Olive:
or what they're calling "Buffalo Herd":
No, they're not period authentic, nor screen accurate, but they look pretty good (surplusish?), and its easy to remove the Old Navy dog tag that comes with it. The metal buckles are chemically etched with a light patina of rust, and the straps over all three main compartments actually close with a hidden press stud (snap). But the kicker for me? The price: these canvas babies are $15.00 US, and for my part, help me carry all the clobber I can't stuff in my Mark VII (@#$% textbooks :evil:
), and still maintain a bit of additional Jones-look to go with the Aldens and what-not.... I may pick up another one, maybe even in "Buffalo Herd"!Here's the link to the Old Navy webpage featuring the bags: http://www.oldnavy.com/asp/Product.asp? ... pid=246073
I know the Boy Scout backpack from Crusade has been noted before, but, other than the removable dog tag, these make, IMHO, a pretty fine (and affordable, for those living on student loans...) and functional piece for one's ensemble, whether a student or not. Pick it apart if you will, but it works for me!
Back-to-school, folks, back-to-school!Sincere regards,
Henry Jones, Sr.
), if anyone sees these on sale, please PM me with the news. I'd sure appreciate it....Regards. Michaelson
