Here's my new Hermey bag that I just got in the mail today!!! Click on the thumbnails to view the full sized pictures. Sorry for the crappy webcam quality.

In the package it came with, a nice little note attached as well!

A closer picture of it laying on a nice red material (something like svelvet) that the bag was wrapped in. A lot more shiny in better lighting

.

The bag comes about the size of a broken in mini Abshire, and weighs around the same... just a tad bit heavier. It's really full! It was hard for my to find a spot to pinch some material. The stitching looks really good, no flaws that I could find. The consistancy in panel size is wonderfull as well. Looks like a great bag and I can't wait to break it in and start playing with it. I give this bag two thumbs up:

Here's the bag with the rest of the family:

Top row: Jansen sandbag, some shitty Shaggy Hack bag, and two Freedoms.
Middle row: Abshire (needs a wash!), Mini Abshire, Mini Abshire
Bottom row: J-bag, Hermey, Fred Touzale (spelling?)

ps - Thanks Pamela, that hosting site rocks!

BTW, is your shaggyhack bag like, plastic? It looks like that plastic that they use for doggy chew toys.....impossibly hard and great for stalling!

Chris Hanratty · Post by **Chris Hanratty** » 25 Jan 2005 18:20

Jericho, thanks for the correction... I'm not sure if that's what he calls his bags or not though. Haha, no it isn't plastic. Some sort of suede I think. It was really crappy so I cut 'er open and put my own mix of filler in it. I think it included beads from a stuffed animal I ripped open, and lead fishing weights lol. Fun to play "bullet" with at school with all of the circle kickers.

Yes Jim, I'd never get rid of that big beauty!!!

Well... nice collection you have there..

Lately it has been really difficult to find time to stitch at all. And may this be lesson for all those who are beginning to stitch, don´t keep too big breaks. Sometimes it´s good to keep some but don´t take it too long..
So here´s a warning example:

[PRESS IMAGE TO GET BIGGER PHOTO, FOR MODEM-USERS IT WILL TAKE TIME]

The blue-yellow is new. As allways, the hockey puck is there to confuse Mosher. The older bag to give somekind of size of little bit more broken in bag.

I´m a little bit disapointed myself to the new, there are some bad mistakes. You can´t see them all without having it in your hands..

Muahaha

Here is my current collection

And now for the one thing I can never sell: A reusable fire hack!

My lawyer warned that he would kick me in the nuts if I ever sold one of these. So unfortunately it purely personal for now.

Whacha think?

You can see the "after" version of it too. Its the brownish hack in the top pic. Its between the purple, turquoise, and right under the huge 3lb sucker I made.

I can attest to the quality of Lesh bags.

Sergey has brought some for me from Russia, they are really good. His stitching is great.

SergeyKozlov · Post by **SergeyKozlov** » 27 Jan 2005 10:08

It is pleasant to hear, that his bags are known not only in Russia.

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 27 Jan 2005 12:12

sweet bags all of you. The russian bag looks seet as well. It's also neat to see out of all the facile 32s, there's some chainmail bags that are here.

Thanks Chris. I t looks better in the picture than it does in real life, but it is still pretty good.
