It's not just a bag

We’ve all watched those cooking reality shows where the winner's dish is always 'made with love' or 'a cherished Grandma’s recipe.' Well, if you apply that same sentiment to the bag industry, Jack Stillman would always be safe from elimination! In an era dominated by big corporations, it’s refreshing to support a family-run business that values tradition, offers bespoke design, and delivers exceptional quality.

I have been buying gear from Jack Stillman for a number of years now - they are always great to deal with and their products are always high quality. The nomad sling is no exception and I am looking forward to breaking it in on an upcoming oversas trip. It is always a pleasure to deal with real people in a small business, like the crew at Jack Stillman, rather than the soulless giant corporations that seem to dominate our lives these days.

Hey Jason, thank you so much for your kind words and continued support. We're glad you love the Nomad and our other products as well. We look forward to hearing about your trip - Safe travels!

What an excellent bag! Big but not bulky, just enough zips and pockets, walking or on the motor bike, this bag hangs comfortably close and does not swing around. Thank you Jack Stillman.

Hi Lloyd, we're thrilled to hear you love the Nomad sling bag! Thank you so much for leaving a review and for choosing Jack Stillman.

Fantastic sling bag it suits my life still perfectly 👌. I live in the heart of Alpine Victoria Harrietville Mt Hotham specifically. Four of the best of the four seasons in the country and I am actively involved in all four of them. The snow is my first love and Alpine skiing ⛷️ I exit my vehicle arriving from Harrietville to the mountain top. The sling bag design is made for skiing the internal pocket secures any paper work perfectly. As I coach the Masters ski club I have tactics to discuss and I need my note's. Inside is my water bottle and snacks and extra personal equipment. A perfect car key zip pocket on the side and an excellent rear zip pocket for my wallet. And being a sling bag slings around to my chest for riding the chair lifts. The bee's wax and zips resist all weather conditions in the mountains ⛰️ 👌 perfect. Thank you Jack Stillman!

Thank you so much Dean! Sounds like the Nomad is the perfect match for you and your job. Hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Great everyday bag

Impressed with quality and how much it can hold, like the zip compartments especially the small one on the outside for keys. The sling is adjustable to get the bag to sit where you like it too high or low. I have also used it for a boarding bag on the plane. Used as an all-purpose day trip bag too. Keen to try it on the motorbike. The dual closure system gives confidence of no one pick pocketing you or things falling out. Also, the feed back from questions I had on looking after the bag were helpful.

Off to an impressive start

Very good bag so far, presented the product to my seamstress mother, who could only find fault that the strap on the front that folds across does not feel as sturdy as it could be and may stretch and weaken with time. However this is not an essential or load-bearing strap. I have also made a small modigication, threading a key ring into the hem-lining at the top of the insude of the bag so I can hang my keys inside for easy access

The bag is fine but…..

I prefer not to buy products from companies who state how Australian they are but make their products overseas, but I do sometimes, even when they are a bit more expensive than I think they are worth. But I bought the bag, on sale, for $250, after some thought, with the deciding factor being that they had a shop locally to me in Fremantle, which they don’t anymore. So the bag is fine, the hardware is good. Buy, if it’s on sale and you want something a little different. I’ll say yes to recommending the product because I dont want to say no and there aren’t any other options.

Nomad Canvas Sling Bag.

Yes, I use it every day. Looking forward to letting it bed in some more and becoming more 'used' looking, as I am certain this will be my backpack of choice for years to come. So flexible for my purposes. I love it. Quality A1.

Thanks Sean! The Nomad was made for every day use and is sure to look better with time. Thanks again for reviewing.

Nomad Canvas Sling Bag - A happy Northern Territory customer!

The Jack Stillman Nomad Canvas Bag has been my 'daily driver' for a number of weeks now, and I'm completely satisfied with the product. After adjusting it for fit (I'm a bigger Aussie!), I found it very comfortable to wear, and soon discovered it to be a conversation starter! In my profession most people use briefcases or laptop bags, so when I arrive at work or visit clients, the bag is just another way of showing my individuality! Also, the chosen colour (Desert) certainly suits living and commuting in a remote part of the Northern Territory.

Sounds like a match made in heaven! We're happy that you're happy with the bag. Thanks so much, Bruce.

Stoked with my sling bag!

The sling bag is awesome. Tough construction with great design & beautiful detailing. Fits snuggly & I have already used it on numerous long rides on my bike. I look forward to the ordering the genuine T brace to make it complete… I have made a temporary one until then. Thanks.
