Hi everyone, I am keen to get a Hadley Pro after reading all the comments but would like to check if the khaki bag gets stained easily by jeans?

Denims against lighter coloured fabrics = Murphy's law

It doesn't look that bad lah. It's at the back anyway so nobody will see it but you. I don't even notice it that much anymore.

Look for our FB page named Billingham Aficionados Group (B.A.G.). There you will find how to take good care of your Billy. We've worked in conjunction with Mr. Chan and carefully tested the methods to fit the Singapore environment. I think you will find it helpful. As for the jean stain, forget it. It's there to stay.

Hi guys, I am interested in the Hadley Pro. Just wanna check on the insert interior, is it something that will turn hairy like the Crumpler Million series? Because my 7 Million Crumpler interior is causing tiny fabric on my lens and it is a problem for me.

Please advise.

One of mine did get fuzzy but the other two didn't. I might have positioned the velcro too high that it always catches the flap whenever I open it.

But there aren't any loose particles floating around, fortunately. The hair seems to be 'intact' (if that's the proper word for it).

how to know the authentic one if your looking on b&s section? I saw one that for sale, BNIB. The picture of the bag was attached including the box. But when i went to peninsula store which sells Billingham bags also that the bag doesnt comes with a box and that those boxed ones are made in china and not on england. The salesman also added that those boxed one are fakes. Is it true? Just need your help guys for those who have billingham bags already. Thanks

Which shop gave u this misinformation? Tats untrue. billingham do have their own boxes in black with the bag in dust bag. There are tags sewn in the bag together with serial numbers.

Safrotto is known to make fakes, i would say look-alikes of nt just billinghams but also lowepros, domkes etc. And i know one shop in peninsula that sells tons of these copies.

"The Billingham bag with box comes from a Korean distributor. The box is not Billingham's own but comes as a packaging.

The Korean market packages their Billingham bags differently. Again, they could be parallel imported goods, or fakes even. Billingham-UK does not include boxes."
~ PK Chan


A good way to tell a fake bag is to look at the Mylar security strip under the Martin Billingham signature. You can email the code on the strip to Billingham UK and they can tell you if it is a genuine or fake product.
