Default Solo Bag (AKA Swingarm Bag)

I found this one bag that I really like because of the latch. It's made by Garage Leathers and it happens to be the most expensive bag I've found.

Any comments on this bag? I don't want to pay too much for a nice latch and crappy bag.

Ive been eyein that same bag and latch. And from what I've heard Garage Leathers makes some quality stuff...

At the same time, Shaun at Sokustom makes some quality solo bags too (so I've read), and at a significantly lower price.

I've been curious if he'd be able to make a bag with the same latch and what the cost would be over his normal solo bag price, but I just haven't gotten around to emailing him.

Good idea, I'll shoot him an email and see if he can do that latch.

From what I've read in these forums the SOK bags are good and people like his service.

I have that exact bag from Gargage Leathers and love it. It could be a touch bigger, but other than that i love it. Good quality leather and workmanship. I would buy it again in a hearbeat, no questions asked. They even give you a small tin of leather conditioner when you buy one of their bags. They ship pretty quick too. Hope this help, just my .02
