Billingham wanna-buys!

[gazkw]

Hmm..... hope i fall in love with the khaki colour then else it will probably be boring black for me hahaha

khaki fresh and new is quite boring.

once you bring out and use it quite a bit, it will get dirty and seasoned... that's where the beauty of billingham will come in. it will become a bit darker, the leather a bit scuffed and uneven tone. i love that old school look.

in fact, this is a reason why many people don't like the new fibrenyte khaki. it doesn't exactly get seasoned so easily and maintains the same look despite 'abuse'. i guess its ok if you want it pristine. but many users like the seasoned look that khaki canvas will deliver.

black is boring... just like any lowepro or domke bag. only billingham (and perhaps fogg) has this signature khaki canvas seasoned look over time.

So does it mean we have to choose the material as well as the color?

Khaki Canvas, Khaki FibreNyte
Black Canvas, Black FibreNyte

Are the 4 combination available for Hadley Pro in SG?

 

[gazkw]

the distributor doesn't bring in all materials unless there is a special request i think.

it is usually canvas only.

Any idea how much does a Hadley Pro cost?
Interested in getting one.

hadley pro is good good good

but i think i may wanna get the 306.

Have both for sale, clearing my old stuff and others. All unused, just BBB and never use. :embrass:

 

[doremonx]

Wow...BBB and never use. BTW, what is the color of your Hadley Pro?

Sage is an excellent choice, Sinned79! I was pleasantly surprised that the FibreNyte is really softer and lighter than the regular canvas. Loving it already!

ok, i just contacted pk chan a few days ago... he told me to buy billingham bags from him before aug... cos after aug, he will be increasing the price by 8%! So those considering buying billingham (like myself), faster buy!

Eh sorry...who is this PK Chan?
I have been looking for billingham bags and so far only saw samples at Orient Photo (Sim Lim)
Where else can we view and buy the bags ah?
I think there are lovely and would make an extremely good replacement to my current Crumpler 5million.
I just dunno where to find. :cry:
