Handlebar bags similar to Acorn waxed canvas?

[Tully Lanter]

I'm in need of a small, preferably waxed canvas handlebar bag like the one Acorn makes.

Alas, they're out for 6 weeks or so.

Who else makes something similar? That combination of material + size and shape has eluded me...

Carradice Zippered Roll.  Any color you'd want, as long as you only would want black or green.  :)  https://www.carradice.co.uk/bags/saddle-packs-sqr-bags/originals-zipped-roll

Duluth Pack (bags and names may look familiar to previous Grant creations because they made them back in the day): https://www.duluthpack.com/collections/bike-bags

Note, I find none of these as good and effective at hearty waterproof bagging as the current Rivendell offerings. That Scottish fabric is amazing stuff.

With abandon,

Patrick

Thanks, both, for the suggestions. That's the first I've heard of Frost River in particular.

Patrick - that's great to know about waterproofing! I was eyeing a BagBoy for my commute--if I ever commute again ;)--and that may seal the deal.

Tully, I have one of the old Nigel Smythe bags that Rivendell sold. I think I put it on the bars (there is a mark you cans see on one of the leather strap patches) but didn't use it after bringing it home from Walnut Creek. About the same size as the Acorn, 12" long x 4.5" (or 5") in diameter; single zipper, brass rings on each end and a leather stem wear patch.

Say, $60 shipped?

Thanks,

David - I'll have to pass since I've found something else (a list member's own handiwork), but thank you for the offer. That looks like a great design.
