IH Messenger Bags (IHE-01, IHE-02, IHE-05, IHE-07)

simplistic and modern. Like it. No bells and whistles. I had a Belstaff 554 but it just had "to much going on" so I parted with it.

5 of each inbound.  Don't know the product number, don't know the price, but they should be here in about 10 days, and I have ordered rerun….

I like the plain version better but I'm tempted by the graphic one because I wanna try to wear off and see the evo of the graphic over time

[zwer]

I always go plain. Interested in the measurements, materials and am I safe to assume that there's not a black version winging its way to Gosport?

[summ3rhays]

I dig the graphic version.

Yes

IHE-01 was my extra bag on my holiday travels

Anyone else had problems with holes forming on these? Used mine maybe 15-20 times and have a hole appearing on a bottom corner! Any ideas about repairing it? Any chance of some Giles/Union loving?

[Peter]

ive used mine for like 3-4 years, cant really remember. there are a few holes here and there (at the bottom and inside, by the interior pocket), but they dont seem to "expand" cuz i cant remember having the bag without the holes..

[bertoni]

Thanks for the reply Peter. My hole seems to be forming because of the rigid strip on the inside of the bag. Bit pissed when I saw it. Would like to repair it just in case it gets worse really.

[Giles]

I used mine every dave for about 3 years.  I got a few small holes where yjer was a lot of rubbing.  I left them and they did not get much larger.  Please post a pic.

[bertoni]

I'll try and get one up when I have the time Giles. Reassuring that the holes don't tend to get bigger!

It's made of cotton. Expect holes and damage with use…

Anyone wash this? Mine is pretty much disgusting and I want to throw it in the wash, but am worried about the plastic quick release buckle getting smashed in the machine…

[Giles]

I think it should be OK. That is a super heavy duty buckle…..

[DougNg]

I've done it a bunch of times and it's fine

[scroogen]

^ Thanks for the reply G and Doug.  I use the hell out of this bag every day for the last … I dunno almost 4 years now I guess.  Don't mind the holes

We had an awful asshole of a cat that would piss on things that she knew was important to us. My IH messenger bag was one of them
