    actually i was just over in Switzerland and there was a company that used old truck tarps to create super durable backpacks. I figured it would be an interesting project to create my own because the bags are around 400$ each. I’m looking for weathered and somewhat colorful tarps.

    If anything i’m hoping to start my own business in a mountain town eventually and at the moment there is nothing like these tarp bags in America (Mass Production Company)

    Used will be just that - beaten up.

    Would it be better to buy new vinyl and ‘weather’ it yourself?

    Whats your location? Shipping would cost. I’ve got plenty.
