Jinkies. A Top Gear endorsement would sure put me off a product.

This is the sort of thing that I mean. The Chapman bags are excellent but they do many more colours than khaki. The one I currently have is a nice faded olive.
It is not that I do not like the ex Top Gear presenters but I would be concerned that others may think I was watching Top Gear for style advice.

don't you guys worry to deform one side of your leather jacket's shoulder carrying this bag? or do you consciously change shoulder where you wear the bag on?

I would hate to be seen trying to be like some British "upper class" types or the execrable Top Gear program.
These are pretty much just hunting bags which were also then used on a Safari (more hunting and traveling). It just happened to be that hunting or Safaris were the privilege of idle classes back in the day. Not the case any longer, but as with anything here, the traditions remain and are copied.
I know all that. What I was rejecting was the implication that unlike Top Gear presenters the so called upper classes were OK role models.
Bravo, quite so. I think the hunting debate (one best left alone) is always murkied too when it goes transatlantic. Hunting in the US is a whole different ballgame from hunting in the UK, where 'riding out with the hunt' is almost more of a political than a recreational activity.
As to jackets.... I honestly wouldn't care if one shoulder developed a patina patch that was different from the other. Trying to make it wear symmetrically would just look artificial. I do tend to wear a small shoulderbag's strap underneath my jacket, Indy style, if I'm going to be carrying it all day, but not out of any notion of preventing wear on the jacket.
