^ Ronda, it is supposed to be all wrinkly and smushy like that - it is part of the look. I personally find these '03 linen bags soo cool, they have the most awesome texture and appearance that really compliments the motorcycle style, and in my opinion it is the coolest version of the non-leather bags. I also think the patent adds an amazing edge (especially since patent is ridiculously hot for S/S '07!) and surprisingly (in my experience) they are pretty durable and easy to wear!
