everything you wanted to know about straps but were afraid to ask

The Brief does fit comfortably over the shoulder and because of the shape there isn't any bulk at the top of the bag. Looks cute crook of the arm too and if you are 6 ft the bag will look great on u either way!

ahhhh. wow. do you happen to have comparison pics of before and after? that's really amazing...i love the low-hanging look! maybe i'll put some heavy books in my bag and walk around my apt with the shoulder strap on to stretch it...haha.......

I know this thread is old - but when I saw this pic DF took of me today I, for some reason, remembered and thought of this thread! When I saw this I was like "wow the strap has stretched SO much". My bag is 3 years old. When I first got it, like any new city, the shoulder strap was short and not visible when carried on the nook of the arm like so. Now it's always showing

could it have a city strap on it by mistake? ya know how sometimes attachments and inserts can get moved around in the store...

city straps aren't that long either. i can't wear it across my chest/body. i wish i could though!

Aww, I want a PT with GH!, but it just doesnt look right with my body. I think its too short. The City though, looks good on me. BUT I dont like the City with GH. I never tried the PT on my shoulder though, might work?

LivinLuxuriously, the leather on your city looks amazing! And I love the how the strap looks when it is broken in and stretched like yours.

Wow.......I had no idea they stretched that much! I was going to suggest that maybe she had attached an older longer strap to hers but after reading you guys posts it is clear that they do stretch

See, if you look at my pic and at the length of my strap - that city can absolutely fit across one's body. They just need to stretch. Again, that strap took 3 years to stretch like that

i always thought the fbf always had the longest strap for some odd reason and i guess i was right. thanks for posting that great comparison pic! enjoy your fbf..it's beautiful!

How does the FBF strap compare to the PT strap?

Isn't there different strap lengths for the 2003 First's?

^^Yes, firsts from s/s 03 have a 29" strap, but f/w 03 has the shorter strap (18.5")

Thanks Erica1451!

great thread, I thought my PT strap was an alien compared to my city straps, very informative.

Hi all!

Is the part time strap longer than the city strap? I couldn't find it in the measurement section. Also is it the same height as the city for sure?
