I used T90 and T135 on the pack. The 135 was overkill, but the machine was already set up for it, so it got used.
Straps:
The straps are two layers of cordura with a piece of foam sandwiched in between, then 1" grosgrain binding around the edges. I didn't take any in-progress pictures of them. For the shape, I simply traced the straps off another pack that I liked.
