Tool wrap order placed. Thanks for the reminder when I saw this back on top of forum.

Lots of other cool stuff here -- shirts, 914 posters, etc. Very cool.

I ordered my bags right away, excited to have them for Amelia & Kiawah, ordering my hat and tool bag today-those will match the car, getting my bags in same pattern as my seats.

Phil, They are in production now. The black/grey tartan is one of my favorite colors. If I didn’t have red tartan seats, that’s the color I’d go with. They’ll be done in time for Amelia.

Could you make a black and yellow to match a Bumblee bee and a Cinnamon and orange to match a Creamsicle

Yes, we have talked about doing a “special edition” bag like that. Do you mean plaid? Because to stay with Porsche color/patterned cloth, there aren’t any of the standard 914 cloths that are perfect creamsickle and bumblebee-specific colors. We do have the yellow tartan/plaid. But it has a green strip in it from the factory.

Bags are shipping!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) man that orange houndstooth looks cool! I might have to get my next one and the tool kit holder in that to go with the car color, but I think my Black/grey tartan to match my seats will be very cool as well., any pictures of my black?( looking forward to the hat too)

Here is an update on the tartan/houndstooth products. Bags have been shipping this week. And we have a bunch in production as well. Like I mentioned before we made a few improvements to the final design before we began first production, upgrading the zipper to a high-quality zipper closure, and we improved the handles for strength and durability. I am really pleased with the final product. We have been honored by all of the orders we have received. We are also in the process of adding new cloths for 356s, as well as later model Porsche’s, and we have a few new products I think you will like. I will post more pictures of finished bags in different colors so you can see how different colors with black and saddle trim look.

An Orange/Black carry-on bag. The small bags are nice. Very cool. And the orange seriously pops.

Is there a tracking number available for our orders?

When someone receives their bag can you post back here on the overall quality of the bag? Most interested in the quality and durability of the zipper closures.

I received my bag yesterday. (Six weeks after I placed the order.)
This is my unsolicited, non compensated, unbiased review. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif)

Everything about this bag is top quality. (If I ever have Singer build me a 911,
I would immediately order a set of matching luggage from Redline Nine.)

My first impression was how soft and unstructured the bag is. It almost feels fluid, (but not at all flimsy.) I was also struck by how voluminous it is. It will require thoughtful packing to properly distribute the weight. The single zippered opening was ample access for stacking the clothes.

The craftsmanship of construction is worthy of the quality components.
The leather is buttery soft and supple. The light texture is pleasing.
The canvas material is very sturdy and will surely stand up to years of use without showing signs of wear. The simple lining is luxurious.
The zipper quality seems to match the rest of the product. I expected it to be durable. (I would hate for a $2 zipper to ruin a $200 bag.) The zipper only pulls one way. (Not double pull tabs like some bags.) The zipper hardware is gold while the 'D' rings are gunmetal? Strange but not distracting.

The leather handles are very sensual. The handles terminate at the bottom seam, and do not wrap around the bottom. (I think this design helps better support the mass with such a soft and flexible piece of luggage.) I tried a shoulder strap, and the contents wanted to shift and ball up in the center, if the bag was not fully loaded.

The bag fits well in either trunk/frunk of a Cayman or 914. (I expect it will work with all Porsche models.) I am looking forward to my next road trip to PCA Treffen and the Route 66 Classic, and being the envy of everyone in the parking lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/elvira.gif)

Great picture!

Thank you very much for your review. I truly appreciate your feedback, and am glad you are pleased with your bag. My apologies for it taking six weeks to get it to you. We apparently initially ran our supplier (who makes the cloth) out of cloth, and they had to make more. Also our system didn’t send you an email confirming your address and letting you know it would be shipped signature required when it was supposed to. So yours went out a few days after completion.

It is an interesting combination of softness and structure. That is due to the automotive-grade cloths. All of the leather is full grain, and we are using a European-style finish, that provides the buttery soft feel. It is a large bag. I am amazed at how much I can get into it. I find myself using our carry-on bag for weekend trips, if I am alone, and our large bag for longer trips and trips with my wife.

We went to great lengths to source very durable zippers. The d-rings are color matched to the color of the actual zipper, rather than the zipper pull. This was chosen so they don’t stand out too much on top of the bag, and blend in. We have worked on various designs with respect to the handles. It was decided not to have them wrap under the bag due to their thickness (automotive grade). If they wrapped under the bag, they would be a thick addition to the bottom. Also, the original Porsche bags that we modeled ours after did not wrap under the bag.

Thanks again for posting your review.

PS: Do you mind if I put the picture on our website?
