What do people think of that bag? I'm tempted to grab a brown one. Rothco is pretty sturdy military stuff, but usually doesn't look so good. I haven't seen one in person, but it looks pretty good online.

I think they are really cool. My tastes lean more rustic like that with bags.

i'd need to see the straps and the stitching detail to decide if it was nice. i'm skeptical for $35, but it's not outside the realm of possibility; if they're making 1,000,000 of them, they could have some serious capital invested and make precision stuff for cheap.


decreasing marginal cost, and all that.

I think I'd want to see it in person first. Rothco makes their money by selling super-cheap military-looking stuff at surplus stores. I would not necessarily assume that their products are of the same quality or durability as genuine surplus items.

I've been planning on getting one for a while. I was also thinking of waxing it to try out the waxed canvas thing
