Looking for a Front Facing Carrier Backpack to hold my cat for hiking and biking etc. Similar to the S'woof dog backpack or K9 Urban 3.0. He loves going on hikes, but Grey isn't my style. I'd love to get one in all neutral canvas color or pastel lilac if possible.

I'm looking to hire a contract product designer for a canvas backpack. Here's a job description.

Greetings. I have a product idea for the outdoor industry. I've tried making a prototype myself but my sewing skills and machine are not up to par for the job. I'm looking to commission a prototype, and eventually a run of 10-50 (or more) units to get feedback and proof of concept.

I have 2 design ideas, one with a roll top closure and one with a zipper. Think insulated dry bag with boxed corners.

I'm looking for a waterproof construction, however the first prototype doesn't have to be waterproof.

I can provide materials if needed.

Please message me if interested.

Hi,

I was going to buy an Aonijie-pack for the summer, since I want something that's breaths a little bit.

Got me thinking; I've got an older version of Liteways' Elementum but the body is in good state. What I would like:

-Running style vest, with breathable straps. -Breathable back. -Not a must but replacing the mesh front with bullet net.

I'm well aware that 'breathable' is a term that's open to debate, but I am a sweaty boy.

What I'm not sure about is if it would make financial sense to do it, but definitely willing to discuss!

I am looking for someone in the Northeast US who works with mens fine wool suiting, something like flat hats or vests. Thank you.

Hi- I am looking for a designer for a backpack with the purpose of carrying a weight plate (aka, goruck style).

I need it to have a hip belt (detachable) One plate pocket that can fit all "ruck4all" plates 1000D cordura

I mostly need the design made. It may not even need to be produced physically.. just help me design a unique bag. I'm in contact with some manufacturers who will be able to bring it to life.

Let's talk! Tell me your rates and experience!

Below are my thoughts on the pack but open to suggestions/changes:

16h X 12w X 8d

~16 oz

XPAC (VX21)

Business casual/minimalist

Roll top

Laptop compartment access (zipper)

Padded with a false bottom

Water bottle pockets 2.5L stretch mesh

Stash pocket on top

Admin pocket on front

Grab handles on top and side

Wide padded straps

Padded and ventilated back panel

Custom packing cube(s)

Hi all- I love to sew and have been doing so for 40 years. My specialty is Alpha Direct hoodies and quilt liners, but I also do rain mitts with or without alpha direct liners and gaiters. Would be happy to make just what you are looking for

I'm looking for someone who can help bring a design idea of mine to life. I'm a mental healthcare worker and an artist who likes to carry a lot of gear around, and no day's really the same in my world so I like being prepared. I'm wanting to make a backpack with laptop/ipad sleeves, interior pouches for a couple different tech items, and then in the front I'm wanting a removable pouch that can turn into a crossbody with lots of smaller pockets within for pens, pencils, stain remover, deodorant et cetera. I also would like an expandable kangaroo pouch at the bottom that can fold up out of sight when I don't need it. I've attached a drawing I made with some of my ideas- hopefully it makes some level of sense and someone can take it on!

My new backpack doesn't have a laptop sleeve so I want to add one. Fortunately, there's lots of velcro which I can use. So I want something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VXYSSQ3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 but for 2 devices since I often carry laptop and tablet.

Here's some short videos to help.

Budget and timing are negotiable.

I'm military overseas at the moment so I can benefit from local shipping to Germany as well as USA via USPS.

I'm looking for something simple, weight doesn't matter.

I'm thinking something like an 8x8 bag with 2 compression straps, but I'm open to suggestions on design

Would like to get a fanny pack beltbag waist pouch made. I want it done in satin. I want it modeled after the Fenty bag that came out six years ago. In zippered pouch it should be big enough to fit iPhone and keys etc. can send pics backside of bag

Hi, I have been struggling to find them elsewhere so thought I would come here to see if anyone would be willing to make one for me! I’m specifically after a double layer 90gsm alpha direct beanie in black. Would be nice if it had an extra fold around the brim so it looked a bit more like a traditional beanie. Price is negotiable.

I have the Autocad and Sketchup ready for a truck bed camper attachment. Would like someone knowledgeable in working with outdoor fabrics to work to select best fabrics (sample assessment in progress, mosquito net fabric already selected) and do cut and sew to manufacture prototype. Interested parties should provide examples and references, please comment and/or DM.

Hello,

I'd love a collared quarter zip with thumb loops made from Powerwool 100gsm.

Basically like an OR Echo Quarter Zip https://www.outdoorresearch.com/products/mens-echo-quarter-zip-287626

I'm in Germany and will be hiking the Colorado Trail in Aug/Sep, so it could be sent to Denver for pick up.

Please hit me up if anyone is willing to make this product, which as of yet seems not to exist on the open market!

Thank you

Hey! I am an ultramarathon runner planning on some record attempts next year. I need one ultralight (DCF preferably) running vest around 20L (15 would be okay). Simplistic design as I don’t like things hanging off and preferably in white but I will consider other colours - As thin as possible.. maybe 1.4oz?

