply my name and serial number to the tapes, but here’s where we are so far, and I couldn’t be more pleased!!!

Very nice, is that the smaller or larger of the bags?

Thank you. I think it’s the smaller “standard” size Steve

I’ve ordered some 1/2 inch name and serial number stencils from the US Carl, and I’ve also got some rather nice red lucite vintage dice zip pullers on the way I couldn’t resist...these things are very addictive.

Even my daughter has said I need to ale sure I always have a pack of vintage playing cards and a tin of sweet Georgia Brown kept in the bag....

I have a pair of red lucite on my A2 , which !! im wearing around the house at this moment in time to try and get it broken in a bit !!!
Luuurrrvvvvveeeee Sweet Georgia ! i also use Royal Crown !!

 

[stanier]

Yep, I’m a fan of Royal Crown too. The Johnny Cash grease.

I had a look at the ELC bags at the pop up shop and I thinj they’re a lot nicer in reality than on the ELC site. But the SOF bags are on a par with them.

 

[Carl]

I dont know what it is with the ELC example ?? just doesnt do it for me , maybe its with having several originals here , that im always comparing against ?? oh and the stupid price tag on ELC doesnt help either !!!

 

[Cocker]

Big fan of Royal Crown, Sweet Georgia Red, and Murray 50-50! Found out mid/light pomades are working best for me.

Oh well, back to the subject!
