Reclaimed material details from the luggage packer. The random seams, grommets and stitch holes proudly show that this material is on it's second life. 

The canvas like material was once a cover for an office copier, the mesh was from a second hand store, even the red trim was from scrap from a school project and the red webbing was scrap from REI Ann Arbor.

Tail Holder for the T.A.D. Lightspeed and EDC packs. These doo-dads hold the tail up, add a bit of reflectivity and are made out of majority reclaimed materials, 1.5" webbing from an old sailor, reflective vinyl from a discarded men working sign, new velcro, and thread. This accessory keeps the bag operating more smoothly by keeping the tail in place when un-clipped, and keeps the bag more tidy even when it is. I've never taken mine off. 

Making velcro reflector patches out of a "Men at Work" sign that I found one rainy night on a gravel street in Red Hook. It was being ground into the gravel by 18 wheelers and it was a sopping muddy mess when I shoved it into my Mission Workshop Rambler, holding back a smile. After a few washings in the shower and drying in the hallway it was finally clean enough to bring inside and begin cutting up.