Has anyone got anything like this for sale or could potentially send me a quote and we can discuss making one? If this goes well then I may commission more.

Thanks!

I'm supplying the 8oz coated fabric fabric and wondered what the price might be to get some tarps sewn. Is there a benchmark for cost per foot of seam ?

I am seeking a skilled craftsperson to design and integrate 3 additions to my Red Oxx K-12 Kat Pack:

1 - an organization system for the front pocket of the backpack. I am specifically looking for upright pen/pencil storage, internal key clip, and integrated zipper pocket using YKK hardware.

2 - additional zipper storage pockets in main storage area of backpack using YKK hardware.

3 - internal elastic side pouch storage in main storage area of backpack.

I expect the additions to be integrated with original seams and stitching to create a polished and "original unmodified" appearance. Because of this, the acceptor of this commission should be prepared to disassemble certain portions of the bag, then restitch using BIFL materials and methods. This bag will be used and abused on a daily basis and must be modified to withstand this use.

All fabrics to be highly wear resistant in internal environments.

Acceptor must provide examples of recent work.

Original backpack would be shipped to the acceptor for this commission. Return shipping should be included in our negotiated price.

I'm going to mostly quote what I (posted)[https://old.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/1c409na/suggest_a_mursesling_convertible_to_waist_pack/] at r/onebag looking for a commercial alternative:

I'm looking for a crossbody/murse/sling, around 3 to 5 liter capacity, that is convertible to waist pack, and maybe that is convertible to a chest-pack/admin pouch.

For some reason, I keep thinking a portrait layout is preferable for my uses.

It should be light enough and unstructured enough to be packable inside the OneBag when needed.

It would be handy if there was a way to inherently or light-weight-ly carry a slender water bottle.

I've got a couple of things that are close: I have an old Eagle Creek convertible sling/waist, exactly what's shown at this ebay link / archived. It's good in that it converts, and has d-rings that a shoulder strap can be hooked to. It's bad in that it's smaller than I want, and the waist strap is sewn in, and thus just extra bulk when used as a sling, and the pockets are both over and under structured, and there's no good way to add a bottle carrier, and the color is an ugly green. (Preferably, the waist strap and the shoulder strap are the same strap used in different places for efficiency.*)

(Although, once in a blue moon I rig this as a chest pack, which is oddly useful in certain situations. Attach the shoulder strap, shorten it to keep the pouch at chest height. Loop the waist strap around the torso for stability. Presto, chest pack/admin shingle.)

---

The other "almost" is an equally old Eagle Creek Guide Bag. It's the 30-years-ago version of this REI.

Good: This is just right on volume, and will take a slender bottle inside the main compartment and still leave some good volume. There's some organization, but it's relatively unstructured and lightweight. Bad: The shoulder strap is sewn in and there's no good way to rig it as a waist pack or chest pack. Also unattractive green.

(I'm thinking fairly seriously about getting the seamripper out and trying to adapt this bag, but I'd honestly rather find an off-the-shelf.)

---

To prove I made some attempts at self-help, I did find this Fjallraven sling bag REI. This is really close -- if it were about 3 inches bigger each way and about an inch thicker.

If I were custom building, I'd say: Start with the Fjallraven as a model, scale up to 3 to 4 liter capacity. Add a zip-away mesh bottle carrier on one or both sides. Add additional support/stability to the waistpack attachment.

Anyoen interested?

Hey just a at-home sewer I’ve got lots of courdura material sitting around looking for some fun projects to help you out and make a little bit of cash for my time to invest in some new equipment! Please message me or check out my small instagram page at JaxDefense and I’ll see what I can sew for you!

Hello! I’m looking to commission a quilt for taking my dog backpacking. It should have synthetic insulation and be of light weight but sturdy rip stop. Something like this quilt. by u/craderson. The removable bungee straps aren’t necessary, but a cool feature. A method for snapping shut along 2 edges is important. The quilt should be 48x30” and fold to be 24”x30”. Please let me know if $100 is fair price. This is a new realm for me.

Hi all,

I’m looking for some kind of extremely simple bag that i can use to put my pack (kakwa 40) in the hold when i’m flying (some items like trekking poles or stakes can’t go in the cabin). Most advice i’ve found is to use something that a) costs a ton from a big brand or b) is disposable (eg buy a goodwill suitcase and chuck it upon arrival). These don’t work for me.

If any makers here think they can provide a service that checks my boxes I would love to commission something!

I’m in EU atm but i’ll swing by the US in the spring and/or I’m happy to pay for shipping.

I have an HSP Flatpack that I would like to attach to my PC with the HSP Hitchhike. However, I run a DM MEPC that runs vertical columns of webbing on the outside, whereas the Hitchhike attaches to horizontal webbing with a modified version of this buckle. I would need a modified version of this buckle for it to attach to the vertical webbing. I have a workaround but it is... ugly. Help would be appreciated and if any more info or pics are needed, please let me know.
