This Messenger Bag is what is considered “camouflage heresy”! It combines two patterns that couldn’t be more polarizing: the venerable old US M81 Woodland, by many considered as “Godsplaid” and its controversial successor in US Army service: the Universal Camouflage pattern UCP. Parts of both were salvaged from different US Army uniforms.
The 2 in wide adjustable carrying sling is made from NOS stocks of US Army Polyester webbing equipped with gunmetal-finished hardware. On the rear of the bag there’s an exterior pocked closed with Velcro and intended for quick access for stuff like documents or a magazine to read. The rear also has a small pocket taken from a field shirt. On the front exterior there is a small pocket / pencil holder in UCP. Inside there are a large zippered pocket as well as a divider with another pocket and a strap with a hook for a key ring. The Bag itself is lined completely in UCP as well and has been reinforced with truck tarp all around. Closure is via original Foliage Green Velcro and there’s a US Flag patch on the front flap.
This plain and slick Messenger Bag lets you wear a piece of modern US military surplus combining two very common camouflage patterns that you will rarely find blending together that well.
Like most bags this of course also comes with a sample sheet detailing the materials used.
Size: 16 in x 12 in x 4 in
