Chain is heavy but not TOO heavy. If it were lighter and "hollower" it would feel cheap & I wouldn't like that. It's not nearly as heavy as the BV pouch chain tho, not even close. Not sure about the bag slouching, it might. I would imagine the powers that be in the bag insert world would be all over that tho if it's the case. I like my leathers a little slouchy - Hermes' clemence is my favorite leather, so that supple semi-structured yet buttery look is my mojo. Solid colors would likely look kind of cool this way, not so sure about the silver one. That might not look quite as passable droopy.
As a side note, and reminder, these are color combos coming for fall.....
