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!

Darn! I liked those colorblocked ones!
 
Received my 1941 pebbled leather saddlebag 24. Sadly, going back. Dimensions on site are incorrect & despite my SA & a chat specialist indicating this one had an exterior back pocket, it does not. Sooo sad but cannot justify $600 for a bag that is not what I had expected. Oh well...

I understand. That's the same reason I cancelled the order on the larger pebbled one...too small for the price.

Does the interior have cloth and suede or just suede?
 
Sad to hear the number of us being disappointed are growing. I personally had such high hopes. The quality is good & I do like the direction & styles but....gotta be perfect for the price.

Same dimensions as the glove tanned saddle 23?

Hi Anne -


I went into return my 23 and came out with the larger one! What is wrong with me! I had the larger saddle bag in the glove tanned and returned it because it seemed too large for me. But for some reason, with the pebbled leather, it just melted into me. Although I think the pricing is still high, I do believe (or am talking myself into) that you get MUCH more for your money with the larger one. At only $100 more, it's almost double the size when you add in the back pocket, etc. Sigh...ban has begun!

The size of the 23 never would've worked for me because I love larger bags. I bought the Outlaw, but if I hadn't I would've probably kept the saddle bag. I couldn't have both. I'll have my Outlaw on Monday. Are you going to take pictures of your new saddle bag? I'd love to see it.
