Dutchman don't you have one of these, this one is model GGB

Yes, but mine is a little older. It's my avatar. It's a model 3 1/2 and was originally fitted with a bladder that had an inflation tube that was tucked under the laces. When I bought it the bladder was long gone. I use a large DEB bladder which works well in it. I keep it a little on the soft side, don't want to stress the stitching.Still quite a lively bag.

Cool, i also have the 3 1/2 model too and boy it's a fun bag to hit on, unfortunately the panel stitching on one spot started to fall apart although i did repair it with carpet thread (i was a flooring installer) i didn't go far enough when i stitched it up, Now i have to find some nylon lining to wrap around the area where the two panels come together because the lining unraveled, You wouldn't happen to know where i could find some lining to repair my bag ?

Hmm. Have you tried JoAnn's? My wife was heavily into the theater back in the day (she had a masters in theater) and she did a fair amount of sewing. JoAnn's was always her go to for all kinds of fabric.
