WORKERS Tool Bag, Medium-Long Hangle, Ecru x OD

WORKERS, a tool bag that has long been nostalgic for our longtime customers, is back after a long time. Main body is No. 4 canvas / approx. 23.5 oz, Bottom No. 6 canvas / approx. 19 oz Size: Width and bottom about 31 cm, height 30 cm, depth 18 cm. The width tapers upward, so the mouth can be up to about 40 centimeters. Handle length: Short 25 cm, Long 60 cm (shoulder strap length) On the outside, there is an outer pocket on one side. At first glance, it looks the same as the one I made before... but the fabric, factory, sewing thread, name, and tape are all different. The fabric is No. 4 canvas for the main body. Deliberately made without ears (selvedge). Previously, we were so obsessed with selvedge that it was so "only made at this weaving factory." In fact, the factory I first hired had already closed down. This time, the premise is that the fabric is not Selvedge but can be sourced stably. On top of that, We aimed for something more than just selvedge. The problem is the armpits. If you don't use a selvedge, you have to 'fold' or 'lock and sew.' Of course, folding and sewing looks cleaner, but the difficulty of sewing is on a whole different level. So, after searching and searching, I found a factory in the neighboring town of my father's hometown. The president there loves sewing machines and trumpets, and we got along well. Because of that, I feel comfortable ordering it. (Though the labor cost is quite high.) The folded side acts as a bone, allowing the bag to stand up even without any contents. As expected, totes are easier to use when they stand on their own. The bottom is size 6. Adding a connector in the center adds a design accent. Originally, the fabric was narrow, As expected, I intentionally kept a clever feature for using selvedge in the triangle (it's hard and tough!). Labor costs apply! That's what they say.) The sewing thread is thick polyester. The surface is coated to prevent twisting back. The name is the same as before at a glance. But in the past, printing was done on sheeting, and this time printing on coated fabric. The pattern stands out even more sharply. I searched for tape and found the manufacturer. When I went right away and heard about it, I found an extremely hard and thick tape called 'Cotton Cloth Power Loom Tape.' This same width of tape also comes from a power loom and a separate loom, with the power loom being especially thick. However, productivity is poor, and if there's no stock, you have to wait a lot. But wait, this tape is worth waiting for. We also place orders with more stock at WORKERS. (Currently, I am also working on black dyeing) Meeting a new factory feels different from before. We aimed for the highest quality we could make now.
