So the Wotan Craft Pilot 10 liter has a piece of nylon strap on the back, so yes that can behave like sandpaper if you wear a wool coat lets say.

You can see this on the picture on their website. The canvas material itself is fine and on the smaller ones back they don't have it.

It actually wrecked one of my Canada Goose jackets, but Canada Goose recognized that as a material issue and refunded. My other jackets were fine. With wool jackets or coats this is definitely a problem.

If you are looking for something very small the Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10 will fit a Q3 43 no problem. My 43 fits no problem on its side, even with Q3 lens hood & Thumbs Up rubber lens cap. Just take out the little insert divider. 

I’ll take a photo tomorrow if you want ?

I used a Novoflex Wrap for my Q3 and carried it this way for a year in any backpack I use daily. 
Now I upgraded slightly and bought a Peter Hadley London System I bag that holds the Q with my attached Eddycam strap and up to two extra batteries. This bag goes into my daily backpack as before.

I came across the Think Tank Press Pass 10 while wandering through my local shop (Precision Camera). Absolutely love it. I can carry BOTH my Q2M and Q343 at the same time, with a battery bank in between for charging. Or I can pull one of the cameras out, and carry a few other things as well. Plus, it doesn't scream "expensive camera bag," which is nice.

I can't believe you are asking........seriously. Its the same size as every other bloody Q for God's sake. Buy a damn bag that the camera fits in. Want us to help with choosing your underwear and socks too? I will let in on my secret. I walked into a camera store with my Q3 and put inside some bags to see if it would fit along with any other things. Simple. Now go and buy your bag.

I can't believe that you missed the irony in this post.  Bag and strap threads are an established tradition on this forum.

I appreciate this thread, as I only recently discovered and purchased a Q (343) camera.

I found this discounted Oberwerth Q2 bag, which, by coincidence, was the same as the Q3 bag, only several hundred dollars less on closeout sale, making it just extremely pricey.   Had I found this thread earlier, maybe I would have considered one of the canvas bag recommendations.  Other than the price, I like the bag a lot for a single camera.  I also have a similar-sized nylon Sony bag, 12 years old, for my RX1, that is a bit more functional but a little more Walmart in the looks department.

This bag is supposed to be water resistant leather.  Some criticize water can sneak in, but the flaps seem like they would be pretty good at keeping water out... and the camera is water resistant, so there's that. With the divider, I currently fit a blower and charging cord, and/or a flash cold fit there.  There are a few other thin pockets that would be fine for various filters.

I'm still debating the best way to put in while the camera is wearing the hot shoe thumb grip.  I think I am preferring the camera body in the center of the bag.

My bag for a new camera evolves as I work out my likely usage habits.

My Q2 was usually carried in a Fogg Soprano, and had a wrist strap - I much prefer shoulder bags and wrist straps for casual carries (or a hand strap for the SL/SL2-S, which I guess is more for continuous photography). And a neck strap gets tangled up in a bag. The Q3 43 can of course occupy the same space in the Soprano as the Q2 (which occupies a cardboard box, waiting to be shipped off). But as I expect it to double as a back-up for the SL2-S, I shall try it tomorrow in a Fogg b major together with the SL2-S + 24-90SL - both ready to hand.

My “Lidle Leica bag” is the perfect yin and yang for those in the know. Discrete, inexpensive, allows you to carry expensive $hit and no one will know how much of a cheap-skate you are.

The Q3 is meant to be used, so don’t carry it in a bag. I always have it around my neck with a COOPH Leica Rope Strap. If I do take it in a bag, it’s in my ONA The Bowery Messenger Bag. Ideal for the Q3, an extra battery, and some small essentials.

From the "what it's  worth" category....

I just received Think Tank's bag known as the "Press Pass 10".  I thought I would share it with you.  I have my Q3 43 and my Q2M in it.  It carries both really well either as a fanny pack or as a shoulder bag with the accompanying strap.  The fanny pack straps are built in and you can tuck them away if you are more of a shoulder type.  Some pics are attached.

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Good to see another Press Pass user! I love mine, and carry my Q3 43 and Q2M in it just about everyday.

Billingham 72, if it is not in my Billingham Hadley Small, possibly with a Nikon Zf with a small lens or a Fujifilm X-T3.

The first bag is very well padded. Fits like a glove. I do not think the 43mm version would be a problem.

I briefly tried the 72 for my Q3 43 but it was a very tight fit. For the Q3 with minimal accessories I use the Wotoncraft 2L. For more room and/or for travel I prefer the Billingham Digital bag. By removing one of the inserts, the Q3 with a grip fits sideways leaving space for sunglasses or a flash or 2nd compact camera like a Ricoh GR III.
