Handles of 07 Work - are they longer than before?

[zacorey]

Thanks for the report!!!!!! No more wondering!

I really wish the classic motorcycle styles like the city and work were just slightly bigger so they could fit better on the shoulder.

Wow...surprising...the handles look quite a bit longer to me in this Cultstatus photo that was posted ...

fiatflux... thanks for the pic!
it sure looks very longer than 06 though! but maybe because the leather's so slouchy?

Sngo - Where did you see the 07 Works with the regular hardware? Also, what colors were available? Thanks for reporting on the handle length!

I saw them at Susan in Burlingame, CA. They had a natural work that I was comparing to several GH works. They also had several 06 works - blue india was TDF! I didn't linger too long b/c the obnoxious SA was annoying me too much.

fiatflux - wow, thanks for posting that photo. I think that the wider handles do make quite a bit of difference. The slouchy, smooshy leather as well! When I compared teh bags side by side, they were fully stuffed - so I couldn't tell how really slouchy they could be!

wow, it looks like i could fit my head through those handles! i like that, wish they were all like that. though, i have to say, putting a few heavy books in your bag and leting it hang overnight buthe handles stretches them quickly. i did that a few days ago with my city and sure enough they're a bit longer!

 

[hellosunshine]

wow, love the longer handle!

I've read that the Weekender handles have been lengthened for the Spring '07 season. Is this also true for the Work handles?

I'm asking about the Work w/regular hardware, not the new giant hardware.

I own the French Blue Work from the SS 07 Collection and I don't notice any difference in the handle length at all.

 

[fiatflux]

Oh, fiddlesticks. Hope springs eternal...

 

[spay_and_neuter]

Unfortunately, no difference that I can tell. You'd think Bal could give us an inch or two.

I heard the Work w/the GH has longer handles~ not the reg hardware works!
