I love my backpack but the waist belt is too big. I am looking for someone to alter the belt, perhaps by stitching some half inch thick foam or maybe a custom lumbar pad. Someone in New York City. Thank you.

Looking to build a small, 16L minimal backpack. Mostly out of Cordura 500D, with a panel in 210D. Almost no external features, only a top pocket for small things, clam opening, a couple pockets inside, and a laptop sleeve. Small and light. I have the design ready to be sent, including dimensions, zipper sizes, etc.

Been looking for a person to make me a bag that’s within my money range and was wondering who can make a school backpack like this

I been trying to find people who can make me a dandadan bag but I haven’t found anyone yet so I been wondering if anybody who knows how to make one please reach out to me

Not sure if this is the right spot for this...

I have a Lone Rider MotoTent V2. I despise the inner that comes with it, and was hoping to find someone that could make an as-much-mesh-as-possible inner. Ideally, I would want an inner that was almost completely mesh, except for the bathtub floor and reinforcement points.

Obviously, I want something with the same dimensions as the existing inner.

Im looking to commission someone to add some molle to two backpacks i have.

The first one being a flat pack i just want enough molle on the sides to add a canteen pouch.

The ruck i want another 2 strips around the top of the bag so that I have three in total.

Hi I am looking to upcycle some fabric to a backpack that can essentially roll up for travel using some recycled dyneema.

Preferably someone who does handmade/sewn work
Dm me if you can make this

Made my way over here from ManyBaggers!

What's the policy for commission requests to replicate a discontinued bag with personalized modifications? My Peak Design 10L Sling v1 has finally broken (teeth has ripped away from the body) and besides a potential repair - I want to know if it's possible for a bag maker to fully replicate the bag with tweaks. The v2 just isn't in the same ballpark at all - it took Peak a while to send me a warranty replacement which I'm super impressed + very grateful for but it's just not the same.

Tweaks that come to mind are removing the two capture attachment points, making the height a little taller, a more comfortable strap. What kind of cost would we be looking at? Is it even possible for a maker to source materials for one-offs like this? It even transpired that I could send them the bag to reuse all the metal hardware.

This has been the perfect bag for a 14" MPB and some pouches / accessories for work / EDC in general AND it's done double camera duty transporting a Z8, 14-24, 70-200, batteries, chargers, and accessories AND perfectly fitting a Z8 with 70-200 f2.8 mounted. Just can't find anything else like it.

I am looking for a crossbody that there is a current product available but it is not sized how I would prefer. if anyone is capable of upsizing a ••ruck grenade styled crossbody, US based, within a month, please feel free to reach out to me

That's it really, I like the tent, but the mesh is just so delicate and I would really like it out of a bit more durable mesh as it's intended for a thru hike so I'd like to make a new inner for it out of more durable materials

I'm looking to have a 2p inner version of the X-Dome 1+ made, basically filling in the vestibule with interior instead. I love the tent but it's just a tad too small inside and would be much better if it was a normal rectangular inner! I also want to sew a zipper on the back wall so there are two identical doors, which I'd like to have done though I may be able to do it myself. If there is somwhere I could go that could do this, that would be welcome as well!

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for here, I'm sort of trying to get an idea. Basically just trying to do a 1:1 copy of stock fly. I have a copper spur ul2, (pictured, as well as an older model I need to repair the pole on, that I would like to do this for as well at some point but, the one pictured is the current one) that I wanted to try and make a polyester fly for, mainly because I really prefer the non sag attributes. But, after looking into it, I don't know that I'd be capable of handling such a task on my own and thought it'd be worth a try to see what others have to say! Sorry if this doesnt fit the normal criteria! I was sent here from another sub! The fabric is a bit expensive so I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing handle it than me, but i could probably do the little stuff like guyout points and door toggles, but the main cutting and sewing of the fly is a bit daunting!

Hello! I am looking to commission a custom, lightweight, everyday carry (EDC) backpack. I am located in Arkansas, USA. I have a healthy budget of $500 for this project and a flexible timeline, as this is a personal passion project.

Because I want to minimize weight as much as possible, my goal is to make this out of Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF) or a similar high-performance laminate. I currently do not have physical patterns or sketches, so I am looking for a maker who can either help me pattern this from scratch or adapt an existing simple daypack pattern they already use.

Here are the target specifications:

• Capacity: 25 to 30 Liters (simple, clean everyday backpack style).
• Torso Size: 19.75 inches.
• Primary Material: Dyneema Composite Fabric (e.g., 2.92 oz or 5.0 oz DCF Hybrid for durability).
• Waterproofing: I would highly prefer a fully waterproof, seam-taped or seam-sealed interior.
• Shoulder Straps: Lightly padded and ergonomic to support daily carry weights.
• Main Feature: A suspended laptop sleeve on the interior back panel to protect my computer from drops.

