I find them both a little high up the chest.
Perhaps I aspire more to being a gunslinger?

It is a little confusing - when I tired one on in the boutique the SA has
D to get help to be shown. You push the strap through the back of the pouch so the rings are at either end then it sits properly across your body and fits much like the SAD21. I will send a mod shot later when gone but here are a few pics with the strap attached and I put arrows on one of them to show how to fit the strap

I tend to wear my bags on my hip rather than higher -this is on the first ff 5 holes in the strap
Look big from the angle and I am a smaller guy - 26cm long vs 21 for the SAD21 so about 2 inches. The shape seems to hold a lot more stuff - especially a small umbrella which is useful. The shiny evergrain/everco ,or leather is also Perry water resistant and a wipe with a dry cloth works well. The shiny near grain less leather is more prone to scratching though I don’t mind a lived in look though so far mine has remained pretty scratch free. I saw it at Madison on display and for the first time online yesterday. Ay $5,300 also lower price than a lot of similar size leather pieces especially hpthose with a lock.
SAD21 compared to new Bolittle -
Both in Noir
Both in Noir
they are both interesting options
and the difference in size certainly raises the question of what do you want or need to carry
especially now phones can do almost everything if you trust them
there must be some law that states 'what is needed to be carried increases in direct proportion to the space available'

Yes LOL. Like air - "stuff" often expands to take up any available space whether absolutely needed or not 
In my case, I wear specialty contact lenses in both eyes that require a preservative free solution for insertion/removal that is only available in 2 size bottles - a big and a smaller size though even the small size is a tough fit into a very small bag like the SAD21. I have to keep the solution at ready reach all the time in case I need to remove the lenses if something gets into my eye or something splashes my eye. It's a pain but well worth it for the quality of my vision with the lenses as I am otherwise legally blind without contact lenses ... On the (thankfully for me) rare occasions that I have to wear a suit or otherwise very dressy clothing, I do my best to squeeze it into my SAD21 as I like the look of the smaller bag if I am wearing a suit or otherwise more formal wear (or hand carry one of my small Loewe bags that have a top handle.
The bolittle is a nice fit between the SA21 and the SAD29 for a crossbody narrow HMS bag and has no visible branding at all save for the subtle H design on the leather covered lock so definate "quiet luxury". The Steve Light Messenger junior is also a nice thin crossbody piece but definitely more casual (IMHO) with clear crossbody messenger design/vides. Ditto for the Evelyn - a more casual vide than the SAD.
I also think the Kelly Messenger PM is a good HMS men's bag in this category and i have one of them though it's trapezoidal shape and more than twice the width (approx 4 in at the bottom for the KM vs 1.9 for the SAD) do not wear as well (IMHO) with formal dress though I love the extra space you get in the trapezoid design and use it often. I could also say the same for the Lindy as a wider messenger style bag.
Just some rambling thoughts ....

Thank you so much. If you were in my neck of the woods, I would serve you guys homemade ice cream. Belt is Duret.@880
You should have started your post with Attention, please, it would be meant a new look book is available
(I didn't expect to see many pics and forgot to close my jaw and dropped a piece of chocolate ice-cream on my knee)
Silent chic.
And the brown croc belt, what made is it?
Gold Mini Evie; Gold/Gold 32mm belt kit; Pain D'epice/Rose Azalee/Bleu de Malte RooRoo
