Preferably something low key and in waxed canvas. Prefer not to use leather.
Think Tank Retrospective series does not seem to hava tripod attachement.
I have a Velbon UT-43 that folds up short enough to fit in a shoulder bag, so that may be the route I go. I also often go out with a Tamrac Zipshot that basically uses tent-pole style shock-corded legs. Folded up it is a bit long. Would be nice to have a way to lash it to the outside of a should bag.

Well you could get the Billingham Packington or the smaller 5 series bags, like the 225. They have additional tripod leather straps you could buy separately to attach to the bag if you don't use the also additional backpack straps.

Timbuktu camera bag?
Timbuktu camera bag?

I use the normal Timbuktu messenger bag w/ a snoop camera insert (extra small) which can fit both my dp1 & 2 m plus enough space left for the rx100 easy. A small can fit my xe1 w/ 14, xp2 w/ 35 and space for an extra lens.
The Timbuktu camera bag uses the same inserts, but has the tripod straps on it. I have never physical played w/ this bag though.
I have several Timbuktu messenger bags. One that fits up to a 15 inch mac book pro can use up to a medium snoop camera insert but is a tight fit. The one I normally use is for an 11-13 inch laptop and can hold up to a small, but I prefer a extra small so I don't overload the bag.

What I like about these bags is they look like plain messenger bags.

My last bag was an A&A, and while it was really good, the workmanship/design was sh#@$#, and the bag wore out after a couple of years. Might have been a problem particular to the model I bought, but I won't be buying an A&A again.

Great tip, Gary!
I was also looking at Moop bags for the same reason, plus I like the waxed canvas look. But getting one sent over here will be an expensive proposition.
Last night just before going to sleep, I stumbled across Mantona, a German manufacturer of bags, tripods and other stuff: http://www.mantona.de/produkte
Prices here in Europe are very reasonable.
They have what looks like an excellent carbon-titanium tripod that weighs under 1kg and costs less than half of some of the famous high end models by other manufacturers. I think I will definitely save to get one.
The bags look very functional. Most don't really appeal to me, but the "cool bag" looks like a good bag for a small kit, while the Rhodolit backpack looks like a decent tripod-carrying backpack for about 1/3 the price of what a similar pack from Think Tank would cost over here.
They also make a sling carrier for a tripod.
