Just like the title says, I'm looking to boost my quaintness by replacing the JANDD bag with a Saddlesack XSmall. Preferably in a tan color, but if something of similar size + material pops up, I'd be keen. 

Thanks group, 
Andrew

While it's not the same boxy shape, Frost River makes many waxed canvas bags including this one for the saddle https://www.frostriver.com/echo-trail-seat-bag/. The video starting @2:52 shows the shape of it better. It's more of boxy shape with a slight taper, otherwise straight lines. Not curvy like a banana.

I'll definitely keep that company in my back pocket! Thanks for the tip. I actually found some old waxed duck canvas I had hoarded away so I made a quick n' dirty burrito roll held to the saddle rails with a toe strap so unless the ideal bag pops up, I'm covered. Cheers.

That Frost River is the original RBW Baggins Banana Bag, it's not comparable to the SaddleSack XSmall. A nice bag nevertheless, although once upon a time was a point of contention between Grant and Frost River because they designed it with/for Riv then started selling it themselves. I don't think anybody cares anymore, that company owner is no longer involved.

Andrew I have two olive Saddlesack XS.  One is the old style with clasps and the other has a zipper. I'd like $55 each + shipping.  If that's usurious let me know.

Both bags have been spoken for.
