And, it has a leather handle so that it is easy to carry around without the shoulder straps, for short periods of time.

I had one of those once but it didn't work with my specs and made me look shorter. However your taller so it probably looks good. It was a cool bag though.

Hmmm... How does a bag make you look shorter?

I am pretty aware of color, silhouette, tone, etc... but this is the first I've heard of a bag making anyone looks shorter (or taller). The strap can be adjusted...

I swear it did and I wasn't the only person to notice, maybe it was just random but I'm 5 8' and I thought it made me look like 5 6'.

I was at the APC sale and none of the stuff (except one deep blue pullover sweatshirt which I didn't exctly need) fit me. I also had to size down on all the shirts and many were still too big.

^^^The arms were always cut weird too on APC stuff. I like the outerwear but none of the shirts.

I got the blue-grey Garcon cut shirt in a small, and it's 16.5" shoulder, 20" pit-to-pit. Fit me perfectly, but it was a little narrow toward the bottom. Not sure I'll wear it untucked because of that.

- it actually looks bigger due to the square shape. It is a 42mm, so same as my other 2 IWCs - but they are round.. If that makes sense.
