Japanese Licensed MKVII bag

Not sure if it is 1:1, but looks very nice replicated.

Well that's the way to doo it if you're going to put a logo on it.

I think that's REALLY cool. I think I want one.

That is one NICE replica. I want it! I can't read Japanese at all though. :(

They've got some pretty funny Indy replicas on their website too. A Holy Grail paper clip holder? :lol:

That's nice, I like how the stitching looks like a original bag. The buckle is not a CS one, but it's interesting that none of the pics shows it clearly.

Mmm, brass rings and side disc? The strap seems to be stuck together on the 'buckle' side...weird.

Might get one just as a curio. :)

it looks alright, but i'll wait until someone here gets one in-hand before i consider purchase. I have a feeling we'll end up preferring our Magnoli bags more.

Templar, i agree that the strap seems to be bound on the buckle side.
as for not showing the buckle clearly, I guess they're just not as fanatical as us about SA strap buckles.

The little zippy pocket is a great touch. All I have to do now is figure out if のボックスの「ショ means "Add to Cart" ;)

By the time you add shipping and duty/custom fees, the bag will end up costing close to $100 or more.....IMO, the Magnolia bag is a better value (and looks better, too).

Here are some photos of these Japanese exclusive MKVII bag replica. The bag is well-replicated in every details, although the canvas is slightly heavier, and the weave is rougher, and the color is slightly darker than the original bag.

Unfortunately, the buckle is incorrect, and the leather strap is a little too soft, so it makes I think it may not stand for heavy load, but the good news is that the strap is quite long. The worse part is that the strap is put in a wrong side, means that if you wear the bag like Indy, then the buckle will be on your back.

Enjoy the photos.

That is a great bag. I like the top buttons. I might have ordered that one instead of mine.

I'm thinking of ordering one of these... how is the strap attached? Is it possible to reverse it so the buckle is facing the right direction?

It looks like a great bag, I actually like the zippy pocket, but all those tags and that HUGE "Indiana Jones" logo, :roll:

I give it a 12 in the Geek Factor for the logos..
