There have been a lot of questions about the size of the new 228 re-issue, so I asked my dh if we could post pics of my Christmas and birthday gift--a 228--which isn't really mine yet! He agreed--sweet man that he is!

Here they are--I'm 5'4. The 226 re-issue is the 2005 anniversary edition, and the 228 is the new version. I love them both! When I first saw the 228, I thought it was really huge, and it kind of is, but it's a "day bag" size. I can't wait until Christmas! 56 more days...:sad:

Yikes--I just noticed there's dog hair on the floor! :shame: I guess that's just part of life at our house!

I love...:heart:...love both of your reissues!!! I am so glad that you posted a modeling pic with your 228, and it looks gorgeous, and perfect on you. Hum...seems like I am the same size as you...so I guess my 228 will look okay on me too...lol. :shame:Mine hasn't go anywhere with me yet cuz I worry that it might look a bit too big for me. After seeing your pic, I guess I need to take mine out for a ride one day...loving it toooo much.:love:
 
thanks for the pics! you look great too! I've been wondering what the 228 would be like... i have the 226 which i find way too small for my everyday needs, so the 228 looks perfect for me! now if only I could find the money for a 228 Metallic black!
