Thanks again. Yeah I've been using this
great Eagle Creek bag for years, and wanted something a little more professional looking for work traveling. - and squared on the top not rounded for a bit more space.
I realized last weekend when they unloaded the gate checked bags how perfectly my other one stood out, to me and others for the past few years.
Problem is with the new black one, with my laptop bag on top, it looks way too affluent for leisure travel in exotic locales. I'm past the hippie backpacker look but don't want to look like a business person everywhere. However domestically and for work I like to have a more professional look.
Some duct tape may be the key...
