This old Romanian army bread bag was already delightfully obsolete when introduced in the 70s. Bombproofly made from Genuine Materials. We generously give you permission to carry other things in this in addition to bread. There are several versions to choose from until there aren’t. If you are looking for an actually practical vintage bag, here’s a great example that doesn’t even ruin your budget!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis time, we got a shipment that contained several kinds of Romanian bread bags. Since they are pretty similar, we put them all under the same product. However, because the ability to choose can be a nice thing, they are available in different varieties. First, let’s say a few words about the unifying and then the unique features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is the wet dream of a vintage fanatic - except it's no dream and not even expensive! The Romanian bread bag is not only unbelievably pretty but also damn well made. It's pretty big, too; volume-wise, this bag is like a small rucksack, and the outside has options to attach even more stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese feature a divided main space, adjustable with the lid's closure straps and an extra fastening strap at the mouth. The dimensions are c. 32 x 28 x 12 cm (12\" x 11\" x 5\"). If you don’t want to haul bread, you can use these, e.g., to carry some books, a compactly-sized iPad, or beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strong canvas shoulder strap will probably never break. It looks like an old karate belt, except that it gets narrower at the ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen or blue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two color options. The deep lagoon blue bag reminds you of the summer evenings in the Carpathians. And the green one is perfect for all those who identify as wood elves or retrospectacular forest guerrillas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWith leather or fabric general purpose straps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the inside space isn't enough, there are three or four general-purpose straps on the outside for tying more stuff on top of the bag. You can choose between two options: older leather or newer fabric straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to replace the old ones, you will fit most straps up to 25 mm (1\") wide, but anything over 20 mm (0.8\") will require some shoving. The D-ring on the front is also a nice way to carry your enamel or alu mug!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomanian military surplus. These have been used with more or less vigor, but they are all still perfectly serviceable. Some are in a very nice condition for their age and might even be unissued. But be emotionally prepared that the fabric can have some small stains and warehouse dust. The metal parts might have some scratches or surface rust. On some bags, the canvas straps that close the bag have been replaced with straps of a different color. Most have the original straps, but don't be astonished if you happen to get one of these rare collector’s items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thickness of the leather straps varies a bit, and the leather has gone somewhat stiff with age on those that come with leather straps. We strongly recommend wiping the bag clean with a moist rag and treating the leather with generous amounts of grease. The lovely warehouse smell will, unfortunately, vanish with use. However, some seem to consider it a good thing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romania","offers":[{"title":"Blue w.

These old school cotton shelter halves are getting rarer by the day, so get yours now before they are gone forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis versatile age-old multi-blanket can be used as a groundsheet, shelter half, rain\/camouflage cape, stretchers, or a top layer for sleeping bag\/blanket. In almost every use it's just a tad too small on its own, part of the rugged charm! You can also wrap it around your blanket, sleeping bag, or all your worldly possessions and tie the bundle on your backpack.

When it's used as a cape, one corner works as the hood - note the drawcords that you use to tighten both the hood and the \"collar\". Then you fold the opposite corner inside and button it up (the buttonholes on the corner line up with the toggle buttons on the center of the tarp).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow you can button up the front as little or as much as you like. With the more open approach, you look like a heroic elf lord. And if you button it up more tightly, you resemble more of a sad cone creature but you are better protected from exciting weather phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen worn as a cape, you might notice that there are ACTUAL POCKETS under the armholes on the inside.
