breaking in bags before sale
Really? When I am finishing off my bags, i fill it completely full with poly pellets and i finger roll for 10 minutes which breaks it in completely, then pour it out and put my filler in which takes about 5 minutes.Cod wrote:Well, maybe not 15 minutes bot for sure not as long to be not worthy.johnl583 wrote:If you break in the bags how cod does, then it only take an extra 15 minutes.

Not the idea, only your posts daveepoo!david wrote:Do you think this idea is stupid?
It'd be sweet to be able to choose 'broken in or not' on an oreder form or pm. The best/longest-lived bags I've ever owned were like rocks when I got em, and I still seek those type bags out today.
Some colors break-in fast and for some I need a little more time. Plus, you probably have got good tube and I haven'tjohnl583 wrote:Really?

About breaking-in bag and selling. If someone wants unbroken bag from me it's no problem but I realized most people who bought Dorshbags recently wanted the broken one. Actually, since I started breaking-in bags before selling every person has wanted nice, soft and shredable bag and not a rock

Every bag I sell is broken in by hand a little bit. I want my bags to be very shreddable when people first kick them, but then after the customer break-in they get super-choice. IMO if I bought a bag I'd want to be able to shred it right away.

The templates I'm using now (ever since mid-September '06 and on) result in bags that require little break-in to reach their full potential. Other factors, such as facile aspects, gather, filler amount/weight, overall bag density, etc. have already been taken into account whenever I stitch my bags, to make the break-in of those bags easier in the long run. I always reason with interested buyers and/or those who want to trade what they want from me, visa versa.
Maybe I'll use the "prebreak-in" option into account during these talks, but I don't know. I'm not a big fan of it myself, and I always give a small bit of hand kneading after finishing every bag I make. It's difficult to put a value on it since I do it unintentionally.
