Gawd, Fogg and Billingham bags are nice. Talk about $$$, though!
I'll stick to my Chinese A&A ripoff
Yeah, black bags don't SCREAM CAMERA, and all we need is more rip-offs.
Black bags are HEAT SINKS. Just what film or sensors love.

Are you referring to the Leica M bag, knock-off of the original?

None of the bags I've used for Leicas and film SLRs was designed to carry cameras, but they all served the purpose, they were a damn sight cheaper, and I could choose the colours I liked.

i'm referring to the current version made by billingham.
the old, discontinued version still pops up on ebay, but i don't know what size it is. never knew there was a knock-off.

When I disparage "knock offs", I mean direct copies with no improvements and/or cheapening of quality, etc. Very little is new in terms of truly original design.

I have and still use one of those original Leica bags. It was sort of a promotional item at the time, priced at $17.50 retail. Then Nikon came out with a boxier canvas bag for $12.95. At the time most people were still using leather "gadget bags" at three or four times the price to schlep photo stuff.
A lot of shooters were buying military surplus bags, cheap and plentiful in the 1970's. A very close aproximation of the Leica bag in olive drab canvas could be had for $2.95. Younger photographers for the most part used them and they were popular with women as purses.
Nobody seems to buy Zero Halliburton aluminum cases, or the cheap knock-offs, anymore either.
