THE STORY

The olive drab green shell of this bag is from a great, vintage, Army jumpsuit that I sourced from a Army/Navy Surplus store back when they had the real deal militaria. Very cool, but it never fit me right.

So, I cut it up. 

From that I made a killer shorty jacket. And then I just had bunch of left over fabric. A surplus if you will.

Keeping with the theme of authenticity there is a literal bullet hole at the front of the bag, now repaired. The distressed quality leather is from Caldelle Leathers, a wholesale leather source that was a staple for Fashion & Interior Designers in the ‘80s, ‘90s and 2000s.
