4lnKITE Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Alright everyone, you've all been a big help in the past, I don't think this will be any different. I'm making my own bag for my revs, the decision was made by revolution being sold out of their bags, and I just kinda like to be different. I've got the design done and have begun sewing but I'm looking for some patches for the outside, and maybe inside of the bag. Can anyone help with somewhere to get Revolution, Revguild, Laser pro, polokites, Los Hermanos or KITELIFE (ah-hem, JB) patches. anything will help. Wish me luck as I've never sewn before and I'm learning as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepster Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'd start with the companies first. A phone call to Lolly or Ben might be the first place to start. You left out Shani ... the owner usually answers the phone. Or, e-mail in the case of polo! As a side note ... it's hard to make a kite bag as good as the Rev bag for less money. Good luck, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks Tom. I already recieved an email back from Polo, he's gonna throw a patch or two in with the new kite when it ships. I looked at the websites but an old-fashioned phone call may be the way to go. if anyone has seen any out there let me know though. Just checked cafe press, they have EVERYTHING else, no patches though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Far as I know, Rev doesn't have any but we may still have some iQuad 5th Anniversary patches left (you'd need to check with Monkey). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 There were some Rev 20th Anniversary patches, you might find some of those about, I am afreaid I have 2, but they are sewn on my Rev bag. Not available I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks guys, I did call Revolution, they scrounged up a couple 20th anniversary patches, into the wind is also checking on if they have any laying around, thanks John, I'll check with monkey. I know Tom had said its hard to make a bag cheaper, I've spent $100 on the materials, and being as I enjoy it I won't charge myself for the labor.

Tomcat14 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Get a small butane torch for melt/sealing the edges of the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks Tomcat, luckily the ladies at the fabric store gave me that advise as well. It's coming along. If I can figure out how to post a picture on here I'll put some pics up. If not I'll post them on Facebook and you all can check them out there.

4lnKITE Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Alright guys, and gals , I finished the bag last night. Can't seem to upload photos here with a mobile device. I'll try from my home computer tonight, but the iPad and phone aren't working. Feel free to check a couple of picks out on Facebook. The name is Justin Abel. I'll double check to make sure the pics are on public but if not send a friend request; more kite friends are always good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sweet, can't wait to see it... When you do, can you elaborate on the functionality? Always keen to know what goes into a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Will do, John. The design was from a picture of a buddies rev bag. It has six kite pockets the one on the right is a little larger to accomodate the incoming shockwave. each sleeve will hold at least 2 1.5's in their sleeve. The pockets, by chance each ended up as two pockets; just by design and sewing. Works out well though for handles in the back and line sets in the front. I'll see you in April John an you can check it out. Not perfect by any means but a good first try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just posted some pics in my gallery Rev B Series. Finally realized you have to upload pics from a real computer, not a mobile Apple device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Very Nice.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks RR, it's serving it's purpose. I keep this up though and it won't be big enough to hold all the revs. . Still waiting on some patches from Los Hermanos And Polo with the arrival of the Polo mid-vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting on some patches from Los Hermanos And Polo with the arrival of the Polo mid-vent. Well, that's a good reason to make another bag (bigger). It usually take two or three attempts, before you get it big enough........... You've got two choices, sell some kites, or make a bigger bag - or both !

4lnKITE Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well, I used to DJ; kites are kinda like my records, haven't DJ'd in 5 years still can't bring myself to sell a record... BIGGER BAG IT IS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 This "Bigger Bag" is really taking a long time, to materialize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4lnKITE Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Reef Runner, let's just see how these drawings go this month. then we'll see what happens. Just got a custom indoor last week and the Polo mid came in 3 or 4 weeks ago. Have my eye on a Zen but waiting for the drawings before jumping in with both feet. worst case I just kick a few of the red-headed step children (single lines) out of the bag; at that point I'm pretty sure I could store 2 of each kind I rev; now that my wife is flying that may become a necessity. We'll see how she progresses. Happy winds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
