I'm aware of Zpacks, FF, and Nunatak. Who else is there….that's reputable?
Not interested in a quilt but am interested in a custom hoodless bag.
Thanks!

Goosefeet has made some custom quilts–he might do a bag if you ask.

What about having a hooded bag chopped down?

bag will be his (I currently use Western Mountaineering Highlite).Aug 3, 2012 at 6:12 am #1899804I believe Western Mountaineering will do custom stuff as well, for an upcharge of course.

They are based out of Seattle and make all of their stuff right there. I had them add a built in pillow sack into my bag.. Choose from colors, over stffing options, etc.
Super helpful

I had forgotten about Down Works. Though in business since 1974, I rarely see them mentioned. Can anyone vouch for them?
Re WM, I spoke with them at Outdoor Retailer. The only custom stuff they do is overfills and expanders…in case someone plumps up a little too much over the holidays.
