I've been a Timbuk2 fan for years - purchasing my first one over 10 years ago, and aside from a single computer bag from Crumpler that I purchased while abroad, I've been loyal to the brand.
In April, Timbuk2 opened their first retail location in Haves Valley, and last weekend I decided to pop in and check it out. This store focuses only on custom messenger bags, offering a selection of textured and patterned fabrics. They also have some of the accessory bags (for iPods, Treos, etc), and that's about it.
If you're looking to put together a truly one of a kind messenger bag, stop in and take a look.
