I've been collecting some vintage, deadstock, and surplus military fabrics for about 10 years now, always waiting for a moment to use them on something worthy. After we discontinued our canvas bags earlier this year in order to focus on clothing development and leather goods, I wasn't sure what I would do with them until recently. Packs of some type are a military staple, so what better use than to make them into a few Field Packs?
BEO GAM CAMO:
This fabric was gifted to me by a friend who used to work with L.C. King in Bristol, TN. It is of unknown age and origin, but it's a beautiful dead stock fabric in wonderful condition.
Surplus US Military Pup Tent:
In 2014, before I moved to Nashville, I met up with Travis Weaver of Manready Mercantile and Christian Watson of 1924US. We ended up at the Nashville Flea Market and I picked one of these tents to use someday. For 10 years it sat unused and in storage and we finally pulled it out for this bag. There is only 1 available. please note that this fabric has some small imperfections and one hole on the front. it is not an issue and if it ever expands, we will patch it for free.
German Rain Camo Pup Tent:
This Field Pack is made from a German Rain Camo tent I bought from Europe a few years ago. It's a beautiful pattern and color, and has a sutble slub to it.
Only two of each color were made available. only 1 with the US stamp on it. If you're reading this, all 6 bags are sold out.
Handmade in our Nashville Studio from vintage and deadstock materials
Limited release. We will not remake bags from these deadstock fabrics again anytime soon (we don't have anymore anyways!)
Got some cool old fabric you want to see made into a bag, jacket, or vest? shoot us an email
