Yes, there is competition: Acorn, Berthoud, Ostrich, VO Campagne, maybe others. But several used and NOS TA bags went for a pretty penny on Ebay lately. I'd be interested in a TA-style bag of some size for less than an Ostrich. Your flap opens from the back, right? That alone would place it ahead of the Ostrich, in my book.

What are you doing other than the bag?
