Unlike C4C, the flap isn't an issue for me. The strap, when adjusted to a length I like, it leaves too much extra strap hanging down on the sides. I HATE the way that looks. In order to eliminate the extra, the bag hangs too low and I HATE that too. When doubled, it's a little too short but I don't hate it.

I may have accidentally found a way to wear it with the strap doubled but longer. Instead of actually having the strap doubled on my shoulder, I let the bottom part of the strap go across the top of the bag UNDER the flap. I know it sounds confusing but hopefully the pics show what I'm trying to say.

Too long/too much excess strap but I like where it lays

I think this style is really designed to wear cross-body. Usually I like to let my bag hang straight from my shoulder, but with the saddle I think it actually feels good to wear diagonally. Otherwise I would have returned it-I'm rather petite so the long strap reaching down would look ridiculous on me. Really want to get another pink one in 35 if Coach restocks these!
 
No problem! It's on the Coach site now & I got my order confirmation. Style # is 38280. Mine, weather permitting, will be delivered tomorrow. Nervous excitement as it looks gorgeous but its too expensive to keep if its not true love! Questioning size...SA gave me one set of dimensions & the site says different (bigger). I'm hoping the site details are true.
 
Did they sell out of the Saddle Bag 35 or is the quantity too low to put on Coach.com? I thought those would be added today.

Not sure, but I got a peek when I visited the store on Saturday. There were only 5 colors available, and the most they had of any was 17. One or two had only 2 or 3 left...I wanted the pink one, so I asked the SA whether they're available; she said they sold out quickly when they were released back in the fall. So in short, I guess they're not putting out any 35's...even the colorblocked ones from Spring 2016, with the python handles are possibly not getting made as well. In the handbook, those bags were just shown as "not available", no price or any information on the dimensions, nothing. Really disappointing to tell the truth-hoping the pink will come back in stock, otherwise if I had known I would have gotten it back when they debuted. Pooh!

Thanks for your response. I was really wondering what happened to the 35.