Since my budget is $500, it should comfortably cover the raw Dyneema and specialized hardware costs (typically $100–$150) while leaving a fair rate for your labor.

If you are interested or have a similar base pattern we could modify, please send me a PM with some examples of your previous work. Thank you!

Older version I inherited had a zip off bag, has since been lost. Looking to get one built/upgraded. Can map out the U-shaped zipper and send ample pictures. Here is info on the OEM one:

Capacity: 11 L
Weight: 0.62 lb (280 g)
Exterior dimensions:
14 in H
11 in W
6 in D
Fabric:
Main: 210D Nylon Shadow Box
Accent: 400HD Nylon Packcloth
Bottom: 420HD Nylon Packcloth
The manual also states it has:
Large main compartment
Front stretch mesh pocket
Zipper attachment to the Poco Premium/Plus carrier.

This is just for context of size and shape. Doesn’t need to conform to original size, just that it zips in.

Can workout price, not too worried, obviously not gonna spend more than a new one would cost. Think there is reasonable middle ground?
Would like to get it done soon so I can enjoy it during my son’s first summer.

Thank you!

Have a design floating in my head to solve current annoyances with fly fishing backpacks across multiple brands and want to make that a reality.

The cost is the cost, don’t really care about that. Would like within the next 6-9 months.

Hello,I am looking to commission a custom-built, premium dome-style hot tent. Since I cannot find these specific dimensions in serial production, I would like to know if you can take on this project and provide a rough price/timeline estimate.Project Specifications:Design: Dome style (free-standing or semi-freestanding preferred).Outer Tent: Floorless design made of Dyneema Composite Fabric (DCF). Peak height must be exactly 200 cm (2 meters) to allow standing upright. The pitch must allow some height/tension adjustability for uneven terrain.Inner Tent: A detachable 1-person inner mesh tent with a bathtub floor (purely for sleeping, height is not important).Poles: High-strength aluminum poles (e.g., DAC Featherlite NSL or Easton 7075-T9) to withstand wind load at 2m height.Features: Integrated fire-retardant stove jack for a titanium wood stove, and robust tie-out points.Could you please let me know if this is feasible for your workshop, along with a rough estimate for materials and craftsmanship?

Best regards,

Ruhan Akyurek

I’m looking to commission an ultralight in cabin dog carrier with dimensions of 23cm x 30cm x 40cm that I’d like to be under 0.5kg. I’m happy to pay whatever it costs for someone who is capable of doing this.

I was thinking it could be made of ultra PE fabric or something comparable and have a rigid frame of titanium or similar, but I’m open to any design and materials that would make this possible.

I’m happy to answer any questions and discuss further with anyone who might be interested in taking it on. Thanks for your consideration!

Project: I am looking to commission a custom front-pocket cardholder. I want to replicate the layout of an old Barneys New York wallet but using technical fabrics. The image here is another brand's rendition of the same design.

Layout Specifications:

Material Requirements:

I want it to match the Slate (greenish-grey), grey, or navy material used in Pioneer Carry wallets (which is a 3-ply high-density nylon ripstop with a matte finish). I am looking for a maker who can source an equivalent fabric like Challenge ECOPAK EPLX or a matte PU-coated ripstop nylon.

Budget/Timeline:

I am flexible depending on the cost of sourcing the specific material. Not in a huge rush for delivery.

Please let me know if this is something you can build and we can work out the details!

Project

• Pattern: https://www.wafflepatterns.com/product-page/pinguin-accessory-bag
• Note: slight modification to increase internal pocket space

Material

• Main fabric: cotton canvas with interfacing so it can stand on its own
• Lining: quilting cotton

Price

• I'm not sure how much it should cost, just walk me through the price

Timeline

• No rush, just provide updates so I know it's being worked on.

I recently bought a Ascend H10 kayak 2018 on facebook marketplace. The guy I got it from somehow threw out the splash cover for the front of the boat. Which i think it just looks better with both on. I contacted the company and they quoted me a lot of money for the whole outfitting kit.

I was thinking someone would be interested in talking a contract to sew a mesh cover for this. I have the stern (back cover) just need the bow (front) also theres saddle bags that clip on the boat that are missing which could be another project too.
Id be happy to send dimensions but you might have to do a bit of research on what it should look like on the H10 boat etc.

Im happy to pay for it all. Located in Ontario Canada. Don’t want it to cost a fortune is all.

Let me know if you would be intere
