I think the Domkes and Billinghams are supposed to look "distressed."
When you see a real "shooter" who usually has one of these bags they
look like old functional bags that wouldn't have anything particularly
expensive in them. That is intentional and why people like them. Its
less of the tourist look of the padded more formed bags that I am guilty
of liking as I like the Lowe-Pro. Not that I'm not a real shooter. I
like to turna corner before i come to it and not have my cameras clatter.
