Hey folks. While Christmas shopping with the Mrs., I found an awesome modern looking alternative to the classic Indy bag. It was in a pile of closeout items in a womans store( I know
)called H+M. It is tan with lots of compartmentsinside, zippered and not, and a nice clean appearance on the out.
I have no way of posting a pic, but if someone wants to help out, that can post them, email me, and I will send a bunch of pics.
Blues.

Thanks, Molo
BTW, this bag only cost $10 bucks.
Add a leather strap, and you can have a purse, err... bag any adventurer would be proud of.
here they are

Actually, it is more desert tan, than olive drab.
It is constructed very well, and is made of 100% cotten. I wish I would have picked up a few more of these.

That looks like a nice bag.
Are the measurements about the same as on a Mk VII?

I bought a very similar bag to that one in H&M a few months ago.
Mine is made from a canvas type material and makes a pretty good 'ladies' bag.
H&M is also where I bought my web belts, dark brown and light tan.

It sounds like I'm gonna have to take a look at H&M then, like IKEA, only for clothes.
Were the web belts accurate?

OK folkz!
I'm from Switzerland and I have to tell you: H&M is quite popular here, it is actually "Hennes & Mauritz" and they sell clothes (not just for women, they also have men clothes) and in the local H&M store here, I found my perfect Indy pants last week (OK, they're not perfect, but the color is right, it has the pocket flaps etc. looks perfect in my eyes!), but that bag isn't available here.
Looks like a nice bag, but I'll rather go with a WWII mkVII gas mask bag.

Comparing them to the web belts from Noel Howard, they are pretty accurate. I've noticed that the pictures of the NH belts on Indy gear have small piece of metal with a rectangular hole, something mine don't have but the colours of mine are pretty accurate all the same.
