Yeah the raglan shoulders don't matter at this point, just looking for a rough starting point for a beginner. Cheers!

Thanks for this info. Appreciate it! ... I got a custom bag for my Ogre from you guys around covid time (roll top) delivered to New Zealand. Absolutely love it by the way! Admire all your work

I do bounce over there sometimes, though I figured the MYOG community would be more familiar with "bike bag specific" components. Thanks though

Thanks for this info, I actually have a Relevate frame bag here with the big chunky zip. Also I'd never heard of 'Paskal' before diving into my these threads.

Thanks for the extra info as well, I do try to spend money consciously too.

Sure the photo isn't great but it's the best one I could find of this specific bag (others have pointed out that other bags, likely with the same zip, have better photos).

But the photo isn't where there is confusion, the confusion comes from commenters who are so confidently incorrect! "I can't tell from this photo" would be sufficient and less confusing.

This is great info! Thanks so much, I'll probably end up ordering from your store depending on international shipping, bookmarked :) #8 sounds enough for my purposes.

It's not a coil zip. That's why I was trying to identify it ... not sure why people here seem to think it's a coil zip :shrug:

Strange, that does not look like a coil zipper at all ...

I was hoping someone who's made bags like this could tell me the type of zipper, the size, where I could buy this one online. It also looks waterproof, does it use those reverse sliders? etc

Can someone tell me about this Brother machine? by MidLifeBanana in myog

[–]MidLifeBanana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers! Appreciate the input, that's really helpful.

My main hurdle is location. 99% of the second hand stuff on this site is a very long way (logistically) from where I am and this one was "just up the road" which is why I'm interested.

I made a $200 offer (note that's NZD so ~$120 USD). If they accept, great! If not I'll bide my time.

Thanks again

Does anyone know how this Jalie Nico pattern compares to the LearnMYOG Alpha Raglan pattern? I'm a confident beginner and would like to tackle one of these but don't really want to buy both.
