AN AUTHENTIC OLD-SCHOOL SATCHEL

One of Jack Stillman's original designs, the Solo is everything you'd expect and old fashioned satchel to be.

The hand-made nature of the Solo is evident the moment you touch it. The waxed canvas is a premium 16oz, and makes lesser canvas bags look cheap. 

Notable design advantages of the Solo are its pinch flap design that seals the interior off to the environment while granting instant access to your gear. 

At just 34cm wide at the base, the Solo Messenger Bag is a perfect size for men and women who want to carry their daily essentials. It’s the perfect size for motorcycles riders, commuters or day travellers who want to carry a few essentials and a small bottle of water. 

Looking on the back is another reason Jack Stillman bags set themselves apart from the fakes. Each bag is fitted with an enhanced cotton webbing and D-ring system on the back for a multitude of mounting options. This makes the Solo easier to attach to a motorcycle, bicycle, vehicle or wheelchair as a saddle bag and also more compatible with our T-Brace stabiliser.

The best camera bag I've owned!

I have been searching for the perfect light, compact, hard-wearing, heavy-duty, good looking, quality-made CAMERA messenger bag for, I dunno, 20 years? Then I saw the Solo Messenger in the Fremantle store and I knew it was it. It really is. Not only does it look amazing and legit, it is so well made and feels like it will outlive me. I got a quality padded camera insert online, which fitted perfectly, and easily houses my Fujifilm X-T4 with lens attached plus two other lenses and accessories. Check out the photos. It's a full bag but doesn't feel in any way precarious or over full. I wasn't sure about the open top (no zip) but with the buckle straps on the front it feels safe and secure whenever I am walking with the camera packed away. I added an optional Jack Stillman strap to the top (looks the same as the bag) to easily pick up the bag without having to use the shoulder strap. Seriously, I am in love with this bag hah. For a mirrorless setup like a Fuji or Nikon Z or whatever, it is perfect.

Handy as

Still using it, still getting used to it. The only improvement I’d like to see that the leather straps be made out of a little heavier leather and maybe the flip lid could have a backbone added to it along with a hand carry handle maybe. I might see a boot maker to see if they can help with the mods.otherwise hope to get many years from it. The wife is keen on looking at grabbing a couple of your poncho’s in due course so the discount offer is very much appreciated
