I actually took my shoulder strap out and attached it on my PT yesterday evening too.. wanting to use it w/ the shoulder strap. My strap doesn't hang as low as hers.. but with constant use I'm sure it'll hang just as low. I have mine tucked away & detached from my bag most of the time.. so the strap is somewhat brand new still. It barely passes the bottom of the bag when I put it on. So I think constant use of the shoulder strap, it'll make it stretch and soften just like what the others have said.
Are you able to use it with the shoulder strap? Because it makes my bag sag in an awkward way, I’m also concerned that the bag being soft.. it’ll stretch and pull the sides up… so I end not using the longer shoulder strap.

mine actually looks exactly like the pics posted in the clubhouse...it does hang below but barely...looks kinda awkward to me, like im forcing it...

that's exactly the case w/me! i think the bag is so broken in at this point that it's super soft...so if i use the strap, it pulls the two sides up and the middle almost just collapses into itself and sags like crazy. damn, should've used the shoulder strap to begin with so they both break in at the same rate!

hMmm.... true true.. darn. Because at this point it would look only right if I wore it cross body with thin shirt or cardigan & not a thick sweater or coat. SO, I made the conclusion I should only wear the PT during the spring, summer, and fall over the shoulders.
ush: Because having it hang from the crook of your arm hurts after awhile. 
Not only does it sag, but it's also an akward length when worn by the long strap over the shoulder... kind of bounces out as you wear it. I'm too chesty for cross body, but the handles are still long enough for me to wear year round. By the way, my strap is a little longer than Craker's pics because it's a little more worn in.
could it have a city strap on it by mistake? ya know how sometimes attachments and inserts can get moved around in the store...
I'm looking forward to being able to wear my city in the cross-body style! I'll use the strap more often now!
i could be wrong.. that's the only pic that shows the bales..
bales? what are bales?
i just loaded my bag full of books and it's hanging by the strap on the back of my chair as we speak....hoping it'll stretch a little by little!

Can somebody please post a picture of their straps for Pre-Spring 2005 City and Spring 2005 City? i.e. skyblue, teal, dolma (pre-spring) and turq, magenta or apple green for spring? Pleeease? and measure just the leather portion? 
Thanks a bunch

I am throwing this question out in every possibly applicable thread and I am checking everything pertinent: What is the comfort factor of the GH Brief worn over the shoulder? The handle drop seems so little and most of the pics here show gals wearing it on the crook of their arms. I would definitely want it as a shoulder bag but as I am six feet tall, I am hesitant to 'go there' without some info. And yes - the smartest thing would be to try some on. Difficult when there aren't any bbags nearby.
