Hi all!
Attached is a mod shot photo of the smaller top handle Drifter in flax. Pardon the pjs! For reference, I am 5' 7" & 130 lbs. Although I am still unsure about the flax color. I will put my stuff in it & take & post a shot loaded up later.

Also, I WAS able to order the black by calling JAX! I got the confirmation & they said it should ship Monday. Thank you for suggesting this!

It looks great! This picture makes me imagine the size so much better. It doesn't look too small at all. I'm glad you were able to get the black one too. Now you can look at them side by side and make your decision.

Thanks for the mod shot. I saw the Oxblood multi IRL, which reminds me of the first generation Nomand Oxblood color.
I love this bag and would one satchel in Flax and Carryall (larger size) in black with dark matte hardware.
 
Hi all!
I purchased the smaller Drifter in flax last night. Never would have thought I would purchase a bag in that color but I loved it. This is the smaller "top handle" version which has an exterior back pocket that is secured by a magnet (not snap, just magnet). The interior fits a ton for a bag with a somewhat petite profile. The sides also secure with magnets and when you open and close the bag, they snap in and out of position perfectly without effort at all. It's a combination of the larger pebbled leather (which I'd say was on the most recent Ace), suede and glove tan leather. The main compartment is leather lined. There is a slip pocket under the front flap and that is fabric lined. There is also an interior zip that goes the length of the back of the bag. Its very sturdy and very well designed. Here are some photos. I think the color in the photos is pretty accurate. Any questions, let me know!

Lovely! Congrats!
 
Thanks all! Will wait & see the black & then decide...
In the meantime, here is a shot of my stuff in it. It holds a TON! I only carry a full size Brighton wallet, a full size (larger than my wallet) kisslock cosmetic bag, tissues, keys, work badge & phone. I'd probably put my phone & badge in the outside pocket. It could hold so much more...and this is the smaller one!
I will say that the hardware is substantial. I'm wondering how easy it will be to open & keep the flap open when shopping, etc (i.e. when checking out in a store). I think that if I get in & out if it while its still on my shoulder with the crossbody strap it will be easier. We'll see.
Will be interested to see other photos, opinions as others purchase.
Thanks again for the comments!
