it looks fine, the important thing like everyone said is that it's comfortable, i've never had a chrome bag but do they have a padded strap? i had my timbuk2 for years without a padded strap and one day walking through nyc with a load of books in my bag i decided to stop at a bag shop that had timbuk2 and buy a strap pad, i couldn't be me thankful, i never felt uncomfortable without it but with it, oh buddy is it nice
