Good news for our left-handed comrades! The lefty option is back in the Bag Builder. Now you can choose to have the TrueFit cam buckle sewn to the left side of custom messengers. Why is this a victory for lefties worldwide? Let me (attempt to) explain . . . Lefties typically wear messengers over their right shoulder which means they need the cam buckle sewn to the left side of the messenger so they can swing it around under their left arm and adjust the cam buckle with their right hand. Righties do the exact opposite. Capiche?
Thank you to the lefties who spoke up and to the righties who like to pretend they’re lefties. Timbuk2 is proud to support all arms, digits, and ambiturners. Now go forth and build a lefty messenger!
The lefty option is back in Bag Builder! Unfortunately, we can’t make changes to the Napoleon pocket, but lefties can still access it by swinging the bag all the way around. Not ideal (sorry!), but Napoleon wasn’t exactly a saint.

Can let us decide whether we want the napolean pocket on the left or the right side zip?
I’m not a lefty but I always wear my messenger bag on my right shoulder. I adjust my cam buckle with my right hand.
I gotta wear my other Timbuk2 messenger bags, with the default right handed option, backwards (with the bag opening next my body) in order to adjust the cam with my right hand.
Thanks for keeping that left handed option in the Bag Builder.
I am also waiting for the option of the napoleon pocket sewn to the other side
Im with May on this one. I’m one of those righties that prefer to wear my bags over the right shoulder. By default that’s how I put my bag on without thinking. Thanks for the option.
