I've done this trick with my aviator helmet bags and they sit on my shoulder just fine once that thingy is removed.
hahahaha! I hate the Thingy but didn't know if it was "acceptable" to remove it! Thanks for this thread!Ok, it's official now: it's called the Thingy!
In the celebrity thread there's a pic of Nicole R. doing exactly that: sliding the shoulder thingy down the strap so it's not sitting on the shoulder.
Yay! That's great news! I've been hoping to start hearing back from people to see if the thingy removal is working for them.well i removed my thingy before i went to work this morning - wearing my Black City today... and yup found it much better!!! No slipping!!! Just like a normal shoulder strap now! I think tonight I'll take the thingy off all my other b-bags...
