The Shoulder Bag... A question?
The shoulder bag Is it Green or is it Tan?
The original I got is a tan canvas
Yet, I have see eBay auctions for bags that say they are original and they are green.
The costumebase replica I got as my first bag is green
It looks tan in the movies.
So, what is correct?

I've got a deep olive MKVII that can look VERY tan if caught in certain lighting - outdoors it looks more tan than green - as does a good friend's entirely green MKVII.
So the color in the movies most likely varies with each lighting set up and bag they used at the time. Best to just go with whatever you want in the look of your MKVII. Some members prefer tan and others prefer deep green.
Hope that helps.

Mine looks tan in everyday lighting, not with the flash just in daylight or house lights
I always thought it was tan even in the movies.
I have just seen so many different colors now I just wanted to see what everyone else thought
Thanks

It really is sort of a personal preference at this point, especially because the bag color seems to vary from scene to scene. I prefer a tanner look to the green ones, and the one in KotCS is decidedly tan, but all the same I'll be dying my Magnoli bag just very slightly olive to get the Cairo color. The ones I've seen on here that look like a deep green just don't seem accurate to me.
Magnoli's bag is an excellent way to go, the quality of it is top notch and the color is near perfect once you dirty it up.

I also have an M H & Co bag with the rounded press studs on the flap. It's an Australian make.Danny Dravot wrote:I always thought it was tan also. That was reinforced early on when I stumbled across a MK VII at a gun show in '81 or early '82, and bought it for a couple bucks. At the time, I was a kid and thought it was "close enough," little did I know that it was pretty much the right model.
This particular make of MK VII doesn't show up over on the IndyGear site, so here are some photos:
It's either tan, or severely faded (although the inside is the same shade).
