V-0140 Slim Veshmeshok / Daypack in Camoreal® camouflage pattern
The Veshmeshok used to be "just" a simple hundred years old Soviet Army backpack worn by millions of Soviet and Russian soldiers and later via the surplus market by Finnish Hipsters. ;-)
It indeed is a simple yet very practical design coming with only one adjustable sling that at the same time closes the bag and serves as shoulder straps. Simply put - the heavier you fill the bag, the more secure the knot gets in holding it.
I decided to "modernize" the concept and give it new live as the "big brother" of the ubiquitous Drawstring bag. And a big brother it is, having way more room and a "proper" sling instead of strings. Also, all Veshmeshoks feature an external pocket.
This one comes in a modern commercial camouflage pattern - the US Camoreal®, in this case on a light synthetic fabric and reinforced on the bottom with brown suede. It has an external pocket closed with two zippers. The 1 in wide carrying sling is made of khaki canvas and the Veshmeshok is lined in Olive drab over-dyed cotton fabric salvaged from a tablecloth. This Veshmeshok is of the slim version.
Like most bags this of course also comes with a sample sheet detailing the materials used.
Size: ca. 23 in x 14 in
