Hello there! I have always always wanted a Trigger, and want to finally start ebay/bonanzle lurking to find one in the right color/good condition/good price.
I've tried doing a couple of searches on this forum, and would appreciate if someone could point me to a color reference thread, particularly for grays and browns.
I also noticed that there is a difference in strap drops: about how long ago did this start and how much of a difference is there?
TIA!
The Trigger is definitely an awesome bag!! I'm carrying mine now, in fact, and IA, it's an awesomely roomy and functional shoulder bag.
As for your questions, I'm not sure if there's a colour reference thread here... This subforum sadly doesn't get all that much action and isn't built up as well reference-wise, AFAIK. The Trigger is also an older bag (Botkier's first), so it has come in a variety of colours, and I'm not sure that there's one single catch-all resource for it out there. The link that
Cloud posted is one of the few guides that I know of out there for the older Triggers, so that's pretty helpful for those! But yeah, the Trigger was pretty widely faked, and some fakes still turn up on ebay/Bonanzle too, sadly, so do tread carefully...
As for the strap drops, I think those vary depending on the size. I don't know the dates associated with the sizes, but the Trigger comes in about three sizes, IIRC: small, medium and large. The medium is the one that is still currently (or more recently) being produced, and measures about 12" x 9" x 6", with a strap drop of 8". The large has a strap drop of about 9" or 10", I think, though I'm not sure of the dimensions (maybe 14" across?). The small measures about 10" across, but for that one, I'm not sure of the strap drop.
HTH!
