Just a little bigger than the Red Oxx Gator?

The Gator is 12"L x 6"W x 9"H which is almost perfect due to various personal item size restrictions but I would need a 14"L while the other two is just fine. Does this exist? Doesn't need to be Red Oxx but some respectable brand would be nice -- but I must say I love Red Oxx bags. I have the CPA which is too big (and a customized Sky Train which is not even in the same league).

If we go throwaway quality then 5 cities has a 16x10x6 which is OK size wise but .. um I don't trust a 18 USD bag

The smallest dimension must be 6" less won't be enough and more will make Air Canada unhappy. The second is 9-10 to keep United happy (in the far future when I am comfortable again flying to/from the USA). The third is similarly limited to be 14-16. It's really specific. I have a lightweight but really important 8" x 4" x 13.5 " item and then the usual small knick knacks which are handy to be in the personal item instead of big ... Sky Train on my back.

Have you looked at Tom Bihn. He makes some great bags. I have a few myself. I also use red oxx products.

I went from the Gator to the Tom Bihn Co Pilot. Perfect for me. If you want larger look at the Pilot.
