Final decision not made yet, but so far it seems likely that it will end up in that neighborhood, yes.

Embag
Ec^2 or Emc^2 (for Empeg carrying case)

I'm partial to embag, myself...

It's such the running joke that I think we COULD call it that...

I forget what was supposed to happen if you did that. Was the DM supposed to make it explode, losing all your items, or something?

Some pics of the new embag for you all.

Bag is shown with a Mk1 player, but it will fit a Mk2 player equally well.

The padding pictured inside the bag is memory foam with a light blue suede covering it for durability.

Bag is shown with black plastic clasp, but a nickel-plated clasp is also available.

Bag is shown with only the single carrying handle. But for a small extra charge, it will have D-rings on the sides and include a detachable shoulder strap.

Susan is leaving town for a couple of weeks and won't be ready to start assembling bags until she gets back. So she won't be taking orders just yet. I'll post here with a link to the sale page for the bag when she's ready to start taking orders.

I like Six Demon Bag.

Quote:
Jack Burton: What's that?
Egg Shen: Six demon bag.
Jack Burton: A six demon bag. Sensational. What's in it Egg?
Egg Shen: Earth, wind, fire, all that kind of thing.

That's a yes from us too...

Light grey still sounds good smile
Doesn't need to be colour matched - as you say it'll be out of the car most of the time.

The other option is purple though... maybe not.

Nb 3rd version - shouldn't it be RioBag by now <grin>

I like Ec2 - plus it's easier to stitch an Ec2 logo in contrasting thread <hint>
Big lower case e (from empeg) small lowercase c and superscript 2?

Are you coming over for the 10th Tony?

Not coming over for the 10th, I'm afraid. Wish I could.

Light gray: Noted. I think that color *is* available from the leather supplier. The amount of extra charge needed to do a custom color hasn't yet been decided, hopefully that will be quoted on the web site when she's ready to take orders.

Stitched logo: No plans to do that, specifically. Can't, really, leather's too thick to do fine logo stitching. Something like this is more like what would have to be done. The only thing is, those custom leather-stamping dies aren't cheap, and I'm not certain there's enough quantity of possible orders here to justify the cost of the die. Anyway, I much prefer the bag to be clean without a logo, although I'm sure others might prefer the logo...

Mmm... a woodburning/soldering iron could also be used to add a logo -- a possible DIY task for bag owners!

That's actually exactly how they put logos on leather, with a heated metal stamp and a lot of pressure.

Leather doesn't really kick that hard, so that's not much of a worry.
