WORKERS Deluxe Pocket Tote Bag/ Dark Navy x Green Handle/Long

Deluxe Tote, third time. The changes this time are the handle mounting width and the outer pocket. The original deluxe tote is available in M and L sizes, The handle is narrower (no external pocket) for the M size and wider for the L size (with external pocket), which is different. This time, with an arrangement, the body is M size, and the handle mounting position and outer pocket are the original L size. It means the specifications were mixed. Along with that, we made two types of handlebars: short and long. If the original mounting width is narrow, no matter how long the handle is, it is difficult for the shoulder to fit. With the wider handle mounting width, the long size is now very easy to use. It's a bit plain from last time, but there's one change. The handle tape has changed from acrylic to cotton cloth (cotton rayon) power loom tape, thicker than ever before. I found the local producer (surprisingly, it's nearby) through the familiar 'search to search' I now have a clear understanding of parts I couldn't understand at the annex shop before. Even though we call it 'tape,' the texture changes significantly depending on the equipment and the different threads. Even if the affiliate shop is within the "same" range, the looms are actually different. This tape is the best I've ever had. The 'cotton sufu' abbreviation for 'staple fiber' is said to mean 'spun rayon' or 'short fiber rayon.' Size is width 34 / depth 16 / height 31. The so-called M size. The handle is about 30 cm for short and 60 cm for long style. The handle is sewn onto the tape with the same fabric as the bottom. This is also a two-needle sewing machine, folding the fabric on both sides while placing it in the middle of the tape. Equipment is a lifesaver! So, this time I went all the way to the factory in northern Kanto. Of course, it's made in Japan. After three visits, the president finally remembered my "face." The brand name is probably a bit vague. But Mr. M in production management liked the WORKERS bag so much that he bought it, so it's fine. This "being remembered by the factory" is surprisingly important. There are things that can't be fully covered in the specs—the stitching quality, the cleanliness of the finishing, and the roughness. If you don't judge, 'This kind of design will probably suit that person,' you won't be able to get a '!! this is it.' Fold and sew the edges of the fabric so that the sides are staggered. This forms the main body of the bag, allowing it to stand up even when nothing is inside. The main body is made of No. 4 canvas. Equivalent to 20.8 ounces per ounce. The bottom and the part where the tape rests are made of No. 11 canvas. Ounces equivalent: 12 ounces. It weighs about 600g. This time, the tote bag isn't exactly the same as the original, but rather a 'Japanese standard, approaching the original' Depending on the situation, I want to create something that even crosses the line." I think the stitching quality completely surpasses the original. As expected from a Japanese sewing factory. The fabric has beautiful textures. The tape is flexible and easy to hold. However, the original is the original, and the fabric and parts are rough and tough. The sewing is so rough that 'as long as it doesn't break.' That alone is a flavor. Different countries have different results. Please take a look at the differences.
